Writing on X (Twitter), Wallace, a Cup Series regular, wrote to driver/friend Daniel Hemric: “First one at the vill … nothing like it. Gladly help ya move that thing in the crib.”
Moments after taking the checkered flag for the Boys & Girls Club of the Blue Ridge 200 title, Hemric, a former Cup and Xfinity Series competitor, told Fox Sports he had long of the place he has long envisioned placing the coveted track trophy in his dining room.
Earning his first Truck Series win in 55 starts, Hemric battled his McAnally-Hilgemann Racing teammate Tyler Ankrum cleanly over the final laps. Ankrum’s winless skid extended to 129 outings.
“We found a way there at the end,” said Hemric, the 2021 Xfinity Series champion. “I came back here (to the Truck Series) to win, stay humble and enjoy this journey.”
Corey Heim dominated the opening two stages, but Hemric secured his long-await trip back to Victory Lane.
