Recently, news broke that the Kaulig Racing team have made another move in the driver market. The outfit has roped in Daniel Hemric to drive for the Xfinity team for the 2022 season. He will be taking over the #11 seat that Justin Haley currently drives. For his part, Haley will graduate to Kaulig’s Cup Series operation next season.

As per reports, the 30-year-old will link up with AJ Allmendinger next year at Kaulig Racing.

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.
