Hendrick Motorsports<\/a> has been the premier organization in the NASCAR<\/a> Cup Series to begin the 2023 season, but it could take its success to even another level across the next month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n HMS drivers have won four of the seven non-superspeedway-style races to open the season. William Byron<\/a> won back-to-back races in March at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Phoenix Raceway by edging teammate Kyle Larson<\/a> in the final laps of both events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Larson then got his first win of the season in the first race of April at Richmond Raceway and followed up two weeks later with a victory at Martinsville Speedway. Alex Bowman, meanwhile, led the points standings for three weeks after the Phoenix race until NASCAR issued him and Byron 60-point penalties for improper modifications to the center portion of the Nos. 48 and 24 machines. Bowman would be just one point behind Christopher Bell for the points lead if not for the penalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
