I really wanted to create my own identity and not be so closely linked with my brother, so I chose to go with Hendrick. But there's no question that my big break in the sport came about because of Kurt. At the same time I wouldn't be here if I couldn't hack it. I plan on being in the Chase next year.
Quotes about hendrick (15 Quotes)
Hendrick is a large powerhouse hospital in the community, and they've captured the market share through contracts. They are unwilling to give that up by us having access to that patient base. Therefore, they have a monopoly. It seems to me they are using their strength and market presence to let (Blue Cross) know that.
You won't. (Roush) didn't either, if you remember. He went from one car, and then when he added a second car, it wasn't very good. And then the third car was worse. So he struggled for a while, too, as did Hendrick and everybody else.
It is to the glory of God that I present the Kimberly Hendrick scholarship award to Christy Connors,
I will do everything I can to be a great teammate, but at the same time, I can't go out and wreck people and do intentional things, ... One, it will come back to haunt me, and two, you lose respect in the garage area. That is something I wouldn't do and something Jeff wouldn't want me to do. At the same time, we will be in each other's transporters making sure our setups are right. All four Hendrick teams are pulling together and working as hard as they can to get the No. 24 into the Chase. We will all be great teammates like we always have been. Jeff always delivers when the times are tough. I think Richmond is going to be a Jeff Gordon night.
The first thing I did was go to Rick Hendrick and tell him what I'd been approached with, what I would like to do and what my hopes were. We worked it all out, and first thing I know I'm signing a lifetime contract.
Chad Hendrick, who won a gold, a silver, and a bronze, skated in this rink.

They have a new coach (Andy Hendrick) and a new system and, when we saw them in team camp, the new coach was still trying to develop his guys. But I know they'll be ready and they'll be a challenge.
Driver Greg Biffle said a member of his crew took a photo of the Hendrick cars failing the height inspection at Dover. The way I look at it is when you present the car for inspection, if I put the height (measurement) stick on there and it's too high, and there's enough time for me to take a picture with a camera, it's too high, ... I don't care what else happens.. .. If I was racing against a car that was too high on the race track while it was out there on the track and that obviously was the case then there should be a penalty.
Hendrick Motorsports opened my eyes to a whole different level of this industry. The experience has allowed me to see things from a new perspective and learn important lessons about business and life,
Qualifying is first and foremost, ... Once we can achieve that initial goal, the next objective for California is to finish the race in the top 20. That won't be easy, but it's possible even though there are more than 20 world-class drivers competing in the Nextel Cup Series. I really feel the CENTRIX Financial team can do it. I am backed by a quality crew chief, a quality crew and have Hendrick horsepower under the hood of my CENTRIX Financial Chevy.
We like the two-mile tracks. Again, it's just a matter of staying out of trouble and not having any fluke things happen to us. I'm not a bit concerned about performance. When you have a MB2-built car and a Hendrick engine you don't worry about power and performance.
Well, it's really important. We wanted to win here tonight, but Kyle got a great restart there. Congratulations to Kyle Busch and that whole Hendrick team. Those guys have been coming on a win for a long time and it's exciting for your first win. It was just a great job by the guys in the pits. We put spring rubbers in and adjusted the heck out of that race car tonight - from tight to loose to just can't drive it. Our thoughts and prayers are with everybody in the gulf coast and all the National Guard folks down there helping everybody. I know there were a lot of soldiers called to duty to go down there and we're just thinking about all of them.
My responsibility is to all of the people who have invested money and time into this team. Jeff is a phenomenal talent and there's so much support here at Hendrick that I don't feel it's only on my shoulders. I think in the last 10 races of 2005 we showed glimmers of where we need to be. If we didn't set a goal to win a championship I'd be disappointed.
