If the word dominance is to be associated with any NASCAR team, it has to be Hendrick Motorsports. 2024 will see Rick Hendrick’s esteemed organization complete 40 years, and in that time, it has won countless honors. The team has built a legacy that any other organization would struggle to challenge. To honor that legacy, Rick Hendrick and the team have revealed a new logo, commemorating the completion of four decades of their existence.

Today, the team is home to some of NASCAR’s most potential drivers, including Chase Elliott, Kyle Larson, Alex Bowman, and William Byron. The last season, however, was a bit disappointing for the team, as only two of its potential champions were in the playoffs. In other words, this just shows the level of expectations the drivers have to live up to every year in the HMS camp. However, on their 40th anniversary, Rick Hendrick would want nothing more than to see one of his four drivers win the Cup Series.

40 years ago, in 1984, Rick Hendrick was no more than a man with a dream. He had only just put pen to paper on venturing into NASCAR with a team of his own. After everything was made official, members of the nascent Hendrick Motorsports wanted to run a test car. That car was none other than the iconic #5 car. In a lot of ways, it was the first ever HMS car.
