Daniel Hemric's Best Hope Is Piggybacking Off Shane van Gisbergen's Setups
2 months agoAlthough Daniel Hemric has never done much on the Charlotte roval at the NASCAR Cup Series level, he was a reliably consistent driver there in the Xfinity Series with four top-10 finishes, including two third-place finishes along with starting fourth or better in every one of his starts. But the Cup Series is another beast, and he only qualified 27th for Sunday's race and finished no better than 23rd in his two previous appearances here. Sometimes drivers can piggyback off their road-racing expert teammates' setup notes to gain speed, so Shane van Gisbergen winning the pole potentially could help Hemric's race setups. However, judging by his qualifying, Hemric seems more likely poised for his usual mediocre run.
