Hemric to Make Trucks Debut at Martinsville Sharp-Gallaher Racing announced Thursday that 22-year-old Late Model standout Daniel Hemric will make his Camping World Truck Series debut for the team behind the wheel of the No. 6 Jack Links / Valvoline Chevrolet at Martinsville Speedway next weekend. “This kid has been on everyone’s radar,” said team co-owner Eddie Sharp, Jr. “I’m thrilled that we were able to pull together to give Daniel the opportunity to make his Truck Series debut with SGR. He is incredibly talented and has a very bright future in the sport.” Hemric has become a household name in the Legends car, Modified, and Late Model ranks, earning countless honors over the years. Hemric started driving Legends cars at the age of 16 and won back-to-back championships in the division, 2008 and 2009 at Concord Speedway. He also won the 2009 Summer Shootout championship at Charlotte Motor Speedway, recording six wins over a 10-race season. “This is a dream come true,” Hemric said of the opportunity. “I am so thankful to Eddie Sharp, Bill Gallaher, and to Austin Dillon for putting me together with them. It is going to be great to make my NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debut with a great team at SGR. Everyone has really pulled together and put in a lot of last-minute effort to make this a reality, and I cannot thank them enough. Also a huge thank you to Jack Link’s, Valvoline, Hope for Warriors and Stitch98 for their support!” In 2010, Hemric won the nationally televised and prestigious Legends Million event at Charlotte Motor Speedway. He then moved on to the Modifieds and Late Models, earning his first career Super Late Model win in 2011. He claimed the JEGS/CRA All-Star Championship in 2012. 2013 has seen even more success for Hemric with additional track and series titles.
