Lambert was previously Cup Series crew chief for Richard Childress Racing, Roush Fenway Racing (now RFK Racing) and Legacy Motor Club. He first worked on Jeff Burton's No. 31 RCR car in the Cup Series as an engineer and a crew chief, then became the crew chief for their No. 2 car in the Nationwide (now Xfinity) Series driven by Elliott Sadler, followed by a second stint as a Cup Series crew chief on the No. 31 (later renumbered as the No. 8) car, driven by Burton, Ryan Newman, and Daniel Hemric. He then moved to Roush as the crew chief for their No. 17 car, driven by Chris Buescher, and later the team's No. 6 car where he reunited with Newman, and then to JRM as the crew chief for Gragson and their No. 9 car, and continued with Gragson when he moved up to the Cup Series full-time in 2023 driving for LMC, staying as the crew chief through the rest of the year with other drivers, including Hocevar, after Gragson's suspension and departure from the team.
