Hendrick Motorsports is an American professional auto racing organization that competes in the NASCAR Cup Series. The team was founded in 1984 as All-Star Racing by Rick Hendrick. Hendrick Motorsports has won a NASCAR-record 312 Cup Series races and 14 Cup Series owners and drivers championships to go with three Truck Series owners and drivers titles and one Xfinity Series drivers crown. Additionally, the team has 28 Xfinity Series race wins, 26 Truck Series race wins, and seven ARCA Menards Series race wins. [1]
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.
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.
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.
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]
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]
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.
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.
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.
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]
Hendrick Motorsports began competing in the 1984 debut season of the Busch Series, fielding the No. 15 car for 17 races with sponsorship coming from Levi Garrett, with Cup Series driver Geoff Bodine running 12 of them. Bodine would score Hendrick Motorsports' first win in the Busch Series at Rockingham Speedway. Ron Bouchard, Dick Trickle, Glenn Jarrett all ran one race, while Tim Richmond ran one. In 1985, Brett Bodine ran one race in the No. 15 car. Geoff Bodine also ran one race in the No. 15. Tim Richmond ran two races in the No. 15, winning once at Charlotte. In 1986, the team ran seven races, three with Bodine and Richmond, and one with Rob Moroso. Richmond would get the team's only win of the year at Charlotte. In 1987, the team ran nine races utilizing the No. 15. Eight of them were driven by Geoff Bodine, and one with team owner Rick Hendrick. While Hendrick would DNF in his start, Bodine would once again win the season opener at Daytona. The team ran eight races as the No. 15 in 1988 with Geoff Bodine being the only driver. Bodine would win once at Darlington Raceway. In 1989, the team would only run five races, with Geoff Bodine and Ken Schrader driving. While Schrader would DNF his two starts, Bodine would once again get a single win at Darlington. In 1990, Greg Sacks drove the No. 15 once at Charlotte, He finished 2nd. After the 1990 season, Hendrick Motorsports shut down its Busch Series operation for the time being.
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]

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]

[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.
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.
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.
