NASCAR driver averages: Chase Elliott leads Hendrick Motorsports into Talladega

CONCORD, N.C. - The biggest, baddest, fastest track of them all awaits the NASCAR Cup Series this weekend. 

And throughout the sport's history, no organization has risen to the immense challenge at Talladega Superspeedway more often than Hendrick Motorsports. Led by vice chairman Jeff Gordon's six victories at the 2.66-mile tri-oval, the organization leads the Cup Series in wins (14), poles (13), top-five finishes (67), top 10s (103) and laps led (3,091). 

Chase Elliott leads the team's current roster of drivers with a pair of victories in Alabama, and his 215 laps led are also the most. William Byron, meanwhile, boasts the best average finish in the Next Gen era (7.7) and his career mark of 14.4 is tops among active drivers with at least five starts. 

Alex Bowman finished fifth in this event a year ago while Kyle Larson turned in a fourth-place showing in the fall race. 

Here's a look at how all four stack up at Talladega as well as a quick brush up on Hendrick Motorsports history:
