Over the weekend, Rick Hendrick and Hendrick Motor Sports notched career win number 300. Hendrick has seen a great deal of success over the years, Hendrick has earned victories with 20 different drivers with Jeff Gordon and Mimmie Johnson leading the way for nearly 200 of those wins.
The first win came in 1987 with Geoff Bodine behind the wheel of the number five car in what Hendrick saw as his last chance to make it in NASCAR as a car owner…and the rest they say is history.
Along with the 300 race wins, HMS has also notched a total of 41 non-points races – Busch Clash, Duel races, and All Star races. And nearly another 100 wins in the Xfinity, Craftsman Truck, and ARCA Series.
