Daniel Hemric Faster But Not Fast Enough
8 months agoDaniel Hemric overtook Zane Smith to not be in last place in speed percentile this year at Richmond last weekend, but his speed percentile of 17.87 still ranks second worst in the Cup Series and even at Richmond, he was only faster than 20% of the other cars in that race. Hemric was solid at Martinsville in the Xfinity Series with an average finish of 6.7 and 46 laps led, but his only laps led came for Joe Gibbs Racing. For Kaulig, he was competent but never really a race factor and in the Cup Series. Couple that with a 36th place starting position (slowest of all the full-time entries) and it's hard to imagine him being competitive.
