"Hendrick Motorsports will have five teams vying for starting positions in Sunday's STP 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Martinsville Speedway, but HMS officials aren't skirting the rules.
Since 2006, NASCAR has limited Sprint Cup organizations to no more than four full-time teams. However, officials allow a fifth entry for a maximum of seven starts "for the purpose of enabling a rookie driver … to become familiar with NASCAR Sprint Cup Series competition."
In addition to full-time teams for drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson and Kasey Kahne, HMS will field a fifth entry for defending XFINITY Series champion Chase Elliott at Martinsville.

It will be Elliott's first attempt in the Sprint Cup Series, one of five scheduled for the 19-year-old this season. Elliott will also be entered in Sprint Cup races at Richmond (April 25), Charlotte (May 24), Indianapolis (July 26) and Darlington (Sept. 6).
The No. 25 Chevrolet will carry sponsorship from NAPA and will be led by crew chief Kenny Francis.
Elliott is slated to replace Gordon in the team's No. 24 Chevrolet beginning in 2016. It will be the first time an organization has fielded five Sprint Cup teams in one race since 2009 provided Elliott qualifies for the 43-car field."
