Hendrick, Chevrolet know they "have very little margin" despite wins
Hendrick drivers have won two of the 2024 season’s first two races, with William Byron winning the Daytona 500 and Kyle Larson dominating in a victory Sunday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Daniel Suarez’s win at Atlanta for Trackhouse Racing has kept the only manufacturer that did not begin the season with a new car body from losing a race. Despite the wins, there are signs Toyota and Ford teams remain in contention with Ford drivers winning all three poles this season and Toyota driver Tyler Reddick challenging Larson in multiple stages of the race. The Chevy team maintains a sense of urgency, knowing they need to keep evolving and improving to stay competitive against the evolving Toyota and Ford competition. While HMS celebrates their early wins, they are also aware of the challenge ahead, particularly with the advancements Ford and Toyota are making with their new car platforms. Jeff Andrews emphasizes the need for HMS to work together and push themselves to keep their position at the top.
