CONCORD, N.C. - In the week leading up to the NASCAR Cup Series championship race at Phoenix Raceway last Sunday, Hendrick Motorsports vice chairman, Jeff Gordon, told the media that 2024 had already been an unforgettable season for the organization. 

To his point, by nearly every statistical measure, it was another banner year with each of the company's four drivers getting a taste for success. 

Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott, William Byron and Alex Bowman each won at least won race, combining to claim 11 checkered flags, and each finished in the top nine in the final points standings led by Byron in third. Together, the group has now run 35 full-time seasons at the NASCAR Cup Series level.
