Former NASCAR driver Kasey Kahne has stated that Hendrick Motorsports' celebrated "dream team" was already past its peak when he arrived at the organization, according to a report from MotorBiscuit published Thursday.
The comments from Kahne, who drove for Hendrick from 2012 to 2017, suggest the powerhouse team's dominant era may have been waning by the time the 2004 Rookie of the Year joined the stable. Hendrick Motorsports, owned by Rick Hendrick, has been one of NASCAR's most successful organizations with multiple championships across different eras.
Kahne earned three victories during his Hendrick tenure but never captured a Cup Series championship. The 43-year-old Washington native retired from full-time competition after the 2018 season.
