CONCORD, N.C. - The triangular-shaped Pocono Raceway may be, "tricky", but no organization in the history of the NASCAR Cup Series has figured it out more often than Hendrick Motorsports.
The team enters this weekend's race in Pennsylvania with the most wins (19), poles (14), top fives (78), top 10s (140) and laps led (3,456) in the circuit's history.
Chase Elliott is the most recent driver in the company's stable to visit victory lane at Pocono, registering a win in July of 2022. He's one of only seven active drivers with 10 or more top-10 finishes at the 2.5-mile tri-oval.
Alex Bowman also has a victory at Pocono, rolling to a win in 2021. He's coming off a third-place finish at the Tricky Triangle last season.
Kyle Larson's career average finish of 11.6 is fourth-best among all active drivers at Pocono. William Byron has two pole awards in 11 starts.
Here's a look at how all four drivers stack up as well as a little Hendrick Motorsports history lesson:
