CONCORD, N.C. –\u00a0A NASCAR Championship 4 race<\/a> calls for a championship quiz.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And a championship prize. Well, more like a Hendrick Motorsports<\/a> treasure trove.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That’s what our resident archivist Sam Ulrich is offering up to one lucky and knowledgeable fan this week. It’s a prize assortment the likes of which we’ve never offered before. Not even close.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But first, this week’s artifacts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In celebration of Sunday’s finale, Sam dug out some tires. In fact, the four that Kyle Larson roasted onto the Phoenix Raceway pavement in 2021 as he celebrated his first career championship<\/a>. And of course, we found the car as well for a little background color and a nifty Phoenix helmet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

Larson will chase his second title on Sunday at Phoenix Raceway and is joined by teammate William Byron in the Championship 4.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With any luck, Sam will have a few more keepsakes to pile up in a corner for future use in this space.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But as for this week…<\/p>\n

As we teased earlier, this week’s prize haul for you dear reader borders on the absurd. You can send ol’ Sam a thank you card later.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For starters, with two teams heading to Phoenix<\/a> with a shot to win, Sam threw not one, but two hats and two crew shirts into the mix. One of each is adorned with Axalta branding for Byron while the other shirt and hat bear the blue of HendrickCars.com for Larson. The No. 24 crew shirt is a size large while the No. 5 is an extra-large.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But that’s the tip of the iceberg. Also in the mix is a framed photo of Hendrick Motorsports<\/a> owner, Rick Hendrick, signed by Mr. H himself. For good measure, Sam also threw in a 40th-anniversary hardcover book, an essential for any fan of the organization.\u00a0<\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

And finally, the coup de gras, a massive Hendrick Motorsports\/NASCAR Cup\u00a0Series<\/a> champion flag that includes the years of all 14 titles won by the team thus far. It is also signed by Jeff Gordon<\/a>, Chase Elliott<\/a>, Alex Bowman, Byron and Larson. The flag is also framed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For those counting, and we know you are, that’s six autographs, some new threads and a book. Now, to beat Sam one last time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To win this cavalcade of treasure, take on Sam’s trivia quiz above. If you’re one of the highest scorers, you will be automatically entered into a drawing to win.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Remember, entries are limited to one per device and the quiz will close on Monday at 11:45 p.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Good luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CONCORD, N.C. –\u00a0A NASCAR Championship 4 race calls for a championship quiz.\u00a0 And a championship prize.
