Ten wins for Hendrick Motorsports at Talladega
Jeff Gordon's first race for Hendrick Motorsports was on November 15, 1992. He started to compete full time in 1993 and has been with Rick Hendrick ever since.
Dale Jr. drove for Dale Earnhardt Inc. (DEI) from 1999-2007. In 2008, Junior started driving for Hendrick Motorsports.
Dale Jr. wanted to keep the #8 when he made his move to Hendrick Motorsports in 2008, but his former team owner wouldn't allow it. Junior originally drove for Dale Earnhardt Inc. (DEI), who was owned by Junior's stepmother Teresa Earnhardt. She refused to release the #8, so Junior chose #88.
Restrictor plates debuted in August 1970 at Michigan International Speedway and were used for all tracks. They were phased out in 1974 as teams went to smaller engines but returned in 1988 for Daytona and Talladega after speeds overtook ability to keep the cars on the ground.
He wasn't allowed much in the form of decision making at DEI, and he had a close friendship with Hendrick and his late Son, It was the obvious move. I to am happy he did. Answer Because he's a smart guy. Let's face it Hendrick's got it figured out. Gordon and Johnson are great drivers, (especially Gordon), and Hendrick's domination in the last 10 years is unquestionable. Also, the Hendrick team has figured out the Car of Tomorrow, and have won nearly all those races this year. Junior wants to drive for a winner. And you can writhe and Nash your teeth all you want, but this is a winning team. At last, Gordon and Junior are teammates. Yeah. I like it. What do you think all the hillbillies with summer teeth are going to think of their boy Junior now? Their faith in the system must be really in doubt. It's a great move for Hendrick, it's a great move for Junior, and now we'll have a product in the Hendrick team with him replacing Kyle Bush, that isn't so unpredictable. Yeah, Jeff and Junior. What a team.
Jeff Gordon was noticed by Rick Hendrick, who put him in the #24 DuPont Chevy and the rest is history!
