Forbes' annual rankings show that Hendrick Motorsports is the most valuable team in NASCAR for the second consecutive year. Forbes' report, released Wednesday, shows NASCAR's top team is worth $350 million. But the report claims the average team value has declined $5 million during the past 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.

Forbes says the value of a top 10 team in NASCAR has dropped 10 percent since 2008.

Forbes ranked three Hendrick drivers as the highest paid in NASCAR. Dale Earnhardt Jr. is first at $30 million, followed by Jeff Gordon ($27 million) and Jimmie Johnson ($23 million.)
