Since 1994, Hendrick Motorsports has fielded a lineup that includes at least one former champion in its stable. As a whole, the company has 13 Cup titles the latest of which came from Chase Elliott in 2020. (That’s seven for Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon with four and Elliott joining Terry Labonte with one apiece).
Championships are simply a part of the Hendrick DNA.
In recent years, the four-car team has had an infusion of youth into its garage with the retirements of Hall of Famers or soon-to-be Hall of Famers in Gordon, Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr., while seeing Elliott, Alex Bowman, William Byron and Kyle Larson join its ranks. The team now boasts a lineup with four drivers who are 28 or younger.

TULSA, Okla. -
Age is but a number in the sport of racing, and 16-year-old Locust Grove native Daison Pursley is showing just that.
In his rookie season, he finished fifth in the POWRi Nationals and went gunning for more at this week s Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals.
From watching last year s champ Kyle Larson as a fan, a young 6-year-old Pursley had one goal growing up: to race in the Chili Bowl. That dream has become a reality, but Pursley is also making his mark in the dirt. That s just the way everyone talks about this building how crazy it is and what it can do to you. Finally coming in here as a driver was pretty special, and I definitely had a lot of jitters for sure, Pursley said.
