The red color coat marks HMS’s ruby anniversary in NASCAR. The team secured its first win in its 8th race ever at Martinsville back in 1984. To commemorate the same, all four Cup Series cars from the team will be coated in the same ruby-red paint at the 2024 Martinsville race on April 7.
“We are just getting started”: Rick Hendrick boosts team morale at Daytona
Unveiling the team’s plans for the year, owner Rick Hendrick addressed the press and his employees worldwide. He said, “When I think back on our story, I have a hard time believing it myself. In 1984, we had five employees, 5,000 square feet of rented space, and a lot of desire to make it work. I dreamed of one day winning a race, but I never imagined it would grow into what it is now.”
Thanking his supporters for the belief they had over the last four decades he concluded, “It’s been an incredible ride, and we’re just getting started.” Hendrick Motorsports is today the most successful venture in the NASCAR Cup Series with a historical record of 301 victories and 14 championships. The team finds its name atop every major statistical figure including top-five finishes, top-ten finishes, and pole positions.
