Nascar Trivia

Alright, this one is easy.

Who won the first ever points-paying race for Hendrick Motorsports in the Cup series?

Jeff? Really? Just to fill in all the blanks, Martinsville, spring 1984, and technically it was still All Star Racing then, not yet HMS. Ironically, the only "star" on the team at the time was crew chief Harry Hyde.

I'm not old enough to know that Hendrick was originally called All Star Racing. My apologies for making the question somewhat confusing. The question was supposed to read "Who won the first ever points-paying Cup series race for Hendrick?".

The answer is Geoff Bodine. I declare @sdj the winner even though he spelled it wrong.

Well because the companies first win in '84 was All Star Racing as Jackman said, they didn't become Hendrick Motorsports in name until '85
 
What driver has won in the cup series in all 4 manufacturers? (Toyota, Chevy, Ford, Dodge) I can only think of one.
 
I'm not the greatest at coming up with questions, but I'll give it a go.

Which team holds the record for most playoff drivers in a single season?

Schrader is the consummate racer, he loves it.

I know, he always gave me old school vibes. The thing is, from the moment I started watching NASCAR regularly in 2004, Schrader was a mid-pack driver past his prime similar to guys like Kyle Petty and Derrike Cope. But Schrader was way more successful than those guys in the 90's.

He even had a stint in Hendrick, which is pretty crazy.

Did you know that Ken Schrader was a competent driver during his prime?

How many Cup wins did he amass?

Lol I was just looking up LW Wright for that other thread about how it doesn't take talent to run at Daytona or Talladega (he's pretty good proof!) so I'm going to close Racing Reference to avoid cheating on this. IIRC it is somewhere around 10; I'm gonna answer that he won 8 races.

To my knowledge he is the only man to have both won a School Bus Figure 8 and a Cup race; true racer with experience sitting in everything from single seaters to dirt mods. I think I went about 20 years between seeing him race at the 98 Daytona 500 and my next time seeing him (which was at the Springfield Mile for the Bettenhausen 100 in 2018 or 2019).
