40 Under 40

Nominations now closed!
With our 11th 40 Under 40 class, Automotive News entered a second decade of recognizing young dealership leaders. Last year’s stars have led digital retailing transformations, found new ways to stock vehicles during an inventory crisis and chipped away at recruiting challenges.
For the 12th year, Automotive News is now selecting the 2023 class of exceptional 40 Under 40 leaders in auto retailing.
The nomination window has now been closed. We will be announcing this year’s class of honorees on July 10, 2023, in the Automotive News issue.
