Daniel Hemric Qualified Much Better Than Usual at Bristol
4 mins agoEven though Daniel Hemric has been the second-slowest full-time driver in the NASCAR Cup Series this year ahead of only Harrison Burton, he has been good at finishing races so he is still ahead of three drivers in points who have been faster and he does have a knack for usually finishing better than he runs. Hemric qualified substantially better than usual for this evening's race with a 21st-place starting position, his best on a non-drafting oval since Dover 18 races ago. Considering that he usually finishes better than he starts (even in the races this season when he has qualified well), he might earn a finish in the teens, although considering his lack of speed, a top ten would still be a stretch unless the race is really wacky like the March race was.
