1984 ALL-STAR RACING/MONTE CARLO
Rick Hendrick started All-Star Racing in 1984. The organization began in 5,000 feet of space rented from crew chief Harry Hyde.
This is one of the first cars fielded by Hendrick’s first race team. Hendrick hired Geoff Bodine to pilot the car, but didn’t get a sponsor immediately and was concerned All-Star racing wouldn’t make it through their first year. Finally, the team had a paying sponsor aboard, Northwestern Security Life, and the company wrote Hendrick a check for $5,000.
In Bodine’s 69th NASCAR Winston Cup Series start, he earned his first victory at Martinsville Speedway after starting from the sixth position. Bodine and All-Star Racing claimed three pole positions and three victories in their rookie season. In addition to the victory at Martinsville Speedway, the All-Star Racing team visited Victory Lane at Riverside International Raceway and Nashville International Raceway and finished ninth in the Winston Cup Series points standings in 1984.
In 1985, All-Star Racing became what is now known as Hendrick Motorsports.
