NASCAR<\/a> Hall of Famer Rick Hendrick is best known for being the owner of Hendrick Motorsports<\/a>, which is on the cusp of becoming the all-time winningest team in Cup Series history. Since the creation of the team in 1984, Hendrick has had some of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history behind the wheel of his vehicles, most notably Jeff Gordon<\/a> and Jimmie Johnson, who won 176 Cup Series races between them and combined to win 11 points championships for HMS. In total, Hendrick's drivers have won 268 races in the Cup Series, currently tied for the most in history with Richard Petty<\/a> Enterprises. Across the Cup Series, Xfinity Series, and Truck Series, nearly 5,000 starts have been made by Hendrick Motorsports drivers, which is quite an accomplishment in itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But did you know four of those starts were by Rick Hendrick himself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
