Rick Hendrick believes in setting goals because chasing that dangling carrot has proved to be an effective motivator for NASCAR’s winningest team.
He was three wins late: the engine shop picked up its 500th win when Larson won the Southern 500 at Darlington.
Hendrick has won Cup races with 20 different drivers – six are already Hall of Famers – and collected a record 14 Cup titles along the way. Jeff Gordon, who leads all Hendrick drivers with 93 victories and is now vice chairman of the organization, noted that Hendrick has taken time lately to reflect on his own Hall of Fame career. The team is looking forward to next year’s 40th anniversary of Hendrick Motorsports.
“We found one other person on campus that was here, they went to work like the day after Bodine won at Martinsville. So he’s at 299,” Gordon said. “Now that we’ve started gathering more and talking about it more and celebrating, we say ‘What’s your number? When did you come to work here? What was your first win?’ And it’s really cool because it because it tells you when people came to work here and how quickly numbers added up.
