CONCORD, N.C. - With two of the remaining NASCAR Cup Series Championship 4 teams remaining, confidence runs high at Hendrick Motorsports this week.
And even aside from the organization's championship pedigree, one that includes an all-time record 14 titles in the premier series, there is plenty of reason to be hopeful if you're a fan of Kyle Larson, William Byron or Hendrick Motorsports in general.
Earlier this week on HendrickMotorsports.com, we took a look at all four of the team's drivers' history at Phoenix Raceway, the site of Sunday's 2025 finale. It's a story that's released weekly on the site; however, this is anything but any old week.
And there is a ton of data and numbers that reach far beyond career marks at Phoenix Raceway that are positive for Larson, Byron and Hendrick Motorsports in Sunday's Championship 4 battle against Denny Hamlin and Chase Briscoe.
So, we gathered them all into one, convenient place:
