Hendrick Motorsports, 40 NASCAR wins in 40 days: Which victories made our list?

CONCORD, N.C. - As the unveiling of our list of 40 NASCAR wins in 40 days, finishing off the celebration of 40 years of Hendrick Motorsports, we are putting all of our stories and galleries in one, convenient place for fans to relive history. 

Since late November, we've released a new story per day, along with several corresponding photo galleries highlighting some of the greatest victories in our organization's history complete with fresh perspective from drivers, crew chiefs and the people behind the scenes. That include new interviews with Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Mark Martin, Kasey Kahne, Terry Labonte, Darrell Waltrip, Chad Knaus, Ray Everham, Alan Gustafson, Cliff Daniels, Larry McReynolds, Steve Letarte and many more. 

The list was created with the votes of several Hendrick Motorsports employees as well as input from representatives of the NASCAR Hall of Fame and Racing Insights. All unanimous selections were ushered in automatically while a small panel helped finalize the rest of the list. 

A new victory will be unveiled every day in no particular order through New Year's Eve. Check in at HendrickMotorsports.com each day to see which wins make the list. As each story is unveiled, it will be added to this page as well.
