Kaulig Racing announce that Daniel Hemric will contest in their number 10 Chevrolet in Xfinity Series championship 

Kaulig Racing has decided to switch Daniel Hemric into the No. 10 Chevrolet Camaro for the remaining eight races of the 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series season.

“As we prepare to close out the 2023 season, Daniel Hemric will take over the No. 10 Chevrolet for the remaining races to contend for the NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) Championship,” Chris Rice, Team President said via X.

Hemric now holds a 55-point lead over Parker Kligerman and is in 11th position on the NASCAR Xfinity Series Playoff Grid. So, barring a huge incident at Kansas Speedway, he should enter the postseason.

The No. 11 Chevrolet, which has been driven by Hemric the whole season, is presently 26 points below the cutline for the NASCAR Xfinity Series Owner's Playoffs.

With the change of drivers at Kansas, Derek Kraus, who rejoins the team this weekend, will jump behind the wheel of the No. 11 Chevrolet. Hemric, meanwhile, will take over the driving duties for the No. 10 Chevrolet.

Daniel Hemric is able to compete for Kaulig Racing in both the drivers' and owners' championships by switching to the No. 10 Chevrolet. It is now sixth in the NASCAR Xfinity Series Owner Points standings.
