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.

While Kyle Larson made a mockery of the NASCAR Cup Series Round of 16 finale, leading 462 of 500 laps during last Sunday’s Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway, pilot Denny Hamlin drove to save Joe Gibbs Racing’s season. After placing 24th in the playoff-opener at Atlanta and 23rd at Watkins Glen, […]
William Byron pulled off a late-race move at Talladega that some HMS fans have questioned. The No. 24 driver explains why he did it.
A day after Alex Bowman told reporters in Chicago that he is still bothered about wrecking Denny Hamlin at Martinsville in 2021, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver wrecked him and ended his day.
Ross Chastain ended a slump with an emphatic win at Nashville, which also happens to be the home track for Trackhouse Racing.
Alex Bowman’s discussion about what he brings on road trips took an unexpected turn regarding his dogs.
Kyle Larson has entered both weekend races at Sonoma, where he hopes to start making up ground on the Cup Series leaders.
