[autotag]Hendrick Motorsports[/autotag] has been on a high over the last two weeks. William Byron won the NASCAR Cup Series race at Martinsville Speedway during the organization’s 40th anniversary weekend, and Chase Elliott claimed his first victory since 2022 at Texas Motor Speedway. Now, the organization has set a modern NASCAR record at Texas.
The No. 9 team posted an 8.49-second, four-tire pit stop at Texas. That is the fastest four-tire pit stop in NASCAR history. Elliott’s crew did a fantastic job as the stars aligned for Hendrick Motorsports. The driver of the No. 9 car caught several timely yellows, had the fastest four-tire pit stop in NASCAR history, and held off the competition for his first win since October 2022.

Hendrick Motorsports has arguably been NASCAR’s top team in the Cup Series, with three of its four drivers posting victories in 2024. The only driver who hasn’t won is Alex Bowman, but he has shown speed some weeks. Now, Hendrick Motorsports will look forward to Talladega Superspeeway, looking to replicate a record-breaking weekend at Texas.
