SUNDAY, Wise Power 400 NASCAR Cup Series race from 2-mile Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif. Start: 5th
Stage 1 Finish: 35th
Stage 2 Finish: 33rd
Finish: 9th
From Daniel Hemric: “What a day! I felt like we had a really good car, and we were able to maintain good speed and move forward. Unfortunately, we had an issue with our shifter and lost six laps. I can’t believe we got all of them back and were even able to contend there at the end. I’m super proud of everyone on this No. 16 Poppy Bank Chevy team, My crew chief, Matt Swiderski, and everyone else at Kaulig Racing put together an incredible race car. It was really good and super fast – it was just a matter of being back on the lead lap.”

Stage 2 Finish: 6th
Finish: 12th
From Hemric: “It was a disappointing day for sure. There were moments when I thought we’d be able to move forward, but we just struggled with speed. We struggled with adjustments on our No. 11 Poppy Bank Chevy, and we were way too loose during the last half of the race. We will work to be better as a team.”
