Hendrick Motorsports’ All-Time Winners: Legends Who Built NASCAR’s Greatest Team
Hendrick Motorsports isn’t just a NASCAR team — it’s a dynasty. Since its debut in 1984, the team has redefined excellence, producing champions, record-breakers, and unforgettable moments. With a focus on elite talent and cutting-edge engineering, Hendrick has become the most successful organization in NASCAR Cup Series history. At the heart of that success are the drivers who delivered the wins.
Topping the list is Jeff Gordon, the face of NASCAR’s 1990s boom. Gordon won 93 races for Hendrick between 1992 and 2015, capturing four championships and becoming one of the sport’s most iconic figures. His aggressive driving and polished image helped take NASCAR mainstream, and his long-term loyalty to Hendrick laid the foundation for future success.
Right behind him is Jimmie Johnson, who racked up 83 wins and a staggering seven Cup titles, including an unprecedented five in a row from 2006 to 2010. Calm, consistent, and ruthlessly efficient, Johnson’s dominance made Hendrick the team to beat for more than a decade.
Chase Elliott, the son of Hall of Famer Bill Elliott, carries the torch today. With 19 wins and counting, he delivered Hendrick its 13th championship in 2020, becoming the face of the sport’s new era. Loved by fans for his down-to-earth persona and fierce racing style, Elliott continues to build his legacy.
Kyle Larson, one of the most naturally gifted drivers in recent memory, joined Hendrick in 2021 and made an immediate impact. His 17 wins with the team — including 10 in his first season — were capped off by a dominant run to the 2021 championship, proving Hendrick’s eye for talent is as sharp as ever.
Veterans like Terry Labonte (12 wins) and Darrell Waltrip (9 wins) also made their mark in Hendrick colors, adding depth to the team’s legacy in earlier decades.
In 2021, Hendrick Motorsports surpassed Petty Enterprises to become the winningest team in NASCAR history — a milestone sealed by a Kyle Larson victory in the Coca-Cola 600. With more than 300 Cup Series wins, the team continues to push the limits.
From Gordon to Johnson, Elliott to Larson, Hendrick Motorsports isn’t just a team. It’s a proving ground for greatness — and its story is far from over.
