HendrickCars.com will once again provide primary sponsorship on the No. 17 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro, who will enter 10 NASCAR Xfinity Series races in 2024. Each of Hendrick Motorsports four NASCAR Cup Series drivers will compete, along with a special appearance from popular road racing veteran Boris Said, who is also a partner at Hendrick Automotive Group-operated BMW of Murrieta (California).
Kicking off the schedule March 9 at Phoenix Raceway will be 2024 Daytona 500 champion William Byron, who will pair for four races with crew chief Brandon McSwain, lead engineer on the No. 24 Cup Series team. The remaining six races will be called by 2014 Xfinity Series champion crew chief Greg Ives, who has 15 NASCAR national series wins.
As part of the schedule, HendrickCars.com Cup Series driver Kyle Larson will compete at Circuit of the Americas (Austin) March 23 and at the Chicago Street Race, July 6.
“The No. 17 is a big part of our story, and it would be special to see it win – and win often – during our 40th anniversary season,” said Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports and chairman and CEO of Hendrick Automotive Group. “The sponsorship has been a big success for HendrickCars.com and our dealerships, and we’re pleased to add more races and take it to another level in 2024. It’s victory lane or bust.”
The No. 17 HendrickCars.com team made four Xfinity Series starts in 2022 and six in 2023. In 10 combined appearances, it has accumulated three pole positions, six top-five finishes and seven top-10s, including three second-place results.
Hendrick Motorsports has a rich history with the No. 17. NASCAR Hall of Famer and Hendrick Automotive Group retail partner Darrell Waltrip drove it to nine wins for the team from 1987 to 1990, highlighted by his 1989 DAYTONA 500 triumph. The car number was also driven by Ricky Hendrick in various races, including in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series in 2000 and 2001. The HendrickCars.com paint scheme will again be based on the No. 17 truck driven by Hendrick during his 2001 rookie season.
HendrickCars.com is Hendrick Automotive Group’s online destination for new and pre-owned vehicle shopping, locating centers for service and collision repair, exploring career opportunities, and learning about vehicle investment protection. It also sponsors Kyle Larson’s No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports team, NHRA Pro Stock champion Greg Anderson and other racing efforts at the grassroots level.
