In 1996, Terry Labonte had one of the greatest seasons in his NASCAR
Hall of Fame® career while driving the flagship No. 5 Chevrolet for
Hendrick Motorsports. Fast forward to 2024, the 40th anniversary season
for the Hendrick organization, and Kyle Larson will be honoring
Labonte’s 1996 championship with a special throwback paints cheme at
Darlington Raceway.
Larson is now behind the wheel of the heralded No. 5 and is
continuing the championship tradition that Labonte started in 1996. To
celebrate Labonte’s place in Hendrick Motorsports history, Larson’s
HendrickCars.com Chevrolet Camaro will sport the same colors, stripe
patterns, and throwback script at Darlington that Labonte’s No. 5 had
during his championship season.
