CONCORD, N.C. - Sure, Talladega Superspeedway, the venue for the second race in the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs Round of 12, is often the setting for chaos and calamity. 

But it can also be home to success and victory. That's often been the case for Hendrick Motorsports. 

No organization in Cup Series history has more wins (14), poles (13), top-five finishes (65), top 10s (101) or laps led (3,087) at the 2.66-mile behemoth than Hendrick Motorsports. 

Among active drivers, Chase Elliott has been the best at Talladega with his career average finish of 13.7 leading racers who've run at least six times at NASCAR's biggest, widest drafting track. He's also taken the checkered flag twice there, most recently in the fall of 2022.
