Adam Wall Named Crew Chief of Five-Driver Line-Up
| CONCORD, N.C. (Feb. 19, 2025) – In 2025, Hendrick Motorsports will field its No. 17 HendrickCars.com Chevrolet in a 16-race NASCAR Xfinity Series slate featuring the organization’s four NASCAR Cup Series stars and newcomer Corey Day. The effort will be led by crew chief Adam Wall. William Byron will kick off the schedule March 1 at Circuit of The Americas, marking his first of two races in the No. 17 Chevy. Kyle Larson will also make two appearances while teammates Chase Elliott and Alex Bowman will each drive once. Day is scheduled for 10 starts for the team, including his Xfinity Series debut March 29 at Martinsville Speedway. The 19-year-old dirt racing phenom signed with Hendrick Motorsports in December and will race nearly 30 pavement events in 2025 across a variety of series. “We’re pleased to continue our sponsorship of the No. 17 team, which has driven significant traffic to HendrickCars.com and helped support the broader goals of Hendrick Automotive Group,” said Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports and chairman and CEO of Hendrick Automotive Group. “With Adam, we have one of the sharpest young crew chiefs in the garage area leading our team. The Xfinity Series competition is tough, and we’re looking forward to the challenge.” Wall, 35, spent the 2024 season as a crew chief for Hendrick Motorsports affiliate JR Motorsports where he spearheaded Xfinity Series efforts for drivers Sammy Smith and Brandon Jones. He joined Hendrick Motorsports as an engineer in 2011 before spending three seasons at JRM from 2016-2018. Wall returned to Hendrick Motorsports the following year, rising to become the lead race engineer for Larson and winning the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series championship. “Hendrick Motorsports has opened a lot of doors for me,” Wall said. “Because of the valuable experience I’ve gained, I feel very prepared for this opportunity. I’m excited about the chance to go racing with our Cup drivers and work with a young talent like Corey. Anyone who follows dirt knows he’s the real deal. We have high expectations as a team and look forward to a great year.” Since 2022, the No. 17 HendrickCars.com team has recorded two wins (both in 2024), four pole positions, 11 top-five finishes and 13 top-10s in 20 Xfinity Series starts with a variety of drivers.
