It may have taken Hendrick Motorsports a few years to visit victory lane at Homestead-Miami Speedway, but the organization has made up for lost time. 


With William Byron claiming a win at the 1.5-mile oval in 2021 and Kyle Larson following it up by prevailing in 2022, Hendrick Motorsports has claimed two of the last three events in southern Florida. 


Vice chairman and NASCAR Hall of Famer, Jeff Gordon, delivered the organization its first win at Homestead-Miami with Jimmie Johnson registering his record-tying seventh championship there in 2016, giving Hendrick Motorsports four wins since the track opened in 1999. 


Larson leads all active drivers with 625 laps led at Homestead and Chase Elliott is second in career average finish at 10.4. 


Here's a look at how the current Hendrick Motorsports roster measures up at Homestead-Miami as well as a quick look at the company's history.
