• Daniel Hemric and the No. 8 team enter the Round of 8 in
the playoff grid for the owner’s championship as the eighth
seed, 24 points behind the fourth and final cutoff position.
• Hemric earned a seventh-place finish earlier this season at
Kansas.
• Overall, in three previous starts in the NXS at Kansas,
Hemric has earned a best finish of second, coming in 2018.
• This weekend in Kansas, Hemric and the No. 8 team will
again be honoring the life and legacy of John Andretti and
the #CheckIt4Andretti campaign with Andretti’s 1995-96
Cup Series scheme.
“I’m definitely ready to head to Kansas with this No. 8 team
and continue our fight for this owner’s championship. It’s
great knowing that we made it into the Round of 8 and
now we just need to go out and continue to execute and
do what we can to make that final four in Phoenix. We had
a really solid run here in July and I feel extremely confident
that we can back that up again, especially with the return
of the John Andretti Tribute scheme. I can’t thank Poppy
Bank enough for allowing us to run this scheme again and
hopefully we can come away with a really solid day for the
entire Andretti family.”
TIL NEXT TIME, I AM STILL WORKING ON MY REDNECK!
