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.
Defending NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson has the OK from Rick Hendrick and Jeff Gordon to take a run at the Indianapolis 500 if he so desires.
Rick Hendrick was a bit late and maybe a little forgetful in acknowledging recent work by Petty GMS that benefitted the Hendrick Motorsports empire.
William Byron is back above the cut line after getting all his points back from an appeals panel.
Alex Bowman is the latest Cup driver to suffer a concussion, but instead of accurately describing his injury, everyone is focused on the symptoms, and that must stop.
William Byron’s 2022 NASCAR Playoffs run is in serious jeopardy in multiple ways.
Sunday’s NASCAR Playoffs race at Talladega was surprisingly the most straightforward of the postseason thus far.
The prerace show at Talladega showed video of Alex Bowman and his reaction after his crash at Texas and it is hard to watch.
Alex Bowman communicated over his team radio just seconds after his crash at Texas how bad his hit was well before doctors confirmed it.
Alex Bowman can still qualify for the next round of the Cup Series playoffs, but he would have to be cleared to drive at Charlotte and probably win on the road course there.
NASCAR was two days late and a bit too harsh in hitting William Byron with a penalty.
