DEREK KRAUS

DANIEL HEMRIC
“I haven’t been to Gateway since 2016, so I’ve never run on the repave. I’ve had a chance to do a little bit of simulation to get used to shifting as much as you do there. I’m pretty fired up to get there and hopefully have a solid race after showing the speed we did in Charlotte.” – Daniel Hemric on World Wide Technology Raceway
