Daniel Hemric's Crash Avoidance Could Suit Him At Daytona
4 months agoAlthough Daniel Hemric has been very slow in the NASCAR Cup Series this year, he has been smooth and polished and good at crash avoidance; his racecraft certainly exceeds his raw talent. That definitely suits him well for a track like Daytona, where half the field regularly crashes. Hemric's steady hand has given him three top twenties at Daytona and he genuinely looked fast for one of the only times this season at Talladega. Kaulig Racing has obviously been one of the fastest teams in Xfinity Series drafting races for years, but that hasn't really extended to the Cup Series much yet. Nonetheless, crash avoidance is definitely his primary strength, so don't be surprised if he finishes, but he probably isn't fast enough to fight for the win.
