NASCAR hall of famer Rick Hendrick is an ultra-successful businessman in the automotive world. But what he’s known for in sports circles is a NASCAR dynasty that is celebrating its 40th year in existence of 2024 and ranks as the winningest team in Cup Series history. Hendrick’s 14 Cup series season titles have come with five different drivers: Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Terry Labonte, Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson.
Hendrick is also a leukemia survivor and has overcome a number of personal tragedies, including a plane crash that devastated both his NASCAR operation and his family 20 years ago. At age 75, he remains in charge of both Hendrick Automotive Group - which employs almost 11,000 people - and the Hendrick Motorsports racing operation, which is in contention for another championship in 2024.
