Hendrick Motorsports Car No. 24
Iconic NASCAR racecar
The Hendrick Motorsports No. 24 car is a NASCAR Cup Series team that has been active since 1992. The team began with driver Jeff Gordon, who spent almost his entire full-time Cup Series career behind the wheel of the No. 24 between 1992 and 2015. Gordon won 93 points-paying races, the most of any driver in NASCAR's modern era, and four series championships before retiring from full-time racing in 2015. After Gordon's retirement the No. 24 was driven by Chase Elliott in 2016 and 2017. Elliott earned a spot in the NASCAR playoffs both seasons but failed to win a points-paying race. Since 2018, the No. 24 has been driven by William Byron after Kasey Khane left Hendrick Motorsports and Chase Elliott was moved to the no 9 car.

Why this record matters
The phrase “iconic NASCAR racecar” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q65120800. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1992, 2015, 2016 and 2017.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
