#88 | Mikey Willard
Team: Hendrick Motorsports
Rookie Season: 2021
Starts: 54
Wins: 0
Top 5s: 6
Top 10s: 14
Entering just his 5th season in a national-touring stock-car racing series, Mikey Willard made it clear that the reason he's in Cup is due to his natural talent. 4 top 10 finishes to kick off the season, and 7 in the first 10 races was nothing to scoff about, even with being in some of the best equipment in the series While he didn't score a win (a best finish of 2nd at Bristol), he did wind up 8th in points, and won Rookie of the Year honors over William Sparks. Mikey originally had a 2 year contract to be in the #88, but over the off-season has signed an extension to his contract, meaning he'll be home at Hendrick for quite some time. Axalta remains aboard the #88 Chevy, though no throwback this time around. Hooters jumps aboard as a secondary sponsor.
