For 2024, Hendrick Motorsports fields four full-time Cup Series teams with the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1; the No. 5 for Kyle Larson, the No. 9 for Chase Elliott, the No. 24 for William Byron, and the No. 48 for Alex Bowman. The team formerly fielded teams in the now-NASCAR Xfinity Series before merging its efforts with JR Motorsports before returning on a part-time basis in 2022. Hendrick Motorsports also fielded several trucks in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, most recently for Elliott in 2013. The team has fielded cars in the past for many NASCAR drivers, including Hall of Famers Jeff Gordon, Mark Martin, Terry Labonte, Darrell Waltrip, Benny Parsons, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and seven-time Cup champion Jimmie Johnson, and others such as Geoff Bodine, Tim Richmond, Ricky Rudd, Ken Schrader, Ricky Craven, Jerry Nadeau, Joe Nemechek, Kyle Busch, Casey Mears, and Kasey Kahne. Hendrick Motorsports maintains an in-house engine shop, with the team leasing some of its engines to technical partners such as JTG Daugherty Racing.[2]

What is now Hendrick Motorsports was founded prior to the 1984 season by Rick Hendrick, a Charlotte, North Carolina-based car dealership owner who currently operates a network of dealerships called Hendrick Automotive Group. The team was formed with crew chief and car builder Harry Hyde as All-Star Racing.[3][4][5] The team, renamed Hendrick Motorsports in 1985, was involved with the GM Goodwrench IMSA GTP Corvette and twin-turbo V6 engine development effort and competed in the IMSA GTP series from 1985 through 1988 with drivers Doc Bundy and Sarel van der Merwe. Hendrick Motorsports and GM ceased the project in 1988.

Hendrick Motorsports expanded its NASCAR efforts to two full-time cars in 1986, three in 1987, and four in 2002.[6][7][8] It was one of the first teams in NASCAR to be successful operating multiple entries, partly based on the model used at the Hendrick car dealerships.[3][6] The team has also been credited for innovations in engine construction[9] and pit crew training.[10][11][12] In 2020, Hendrick Motorsports partnered with AdvoCare in its performance and fitness teams.[13]

Hendrick Motorsports (as All-Star Racing) won its first race in 1984 at Martinsville with the No. 5 driven by Geoff Bodine. At the 2021 Coca-Cola 600, Hendrick Motorsports became the winningest team in NASCAR Cup Series history when it won its 269th race with the No. 5 driven by Kyle Larson. This eclipsed the record held by Petty Enterprises at 268 wins, which had held the record of the winningest team in the series since 1960.[14]

In 2023, Hendrick worked with NASCAR, Chevrolet, and Goodyear Tires to enter the 24 Hours of Le Mans with a modified version of the current NASCAR Cup car, in conjunction with the 75th anniversary of NASCAR.

NASCAR Xfinity Series

edit

Hendrick Motorsports fielded in-house entries in the Busch Series from 1984 to 1990, and again from 2000 to 2007, primarily the No. 5 entry. Following the conclusion of the 2007 racing season, Hendrick Motorsports and JR Motorsports (owned by then-Hendrick Motorsports driver Dale Earnhardt Jr.) officially combined Xfinity Series operations. The No. 5 Chevrolets began running full-time under the JR Motorsports banner in 2008, and the team receives engines and technical support from Hendrick Motorsports, with several of its employees moving to JR Motorsports. Rick Hendrick is an equity partner in JRM and continues to be listed as car owner of the No. 5 team.

Car No. 5 history

edit
Part-time (1985–1986)

The No. 5 car debuted in 1985 with Brett Bodine ran 12 races. The younger Bodine brother would win three races for the team. Geoff Bodine ran four races in the No. 5 car. Bodine won the season opener Goody's 300.

In 1986, Geoff Bodine drove the No. 5 for one race at Bristol. He won the pole and finished 16th.

Ricky Hendrick (2002)

The current No. 5 car debuted as the No. 14 of JG Motorsports in 2000, with Rick Hendrick's son Ricky Hendrick finishing 39th in the season finale at Homestead.[15][16]

The number was switched to No. 5 when the car began competing full-time in 2002. After Ricky Hendrick was injured in a wreck at Las Vegas,[17][18] Ron Hornaday Jr. took over for the next six races before Hendrick returned at Richmond. Toward the end of the season, Hendrick suddenly announced his retirement from driving due to lingering effects from the crash, but he remained as car owner until his death in 2004.[17][18] David Green finished out the season for the team.[18][19]

Brian Vickers (2003)

Ricky Hendrick selected 19-year-old Brian Vickers to drive the No. 5 car in 2003.[17][18] Vickers won three races and the Busch Series championship, finishing just 14 points ahead of Hendrick test driver and former No. 5 team spotter David Green.[18][20][21]

Kyle Busch (2004)

When Vickers moved up to the Cup Series, Kyle Busch became the No. 5 car's driver after he had run seven races the previous season.[17][18] In his rookie year, Busch won five races and was runner-up to Martin Truex Jr. in points.[18][22] He moved up to the Cup Series after the season, but he continued to drive the No. 5 Busch Series car part-time for several more years.

Multiple Drivers (2005–2006)

Adrián Fernández drove the car for six races in 2005, finishing tenth at Autódromo, his only top ten finish of the season.[21][22] Hendrick development drivers Blake Feese, Boston Reid, and Kyle Krisiloff also periodically drove the No. 5 car, running a combined fifteen races.[22] Busch and Jimmie Johnson ran the rest of the schedule,[22] with Busch winning at Lowe's while also scoring one top five and two top tens and scoring a pole at Bristol while Johnson scored only one top five and a pole at Darlington. As for Fernández, Feese, Reid, and Krisiloff, the 4 drivers driving the 5 car combined 21 starts scoring no wins, no top fives, and only one top ten with Fernández's 10th place run in Mexico along with a combined average finish of 31.2 and had 10 DNF's which made Rick Hendrick put his driver development program on hold.

In 2006, Busch drove 34 of 35 races, winning at Bristol and finishing seventh in points. Justin Labonte drove for 1 race at Memphis.

Part Time (2007)

In 2007, Busch ran the No. 5 on a part-time basis, sharing the ride with Mark Martin, Landon Cassill, Casey Mears, and Adrián Fernández, running a total of 26 races.[18][21] The car carried a number of different sponsors including Lowe's, Delphi, Spectrum, and Hendrick Autoguard. Busch drove the car to victory lane four times in 2007, while Martin finished second twice in three races.

JR Motorsports (2008–2018)
See also: JR Motorsports

The No. 5 team moved to JR Motorsports in 2008,[23][18] and featured eight drivers, including Johnson and Earnhardt Jr., and four primary sponsors in its first year.[21][24] In 2009, the No. 5 car ran a part-time schedule due to sponsorship limitations.[18] Fastenal, Unilever and GoDaddy.com sponsored seven different drivers over the course of the season. A variety of drivers ran the car in subsequent NASCAR Xfinity Series seasons until it was shut down for the 2019 season.[25]

Car No. 17 history

edit
 
Alex Bowman in the No. 17 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2022
Part-time (2022–present)

On June 2, 2022, Hendrick Motorsports announced it would field the No. 17 in three Xfinity races in 2022, with Kyle Larson running at Road America, Alex Bowman at Indianapolis, and William Byron at Watkins Glen. This marked Hendrick Motorsports' return to the Xfinity Series after Tony Stewart won for the team at Daytona in 2009.[26] Larson dominated at Road America, but eventually lost to Ty Gibbs on the final lap.[27] Bowman ran the car at the Indianapolis road course, but it again finished second, this time to A. J. Allmendinger. At Watkins Glen, Byron fiercely battled Gibbs for the lead throughout most of the race until they both spun off-course during the final restart, resulting in Byron finishing 25th.[28] At the September Darlington race, Larson finished fifth after engaging in a three-car battle with Noah Gragson and Sheldon Creed over the closing laps. Larson attempted a pass on Creed for the lead on the final lap, only for both to be passed by race-winner Gragson.[29]

On March 8, 2023, Hendrick Motorsports announced that, for the second year in a row, it would field the No. 17 in four Xfinity races in 2023, with Byron running at Circuit of the Americas, Larson at Sonoma and Darlington, and Bowman at Watkins Glen.[30] On July 12, Hendrick Motorsports added a fifth race to their Xfinity schedule, with Elliott driving the No. 17 at Pocono.[31] On September 26, two further races were added to the No. 17 schedule, with Boris Said competing at the Charlotte Roval and Rajah Caruth competing in the season finale at Phoenix.[32]

For the 2024, a ten–race schedule was announced on February 27, 2024, with Cup Byron, Larson, Bowman and Chase Elliott all competing in at least one race, with Said also competing for the team at Sonoma.[33] The organization claimed their first win in the Xfinity Series since 2009 with Larson at the Circuit of the Americas after overtaking a dueling Shane van Gisbergen and Austin Hill on the final lap.[34] Elliott took the No. 17 to victory lane at Charlotte.[35]

Car No. 24 History

edit
 
Casey Mears' No. 24 National Guard Chevrolet at Homestead in 2007
JG Motorsports (1999–2000)

The No. 24 team started in 1999 with Gordon-Evernham Motorsports, owned by Jeff Gordon and crew chief Ray Evernham. Gordon and Ricky Hendrick combined to compete in 10 races.[36] In 2000, Rick Hendrick bought out Evernham's share, renaming the team JG Motorsports. Gordon and Ricky Hendrick once again shared the ride, with Hendrick running 15 events.[37] The team also formed an alliance with Cicci-Welliver Racing.[38]

Part Time (2001)

Hendrick Motorsports took full control of the team in 2001, with GMAC Financial Services sponsoring the No. 24 team in each of its three races. Ricky Hendrick drove in those 3 races.[39] In 2002, Hendrick moved to the No. 5 Busch Series car and three-time truck series champion Jack Sprague took over the No. 24 full-time.

Jack Sprague (2002)

Sprague ran the full 2002 season, bringing truck series sponsor NetZero with him.[40] He earned three poles and a win at Nashville en route to a fifth-place points finish. Sprague moved to Hendrick-affiliated Haas CNC Racing in 2003.

Part Time (2007)

In 2007, the No. 24 returned with Casey Mears and Landon Cassill as the drivers, with the National Guard providing sponsorship. After the 2007 season, the team shut down.

Truck No. 24 history

edit

The No. 24 truck debuted with the Truck Series in 1995 with Scott Lagasse driving and DuPont sponsoring. Lagasse posted two top-fives and finished ninth in the standings.

In 1996, Jack Sprague drove the No. 24 full-time with Quaker State sponsoring. He won five races and was second in the points. The following season, he won three times and clinched his first NASCAR championship.

The team lost the Quaker State sponsorship after 1997 but signed GMAC Financial as a sponsor after a one-race deal with Big Daddy's BBQ Sauce. He won an additional five races but lost the championship by three points. In 1999, Sprague won the championship again but fell to fifth in 2000. In 2001, NetZero came on board as the team's sponsor, and Sprague won his third championship. After Sprague moved his ride to the Busch Series, Ron Hornaday Jr. drove the No. 24 in a one-race deal at Daytona, finishing twelfth. The team closed after that race to focus on its Busch Series efforts.

Chase Elliott's No. 94 Aaron's Chevrolet at Rockingham in 2013

Hendrick Motorsports revived its truck program in 2013, fielding a part-time entry for Chase Elliott. The team was sponsored by Aaron's and ran nine races. The trucks were not built directly by Hendrick Motorsports, but were instead provided by Hendrick-affiliated Turner Scott Motorsports. However, the trucks were fielded directly by Hendrick, with crew chief Lance McGrew.[48] Elliott made his debut at Martinsville Speedway on April 6 and finished in the sixth position.[49] Elliott became the youngest pole winner in Truck Series history at the time at Bristol in August,[50] and later the youngest race winner in the Truck Series at the time by winning the inaugural Chevrolet Silverado 250 at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park.[51] Elliott departed the No. 94 to join JR Motorsports in the Nationwide Series in 2014.[52]

Chase Elliott's No. 9 Aaron's Chevrolet at Road America in 2013

In 2012, Hendrick began fielding the No. 9 Chevrolet for development driver Chase Elliott, with father Bill Elliott as the listed owner and sponsorship from the Aaron's Company. Longtime Hendrick Motorsports crew chief Lance McGrew served as the team's crew chief. Elliott made his debut at age 16 at Mobile International Speedway, scoring a pole and six top tens in six races.[60][61]

Elliott returned to the team in 2013, scoring his first career win at Pocono Raceway. Elliott, at age 17, became the youngest superspeedway winner in ARCA Racing Series history, beating fellow 17-year-old Erik Jones.[62][63] Elliott scored four top tens, including the win at Pocono, in five races in 2013.[64]

Elliott ran the 2014 ARCA season opener at Daytona, in order to gain NASCAR approval to run the Nationwide Series race the next week. Sponsored by HendrickCars.com and NAPA Brakes, Elliott was involved in a 15-car crash on the 13th lap. In spite of that, Elliott finished 9th, and NASCAR approved him to run on superspeedways; he would go on to win the Nationwide Series Championship.[65]

24 Hours of Le Mans

edit

In 2023, Hendrick Motorsports entered the 24 Hours of Le Mans, working with NASCAR, Chevrolet, Goodyear, and IMSA to field a modified version of the Camaro Cup car in the experimental Garage 56 category. The Camaro ZL1 was 'largely unchanged' from the Cup Series car. Modifications included real headlights and taillights, a larger fuel tank, uprated carbon ceramic brakes, as well as new tyres developed by Goodyear.[74]

 
The No. 24 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 at the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans

The car, bearing long-time Hendrick Motorsports number 24, was driven by long-time Hendrick driver Jimmie Johnson, 2010 Le Mans winner Mike Rockenfeller, and 2009 Formula 1 World Champion Jenson Button. The car ultimately finished 39th out of 62 total competitors, and outperformed entries in the GTE Am class, the car's closest equivalents.[75]

The car was later featured in the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Plane crash

edit
Main article: 2004 Hendrick Motorsports aircraft crash
 
Brian Vickers' No. 25 Ditech/GMAC Chevrolet, which pays tribute to the ten people killed in an October 2004 plane crash

On October 24, 2004, ten people associated with Hendrick Motorsports lost their lives in a plane crash while en route from Concord, North Carolina, to a small airport near the Martinsville Speedway. The plane crashed in heavy fog into Bull Mountain, seven miles (11 km) from the Blue Ridge Airport in Stuart, Virginia, after a failed attempt to land.[76] Ten people aboard the Beechcraft King Air 200 died. Six were Hendrick family members and/or Hendrick Motorsports employees: John Hendrick, the owner's brother and president of Hendrick Motorsports; Jeff Turner, general manager of Hendrick Motorsports; Ricky Hendrick, a Hendrick Motorsports driver and its owner's son; Kimberly and Jennifer Hendrick, John Hendrick's twin daughters; and Randy Dorton, chief engine builder. Also dead were the plane's pilots, Richard Tracy and Elizabeth Morrison, Joe Jackson, director of the DuPont Motorsports program,[77] and Scott Lathram, who worked for Joe Gibbs Racing as a helicopter pilot.[78]

NASCAR officials learned of the crash during that day's Subway 500 race in Martinsville, Virginia; they withheld the information from drivers until the end of the race, which was won by Hendrick driver Jimmie Johnson. For the rest of the 2004 season, all Hendrick Motorsports cars and the No. 0 Haas CNC Racing car featured pictures of the crash victims on the hood, accompanied by the phrase "Always in our hearts".
