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.
Making his first NASCAR start in nearly seven years, Kasey Kahne had an eventful day in Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Rockingham Speedway, which hosted NASCAR for the first time in over a decade. Kahne, an 18-time NASCAR Cup Series race winner, campaigned a fast No. 33 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet carrying primary sponsorship […]
Thursday was a day of great mourning and sadness in the world of NASCAR. In the morning, news broke that veteran and highly respected NASCAR writer Al Pearce had passed away. Then, several hours later, it became known that longtime public relations professional Jon Edwards — a Hendrick Motorsports employee and mainstay of the NASCAR […]
Add NASCAR’s perennial most popular driver, Chase Elliott, to the growing chorus of people within the industry who strongly disapproved of last weekend’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Martinsville Speedway. Addressing reporters on Saturday at Darlington Raceway, Elliott — who’s made his own share of controversial moves over the years — took aim at the […]
Six races into the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, it’s fair to say that some degree of parity exists. After all, in those first half-dozen events, all three manufacturers — Chevrolet, Toyota and Ford — have been to Victory Lane. Also, the Wood Brothers’ Josh Berry scored his first career victory, and no one driver […]
Hendrick Motorsports teammates Kyle Larson and William Byron will “crossover” and alternate seats for Spire Motorsports during three upcoming NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series races. “One of the coolest things of having a Craftsman Truck Series team is to have the crossover from Hendrick Motorsports and Hendrick Automotive Group,” Spire Motorsports co-owner Jeff Dickerson said, as […]
Before the green flag waves on this weekend’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas, Austin Cindric wanted to get on the same page with fellow driver Kyle Larson. The two collided while racing for the lead in the final laps of last Sunday’s race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, with […]
Once considered the NASCAR Cup Series’ resident road course king, Chase Elliott hasn’t been to Victory Lane on a road circuit since the debut of the Next Generation Cup Series car in 2022. That’s pretty hard to believe when considering Elliott’s overall record at tracks that require both left-hand and right-hand turns. Will this be […]
Second-year full-time NASCAR Cup Series driver Carson Hocevar recorded the best finish of his young career on Sunday at Atlanta Motor Speedway. But for Hocevar, who came home second to Christopher Bell in a close three-way battle for the win also involving Kyle Larson, it wasn’t all rainbows and ice cream after the race. Instead, […]
William Byron started the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season in the greatest way possible: winning the Daytona 500. But what are the Hendrick Motorsports driver’s odds of backing up that victory with a trip to Victory Lane in Sunday’s Ambetter Health 400? Historically-speaking, not very good. Drivers rarely make it a clean sweep of the […]
Three-for-three in his NASCAR Xfinity Series qualifying attempts at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Jesse Love attempted to sound like he didn’t take his success for granted. It was hard though. On his father’s birthday, Love on Friday turned a hot lap of 174.724 mph, earning the pole position for Saturday’s Fr8 208. He will begin on […]
