CONCORD, N.C. - Hendrick Motorsports has had more than its fair share of success at Martinsville Speedway.
William Byron's win on Saturday night added a 27th win to the victory tally for the organization at the Virginia short track - the most ever by a team at a track. With Chase Elliott's laps led early in stage one, the team exceeded 10,000 laps led at the .526-mile track and became the first team to do so at a single track.
