HendrickCars.com, a company owned by the team owner stepped up to become the primary sponsor for the majority of the races. That followed an additional HendrickCars.com sponsorship on dirt racing machines driven by Larson.
For 2022, they’ve returned as the primary sponsor of the No. 5 at the Cup level. And they’re doing things a little different with a home/away firesuit…
Blue Firesuit: “A new plan for the classic blue uniforms. Each race will be considered Home or Away based on proximity to our dealerships. Scroll down for more information about what gear you can expect to see, and when.”
White Firesuit: “A new look for our home tracks. Fresh white team uniforms on these race days mean you can find a Hendrick Automotive Group dealership nearby, and should keep an eye out for some fun surprises.”
The NASCAR Next Gen car makes it’s debut in the 2022 season. A new generation chassis has narrowed the rear quarter panel. With the change, sponsors have been moved to the door with the number moved forward, creating unique looking designs.
