It is needless to say Hendrick Motorsports has the most decorated team in NASCAR right now. Comprising eminent drivers like Chase Elliott, Kyle Larson, William Byron, and Alex Bowman, they wreaked havoc with all guns blazing last season. Breaking their incredible performance into statistics, we got a total of 10 race wins from their end, contributing to the top 5 finishes.

However, even after being the winningest team with such exceptional performance, Mr. H and his opinions do not align with the reigning next-gen cars. Recently, Rick Hendrick opened up and expressed his opinions about this subject and the Camaro ZL1 cars.

The next-gen cars did reset the table, feels Rick Hendrick

On NASCAR Live, Rick Hendrick was found discussing various aspects of racing and his team. While generally discussing the culture at the Hendrick camp, he expressed his thoughts on the next-generation cars. While Rick Hendrick seemed humble about their triumph last year, he describes how not every time things might not turn out in their favor, he’s aware of it.

He said, “I think what I’ve seen with our organization had their working together, and sharing information, and the competition’s fierce out there. I think Ford’s got a new car, Toyota’s got a new car, we have to see downforce and drag on the intermediate tracks and how that’s gonna play up. So we just gotta keep our heads out and do our job and just keep working hard. But I do see the tables have kind of reset when they went to the next-gen cars.”

Rick Hendrick further went on to explain the competition that is on a constant rise, with able competitors like Ford and Toyota building great technology for next-gen cars as well. It is for sure that NASCAR was revolutionized to a great extent when these models of the future were brought into the picture.
