Henderson Motorsports returns to racing after owner’s passing
ABINGDON, Va. (WCYB) — Henderson Motorsports is making an emotional return to the track this weekend, marking their first race since the passing of their longtime owner, Charlie Henderson.

Charlie Henderson, an Abingdon native and legendary figure in the NASCAR Truck and Xfinity Series, passed away earlier this year at the age of 82. His legacy in the sport spanned decades, and he was more than just an owner to the team; he was a mentor, a friend, and the heart of Henderson Motorsports.
With Charlie Henderson’s memory in their hearts and his name emblazoned on their truck, the team is determined to carry on his legacy, racing forward one lap at a time.
