Today marks nine days before NASCAR Cup Series drivers compete in the 67th running of the Great American Race. Before Joey Logano won the pole for the 2024 DAYTONA 500 in a Team Penske Ford, cars with Hendrick Motorsports power under their hoods had taken the previous nine pole positions for NASCAR’s most prestigious race. Starting with Jeff Gordon in 2015, Hendrick drivers accounted for eight of those nine top qualifying spots, with Alex Bowman earning three, Chase Elliott two and William Byron and Kyle Larson one each. In 2020, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. won the pole in a JTG Daugherty Racing Chevrolet sporting a Hendrick engine.

Tune-in to the 2025 DAYTONA 500 on Sunday, February 16 at 2:30 p.m. ET on FOX, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
