Hendrick Motorsports
Between Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Terry Labonte, Mark Martin, Darrell Waltrip, and plenty more, Hendrick Motorsports has rostered some of the biggest names in NASCAR’s history.
The professional racing organization was founded by Rick Hendrick in 1984 and originally known as All Star Racing, and it’s enjoyed more success than any other team with a record-setting number of victories in the Cup Series and 18 drivers’ championships across the sport’s leading circuits.
Hendrick Motorsports fields four full-time cars in the Cup Series: the No. 5 Chevrolet driven by Kyle Larson, the No. 9 Chevrolet driven by Chase Elliott, the No. 24 Chevrolet driven by William Byron, and the No. 48 Chevrolet driven by Alex Bowman. Bowman, Byron, and Kyle Larson also compete under the Hendrick Motorsports umbrella in the Xfinity Series.
Alex Bowman says a lot of promotional work and preparation has taken place this offseason, so he won’t be surrendering No. 48 to Jimmie Johnson.
Hendrick Motorsports plans to be more active in the Xfinity Series in 2023, but that doesn’t mean fielding a full-time team.
Jeff Gordon was on his way out of Phoenix Raceway when a female worked flagged him down. That was the start of an adventure.
Jimmie Johnson and the No. 48 Chevy are synonymous, but that doesn’t mean he’ll drive with his old number next season.
Rick Hendrick was a surprising financial loser when Ross Chastain pulled off his amazing move to squeeze into the Championship 4.
Alex Bowman has been cleared to return to the NASCAR Cup Series and will drive in Phoenix.
Kyle Larson won’t qualify for the NASCAR Championship 4 that attracts all the attention, but he’s in the one that helps his team pay the bills.
The parity that has defined the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season could extend into the Championship 4.
Hendrick Motorsports has recruited Blake Harris from Michael McDowell’s team to be Alex Bowman’s crew chief in 2023.
A 2011 Chevy driven by Jeff Gordon in a pair of top-10 finishes is on the market. Considering the condition, the six-figure price isn’t outlandish.
