Hemric, who only sits ninth in the standings, has a 14-point advantage over the Chase bubble. It would've been an even larger gap if he didn't wreck at Lucas Oil Raceway last weekend.
Hemric will have to put forth two very strong runs to make the Chase. After all, McAnally-Hilgemann Racing has struggled with reliability, as shown by Christian Eckes' issues at Lucas Oil. It has been a tough season for the NASCAR team, and it is all coming down to the final races before the Chase.
Ironically, Tyler Ankrum is the first driver out of the Chase, meaning one of Hemric's teammates will be battling him for a spot. If Hemric and the No. 19 team for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing want to compete for a Truck Series championship in 2026, the next two races are extremely critical.
