Speaking about his new signing, Hemric said. “The belief that Matt Kaulig and Chris Rice have in me to come drive their notable, #11 car means the world to me. Equally, I believe in their program, their vision, and what they’re building at Kaulig Racing. It’s impressive to see how they’ve become an elite, multi-car Xfinity Series program in such a short period of time.

“I’m just incredibly thankful for the opportunity to drive for them next year, and I’m ready to put in the work to continue building on the team’s success.”
