Hendrick Motorsports is one of the most decorated organizations in all of NASCAR. After all, its 315 wins and 14 Cup Series championships are the most all-time in NASCAR’s premier series.
Hall of Fame drivers like Mark Martin, Darrell Waltrip, Ricky Rudd, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Terry Labonte, Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon have all won multiple races with the organization and experienced tremendous success.
While the organization has visited victory lane at numerous tracks on the schedule and won 14 times at Talladega — the most in Cup Series history by an organization at the track — its collective body of work has not been great there.
HMS may not have won Sunday’s Jack Link’s 500, but each of its drivers were in position. Kyle Larson (second), William Byron (third), Chase Elliott (fifth) and Alex Bowman (seventh) each came away with top-10 efforts.
According to Fox Sports’ Bob Pockrass, that is the first time all four HMS drivers finished in the top 10 at Talladega since 2011, which was the only other time it has happened in the team’s storied history.
