Caraviello: From humble beginnings, Hendrick built empire
The town of Bennettsville, S.C., is a place known for its soil. It was so fertile, legend once held, that it was sold not by the acre, but by the pound. Victorian and Greek revival homes still stand as testament to the era when the place got rich off king cotton, and gins gave rise to millionaires. That time has long passed now, but soybean, corn and cotton are still cultivated in and around the town roughly 30 miles from Darlington Raceway, and Bennettsville still makes much of its living from the earth.

Caraviello: Hendrick\'s joyous night another trying one for Gordon
It was a rare moment of relative quiet at Darlington Raceway, with the track under caution and the field coasting at pace-car speed along the backstretch. Amid the long shadows cast by the infield lights, the No. 24 car backed out of its garage stall and rumbled toward the race track. As the vehicle rolled back onto the racing surface, an ovation welled up from the crowd, the cheers plainly audible even above the chatter of the facility's public-address system.

By the Numbers: Hendrick Motorsports hits 200
Every big stage, every big moment, every crown jewel -- Hendrick Motorsports owns them all. The Daytona 500? The team boasts six trophies from The Great American Race. The Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway? Seven wins. The Coca-Cola 600? Nine.

Darlington success could bring Hendrick 200th win
The question follows Hendrick Motorsports from week to week and race track to race track, no longer an affirmation of its success but a reminder of its struggle. When will that elusive 200th victory finally come?

\'Big one\' returns with a vengeance
Three races without a multi-car wreck in the Sprint Cup Series left some wondering if there was something wrong with NASCAR. But don't worry. The sport is not broken, though more than a few race cars were when the "big one" finally came during the Aaron's 499 on Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway.
