Hendrick Motorsports changed the game for Kyle Larson by giving him a second chance—and a championship-caliber platform to prove himself. After his suspension and release from Chip Ganassi Racing in 2020, many thought his NASCAR future was uncertain. But Rick Hendrick saw his raw talent and signed him to drive the No. 5 car in 2021. The result? Larson dominated the season with 10 wins and secured the NASCAR Cup Series championship in his first year with Hendrick.
The team gave him elite equipment, top-tier engineering, and the support system he needed to thrive. Beyond the track, Hendrick also helped Larson grow personally, supporting his efforts in diversity outreach and community work. The partnership revitalized his career, turning him into not just a great driver, but one of the defining stars of a generation.
Hendrick didn’t just hire Larson—they helped him rebuild and ascend.
