Jeff Gordon diecast 25th Anniversary HMS 2009 #24 Hendricks Commemorative Nascar car 1/24 :: Jeff Gordon diecast Hendricks 25th Anniversary 2009 Test HMS Commemorative #24 1/24 scale Chevrolet Impala collectible Nascar diecast car is precision engineered by MotorSports Authentics as their Action Platinum Series. This Jeff Gordon #24 2009 paint scheme was going to be Gordon's Test car for the 2009 Nascar Cup season until the ruling was made by the sanctioning body to eliminate testing as a cost reducton. So, now this Jeff Gordon 2009 test car paint scheme is a non-raced, commemorative diecast car celebrating Hendrick Motorsport's Silver Anniversary! In 24 years of competition, HMS has garnered 7 NASCAR Sprint Cup Championships, 3 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series titles and 1 NASCAR Nationwide Series crown, making it one of stock-car racing’s premier organizations in the 60 year history of this great sport. Rick Hendrick, who is just the second team owner in NASCAR’s modern era to earn more than 150 Cup Series victories, is a leader in this sport and ann icon in the sports world. The HMS 25th anniversary paint scheme series is a celebration of this great man and leader; and to the accomplishments of his organization and what makes HMS one of the top sports teams in the world. In 1984, Hendrick founded All-Star Racing. That year, the fledgling outfit fielded a single NASCAR Winston Cup Series (now Sprint Cup) team with five full-time employees and 5,000 square feet of workspace. With Geoff Bodine driving an entire 30-race campaign in Hendrick’s No. 5 Chevrolets, the group finished ninth in championship points after earning three victories and three pole positions in its first season. Rechristened Hendrick Motorsports in 1985, the organization today is headquartered on more than 100 acres of North Carolina property straddling Cabarrus and Mecklenburg counties. The 600,000 square foot facility houses complete engine and chassis building areas to support four full time teams in NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series and one part time team in the Nationwide Series. Hendrick Motorsports has garnered 11 NASCAR championships, seven in the Sprint Cup Series, three in the Craftsman Truck Series and one in the Nationwide Series, making it one of the sport’s premier operations. Its roster of stock car drivers include Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Jeff Gordon, Casey Mears and Jimmie Johnson. In 2007, Hendrick surpassed 200 combined victories in NASCAR’s top three divisions. He is currently second on NASCAR’s all time Cup win list (1949-present) and leads all owners in modern era victories (1972-present). His Cup level teams have won at least one race each year since 1986, the longest active streak, and have averaged nearly 10 wins annually over the last decade.
