Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports is excited about the new car…
Rick Hendrick comments
“Our guys, along with GM have been working on this,” Rick Hendrick told Bob Pockrass.
“It’s supposedly better than what we got. Closer to what Toyota and Ford have.”
“They had a shot at the apple. Taking our car and getting their car better.”
“So next year, I mean, we gotta learn the car. It wont be perfect right out of the gate.”
Next year, NASCAR is increasing horsepower on track shorter than 1-mile. The first test with that new package is coming this week.
“I’m super excited about more power. And I’m excited about having a new car that we can work with that’s got more down force.”
