Welcome to the Champions Club!

Dear Friends, As many of you know, 2004 marks a very special occasion for us here at Hendrick Motorsports – our 20th anniversary. It’s hard for me to believe that we’ve already been racing for more than two decades. In 1984, we started racing because we loved the sport and the competition, but we faced the same challenges as other fledgling teams. As a first-year operation, there was no sponsorship and no guarantees that we would ever make a single race that season. There were times when I wasn’t sure if we’d make it. But with the support of our family, friends and fans, we were able to turn the corner and build a successful team. Hendrick Motorsports certainly wouldn’t be here without you, the fans – there’s absolutely no doubt about that. Now in our 21st season, it seemed fitting that we do something special for the folks that have followed us and offered encouragement throughout the years. With that in mind, we came up with the “Champions Club” on our web site, HendrickMotorsports.com. The club offers a number of unique features that can only be accessed by members. We’ve included unique multimedia, special offers on merchandise, and access to information that you can’t find anywhere else – all free of charge. One of those features is the Champions Club Newsletter, which we hope you’ll enjoy. It’s another way to offer exclusive content to you, our dedicated fans. Once again, we thank you for the two decades of support and for the winning tradition that you’ve so graciously helped us build. We will continue to do our best to keep it going another 20 years. Sincerely, Rick Hendrick
