CONCORD, N.C. - Hendrick Motorsports will head to Homestead-Miami Speedway for the middle race in the Round of 8 of the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs.
The team has won four times at the 1.5-mile track, including the last two Cup events. Kyle Larson won last year's race to earn the No. 5 team a spot in the Championship 4 for the owner's title. In 2021, just three races into their pairing at the Cup level, William Byron and Rudy Fugle scored the victory at this venue.
Larson is locked into the Championship 4 in the driver and owner playoffs. Byron is fighting to advance in the driver playoffs, while the Nos. 9 and 24 teams are in the hunt for the owner championship.
