NASCAR driver averages: Kyle Larson, Hendrick Motorsports look to build on Sonoma success

CONCORD, N.C. - On to wine country where Hendrick Motorsports has been popping bottles since 1998!

That's when Jeff Gordon scored the first of eight victories for the company at Sonoma Raceway, the most of any organization in the NASCAR Cup Series. Gordon is the all-time winningest driver at the track, visiting victory lane five times. 

Recently, the fastest man at the serpentine track has been another California native, Kyle Larson, who picked up his second victory at the venue last June. His resume includes four pole awards and his average starting position of 3.8 is tops among all drivers. 

On the other side of things, Chase Elliott carries the best career average finish into Sunday's event at 11.1 in eight starts. That includes six top-10 finishes.

Alex Bowman has finished in the top 15 in five of his last six Sonoma races with a pair of top 10s sprinkled in. He will look to outrun Ty Dillon to advance to the final four of the NASCAR In-Season Challenge. 

Finally, William Byron has started inside the top eight four times in his six races in central California.
