Has Hendrick supassed Petty Enterprises in wins?

I stumbled across an article from 2012 that mentioned HMS had recently gotten its 200th win which put them second to Richard Petty in team wins. I assume that they meant Petty Enterprises and were going all the way back to Lee Petty's days.

At that time, they mentioned 287 wins for Petty's team. It's been three years since that article and Hendrick remains successful while RPM wins don't count toward Petty's total in my mind.

Can anyone point me to a link that tells me the current total? And I thought I remembered reading that the Wood Brothers team has more wins than Petty.

Thanks Dave! To clarify your statement, the 268 total runs to 2008 and is bundled under Petty Enterprises. I'm not knowledgeable enough to say whether that's correct. RPM is listed separately beginning in 2009 - 5 wins.

I thought Hendrick would have more by now. Rick isn't that young anymore but it looks like he can beat the PE record if he hangs in there another three or four years.
