No. 1 Rick Hendrick (HMS)
Was there ever any doubt as to who was going to be at the top of this list?
Team Hendrick has been one of the best teams in NASCAR for decades. The team currently has a pair of drivers with 10 NASCAR championships between them in Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson. They also employ the most popular driver in the sport in Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kasey Kahne who mans the No. 5 machine.
Team Hendrick has been the gold standard in the sport since Jeff Gordon burst onto the scene in the 90’s. While Gordon faded a bit, Johnson picked up the slack in the 2000’s. In 2015 three HMS drivers have a chance to win a championship. In 2016 the team will evolve yet again as Gordon leaves and Chase Elliott takes over the No. 24 machine.
Hendrick is also one of only two NASCAR owners who have a net worth of more than one billion.
