Daniel Hemric Wins First Truck Series Race

Daniel Hemric clinched his first NASCAR Truck Series victory at Martinsville Speedway, winning the Boys and Girls Club of the Blue Ridge 200. This marks his first win in the series after a long wait of over a decade since his debut in 2013, joining others like Martin Truex Jr. and Michael Waltrip in enduring long waits for their first victories. Hemric's victory was achieved after a dramatic race where he capitalized on incidents involving key competitors Corey Heim and Kaden Honeycutt. Post-race, Hemric celebrated with his signature backflip, reminiscent of his 2021 Xfinity Series championship win. The win also earned him a $50,000 Triple Truck Challenge bonus and a coveted grandfather clock trophy. Hemric's success at Martinsville also sees him placed fourth in the Truck Series standings.
