• Coming off a season-best finish of second at Charlotte,
Daniel Hemric will make his fifth NXS start at Bristol on
Saturday afternoon.
• In four previous NXS starts in “Thunder Valley”, Hemric has
earned two top fives and three top 10s with a best finish of
third coming in this event in 2018.
• Hemric has also made a combined eight starts across the
NASCAR Cup Series, the NXS and the NGROTS at Bristol,
earning a total of four top fives and five top 10s.
• Saturday marks the second primary race of 2020 for South
Point Hotel & Casino with the No. 8. South Point previously
partnered with Hemric during his 2018 NXS campaign.
“I’ve always loved racing at Bristol. It’s one of those tracks
that I’ve had a good feel for since the first time I raced
there in the Truck Series. I’m really looking forward to
seeing what we can do on Saturday once we get there with
our South Point Chevrolet. Taylor (Moyer, crew chief) and
all of these guys on this No. 8 team have been working
their tails off and it shows with the speed we’ve had in
these two first races back. Hopefully we can keep that
positive momentum going and get one spot better on
Saturday.”
TIL NEXT TIME, I AM STILL WORKING ON MY REDNECK!
