Rick Hendrick Raises Concern About Next Gen Car

Hendrick Motorsports owner Rick Hendrick says NASCAR’s Next Gen car could make it harder for Kyle Larson to match Jimmie Johnson’s record of seven Cup Series championships. After Larson won his third title at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday, Hendrick praised the driver and crew chief Cliff Daniels but noted that Johnson’s championship run came in a different car era. The comments were reported by The Athletic’s Jeff Gluck.
