Daniel Hemric is climbing the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Trucks Series charts as the 2026 tour reaches Nashville Superspeedway, and the driver is eyeing his first victory of the season.
A Season on the Rise
Entering the weekend, Hemric sits ninth in the championship standings and has gained nine positions in points over the last six races, underscoring a steady upward trajectory.
His recent form includes a top‑10 finish in his lone Cup Series start at Nashville in 2021 and a fourth‑place result in last year’s Truck race, a performance that helped the No. 19 truck secure a provisional spot on the Chase grid.
Nashville’s Historic Challenge
The upcoming event will begin with practice and qualifying on Friday at 4:00 p.m. ET, broadcast on FOX Sports 2, before the green flag drops on FOX Sports 1 at 8:00 p.m. ET.
Hemric’s teammate Christian Eckes dominated the 2024 edition, leading every lap to claim a commanding victory, a benchmark that Hemric hopes to match or surpass.
For the No. 19 team, a win would not only add a Gibson guitar trophy to Hemric’s collection but also reinforce the program’s momentum as it looks to extend its success at the historic 1.33‑mile oval.
