Recently, another puzzle piece depicting the 2022 Cup Series grid fell into place. As it turns out, Hendrick Motorsports and Kyle Larson will continue their association until the 2023 season. In addition to that, the outfit is going to sponsor Larson in non-NASCAR events as well. This will be a godsend because the California native is a huge dirt racing aficionado.

“When we perform on the track on Sunday, we can feel the impact on Monday,” said team owner Rick Hendrick.

“With the chance to plan for the next two years, the program is only going to help Hendrick Automotive Group sell more cars, book more service appointments and ultimately do more business. It will also allow our company to recruit talented people and support our internal recognition and incentive programs. The more we followed the data, the easier the decision became. We are seeing clear results.”
