Forbes' annual rankings show that Hendrick Motorsports is the most valuable team in NASCAR for the second consecutive year.

Roush Fenway Racing is ranked second at a value of $238 million, and Richard Childress Racing is ranked third at $153 million.
Joe Gibbs Racing ($144 million) and Richard Petty Motorsports ($124 million) round out the top five.
