Rick Hendrick says he has no deal to bring IndyCar superstar Danica Patrick to NASCAR, and there's no certainty she'll even be driving stock cars next season. Patrick is reportedly in the final stages of a contract that would partner her on a limited Nationwide Series schedule with JR Motorsports. He co-owns that team with Dale Earnhardt Jr. Speaking before Sunday's race at Phoenix International Raceway, Hendrick said Patrick and her representatives have yet to even decide if she'll try NASCAR in 2010 or wait another year. He also says IndyCar is still Patrick's first priority, and existing contracts she has in that series ... Read Full Story

Lance McGrew had the interim tag removed from his crew chief title Friday when Hendrick Motorsports said he'll stay with Dale Earnhardt Jr. next season. McGrew replaced Tony Eury Jr. in late May in an effort to save Earnhardt's sinking season. Team owner Rick Hendrick used the rest of the year to evaluate the No. 88 team, and decided McGrew is the best fit for the long-term direction of NASCAR's most popular driver. "I have total faith in Lance and what he's capable of accomplishing with Dale Jr.," Hendrick said. "There was a lot of pressure with how he came into this deal, and ... Read Full Story

Nobody is trying to sugarcoat the trainwreck that is Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s season. He knows it's bad. His car owner knows it's bad. All of NASCAR knows it's bad. Only nobody knows how to fix it. And as the most prolific pairing in NASCAR history teeters on the brink of disaster, car owner Rick Hendrick is in a race to figure out what to do with his No. 88 team before Earnhardt loses what's left of his crumbling confidence. "I'm as frustrated as those guys are," Hendrick said of Earnhardt's team. "But I can tell you this ... I'm as committed as I know ... Read Full Story

Dale Earnhardt Jr. hit rock bottom during his last trip to Lowe's Motor Speedway. He struggled with his car, feuded with his crew chief and finished a season-low 40th in one of the most embarrassing weekends of his career. Team owner Rick Hendrick fired crew chief Tony Eury Jr. three days after that May debacle, and things were supposed to turn around with some fresh leadership at Earnhardt's No. 88 team. It hasn't happened. Little has changed, at least in terms of results, in the four-plus months since. Back at LMS for Saturday night's race, Earnhardt is slogging through a 51-race winless streak dating ... Read Full Story

The cars of championship leaders Mark Martin and Jimmie Johnson have passed a second NASCAR inspection. NASCAR inspected both the Hendrick Motorsports-owned cars after Sunday's race in Kansas for a thorough inspection after the Chevrolets squeaked through a week earlier. The teams were warned they had nearly failed and were to not bring the cars to the track again. Team owner Rick Hendrick said he had no problem if NASCAR inspected his cars every week. The sanctioning body took him up on the offer when series officials took the cars back to its research and development center. NASCAR also examined the car of race ... Read Full Story

Truck #17 history

The 17 Craftsman Truck Series team made its debut in 2000 with Ricky Hendrick driving with GMAC/Quaker State sponsorship. He made six races that season and finished in the top-ten four times. In 2001, Hendrick won his only career Truck race at Kansas Speedway and finished sixth in points, runner-up to Travis Kvapil for Rookie of the Year honors. The team did not run after 2001.





Truck #24 history

The 24 truck debuted with the Truck Series in 1995 with Scott Lagasse driving and DuPont sponsoring. Lagasse posted two top-fives and finished ninth in the standings. The team also fielded the 25 Budweiser Chevrolet part-time with Hendrick Sr. and Roger Mears driving. Midway through the season, Jack Sprague came on board to finish out the season for the team, winning a pole at Phoenix International Raceway. In 1996, he moved to the 24 full-time with Quaker State sponsoring. He won five races and was second in the points. The following season, he won three times and clinched his first NASCAR championship.

The team lost the Quaker State sponsorship after 1997, but signed GMAC Financial as a sponsor after a one-race deal with Big Daddy's BBQ Sauce. He won an additional five races, but lost the championship by three points. In 1999, Sprague won the championship again but fell to fifth in 2000. In 2001, NetZero came on board as the team's sponsor, and Sprague won his third championship. After Sprague moved to the Busch Series, Ron Hornaday drove the 24 in a one-race deal at Daytona, finishing twelfth. The team closed after that race to focus on its Busch Series efforts.

On October 24, 2004, ten people associated with Hendrick Motorsports lost their lives in a plane crash while en route from Concord North Carolina, to a small airport near the Martinsville Speedway. The plane crashed in heavy fog into Bull Mountain, seven miles from the Blue Ridge Regional Airport in Spencer, Virginia. While NASCAR officials learned of the crash during that day's Subway 500 race in Martinsville, they withheld that information from drivers until the end of the race. Hendrick driver Jimmie Johnson won the race.

All ten aboard the Beechcraft King Air 200 died:

    * John Hendrick, president of Hendrick Motorsports; Rick Hendrick's brother
    * Ricky Hendrick, Rick Hendrick's son
    * Kimberly and Jennifer Hendrick, John Hendrick's twin daughters
    * Jeff Turner, general manager of Hendrick Motorsports
    * Randy Dorton, chief engine builder
    * Joe Jackson, DuPont executive
    * Scott Lathram, pilot for NASCAR driver Tony Stewart
    * pilots Richard Tracy and Elizabeth Morrison

For the balance of the 2004 season, all of the Hendrick Motorsports cars and the #0 Haas CNC Racing car showed pictures of the ten Hendrick members on the hood.
