Kyle Larson's journey at Hendrick Motorsports has been marked by unprecedented success since joining the team in 2021. As he enters his fifth season with the No. 5 Chevrolet team, his impact on NASCAR continues to grow.

Since joining Hendrick Motorsports, Larson's achievements include:

• 23 wins in four seasons
• 2021 Cup Series Championship
• 10 wins in his debut season (2021)
• Most race wins in Cup Series since 2021
• Leading statistics in multiple categories

This success stands in stark contrast to his time at Ganassi Racing, where he secured 6 wins in six years. At Hendrick, Larson has already surpassed his previous records in wins, championships, Championship 4 appearances, and poles in just 143 races compared to his 219 races with Ganassi.

The 32-year-old driver's 2024 season showcased his continued dominance:

• Led the series with 6 victories
• Maintained a 12.9 average finish (third-best overall)
• Demonstrated consistent speed and competitiveness

Larson credits Hendrick Motorsports' excellence and leadership, particularly mentioning Rick Hendrick and Jeff Gordon as influential figures. While acknowledging his growth at Ganassi Racing, he expresses enthusiasm about his future with Hendrick, aiming for more championships and victories.

"It's nice to show up to the racetrack pretty much every week and know you've got a shot to win," Larson reflects, highlighting the team's consistent competitiveness and his evolution as a driver. His success extends beyond NASCAR, including achievements in dirt racing and generating interest in the Indianapolis 500.

As Larson continues his career with Hendrick Motorsports, his trajectory suggests continued dominance in NASCAR's top division, with potential for even greater achievements in the years ahead.
