Hendrick Motorsports is one of the strongest NASCAR teams every season, but every team has its weak links. Today, The Iceberg will take us through the most iconic weak links in Hendrick’s history. 

  • Many people think Dale Jr. replaced Kyle Busch at Hendrick Motorsports, but technically, Casey Mears replaced the future Hall of Famer and continued to have one of the worst seasons for a Hendrick driver, barely finishing in the top 20 points. Is this one of the worst replacements in NASCAR history?
  • Unfortunately, Dale Jr‘s results weren’t much better than Casey Myers since it took him a few years to take off with Hendrick Motorsports. Why do you think Dale Jr struggled during this period?
  • In 2012, Kasey Kahne was one of the most highly sought-after free agents in NASCAR, but when he came to Hendrick Motorsports, he struggled throughout his entire run. Do you think Kasey Kahne’s career was a disappointment?

Who do you think was the most infamous fourth driver in Hendrick Motorsports? Let The Iceberg know all of your thoughts and questions in the comment section.
