For combat-wounded veterans, transitioning from the military back to civilian life can be a challenge. That, combined with the cost of a new vehicle, can put added burdens on our nation’s military service members and their families. To help, Wells Fargo teamed up with Hendrick Automotive Group, Hendrick Honda of Easley and Military Warriors Support Foundation to present a payment-free 2021 Honda Pilot to retired U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Timothy Harvley during a special key ceremony Thursday, June 24, at the dealership.

On Friday, May 21, a group of local students visited the K1 Speed Go Kart track in Austin, Texas. It wouldn’t be considered an unusual outing for the group of young motor enthusiasts, who are all part of the automotive technology program at their school, except for the fact that they wouldn’t just be racing each other that day. Their visit was part of a Hendrick, Get Set. Go! event and they would get the chance to race NASCAR driver Kyle Larson and celebrate their school receiving a $10,000 STEM award.

Hendrick Automotive Group is expanding our support of local schools with the launch of our nationwide Hendrick, Get Set. GO! initiative in partnership with Hendrick Motorsports and Kyle Larson, NASCAR Cup Series driver of the No. 5 HendrickCars.com Chevrolet. The new competition funds education projects in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) in multiple key markets. We want to say “Go!” to great ideas that bring students from all backgrounds to the starting line of the STEM track.

A couple of loyal Lexus customers were looking forward to the new convertible model for eight years, and were the first on the waiting list. But when the Structural Blue color they had their heart set on turned out to be a limited edition, it looked like their wait could be far from over.
