After Chase Elliott won the championship last season, the organization and Kyle Larson celebrated their second consecutive cup series championship. All in all, Rick Hendrick's team has now won 14 cup championships, which is Larson's latest championship with 10 points in an outstanding season. In addition to Larsen, Alex Bowman had four victories, Elliott had two victories, and William Byron had one victory for a total of 17 games.
Lost in the championship battle with Hendrick Motorsports, but the four JGR drivers won a total of nine victories in 2021. Martin Truex Jr. led four times in a season, and Christopher Bell also won the first cup of his career.
Roger Penske's team brought all three drivers to the playoffs, and Joey Logano, Ryan Blaney and Brad Keselowski were able to advance to the quarterfinals. Although the Penske team did not have a championship 4, the trio achieved five victories in 2021.
By SHR's own standards, it was a very downturn year, and Aric Almirola only achieved one victory. Kevin Harvick did not win after nine victories a year ago. Chase Briscoe had a year of ups and downs, but was still able to win the honor of Rookie of the Year. Cole Custer's year can best be described as frustrating, and honestly, the term can sum up the organization's entire season.
Kurt Busch had a stable performance in the final year of CGR, and then entered 23XI Racing with an Atlanta victory in July 2022. Roth Chastain played in the middle of the season and his performance was stable. The organization will cease to exist after it merges with Trackhouse Racing next year.
The story of RCR in 2021 is the appearance of Tyler Reddick, who seems to have won the first cup of his career many times this season. He entered the playoffs and eventually ranked 13th. Teammate Austin Dillon's entire season was disappointing, with only one top five and eight top ten.
Matt DiBenedetto has received a lot of attention this year, even if not all for the right reasons, he is ranked 18th in the final ranking, with 3 top 5 and 8 top 10. . The new era will begin in 2022, and rookie Harrison Burton will be ranked 21st.
When you win the biggest competition in this sport, it will be remembered as a wonderful year. This is exactly the situation in Front Row, when Michael McDowell won the Daytona 500 at the beginning of the season and locked the playoff spot. However, McDowell or teammate Anthony Alfredo has not been so smooth for the rest of the season, and he will not return in 2022.
The team did not realize its lofty pre-season ambitions, but the fact is that Bubba Wallace did win the first cup of his career at the Talladega Super Circuit and was in this year’s cup series. Ranked 21st. The organization now hopes that Kurt Busch will join the stable next season and expand into a two-car team.
After a surprising debut season, the future of this team looks very bright, and Daniel Suarez has sometimes performed well. The final number is one of the top five and top ten of the upstart organization. After the purchase of Chip Ganassi Racing, the organization will develop into a two-car operation next year.
