HMS To Run 10-Race Slate In Xfinity Series

Hendrick Motorsports is set to contest 10 races in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, with all 10 entries backed by HendrickCars.com. 

Each of Hendrick Motorsports’ four NASCAR Cup Series drivers will compete, along with a special appearance from popular road racing veteran Boris Said at California’s Sonoma Raceway. 

Kicking off the schedule March 9 at Phoenix Raceway will be this year’s Daytona 500 winner William Byron, who will pair for four races with crew chief Brandon McSwain, lead engineer on the No. 24 Cup Series team. The remaining six races will be called by 2014 Xfinity Series champion crew chief Greg Ives, who has 15 NASCAR national series wins.

As part of the schedule, HendrickCars.com Cup Series driver Kyle Larson will compete at Circuit of the Americas (Texas) March 23 and at the Chicago Street Race on July 6.

Alex Bowman will pilot the Chevrolet at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. 

“The No. 17 is a big part of our story, and it would be special to see it win – and win often – during our 40th anniversary season,” said Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports and chairman and CEO of Hendrick Automotive Group. “The sponsorship has been a big success for HendrickCars.com and our dealerships, and we’re pleased to add more races and take it to another level in 2024. It’s victory lane or bust.”

The No. 17 HendrickCars.com team made four Xfinity Series starts in 2022 and six in 2023. In 10 combined appearances, it has accumulated three pole positions, six top-five finishes and seven top-10s, including three second-place results.
