LEXINGTON, N.C. (March 2, 2022) – Kaulig Racing and Daniel Hemric will team up with Las Vegas-based South Point Hotel & Casino for both the NASCAR Cup Series (NCS) and NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) races at Las Vegas Motor Speedway this weekend.
South Point Hotel & Casino, a longtime partner of Hemric’s, will be the primary partner on his No. 11 Chevrolet this weekend for the Alsco Uniforms 300, as well as the primary partner on his No. 16 Camaro ZL1 the following day for the Pennzoil 400.
Hemric, who has seven starts at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the NXS, has earned three top five-finishes at the track, one of which came with partner, South Point Hotel & Casino in 2020.
“South Point Hotel and Casino, as well as the Gaughan family, have been loyal partners of mine for quite a few years,” said Hemric. “I’m super thankful to them for wanting to continue our friendship and partnership and share with me the vision we have at Kaulig Racing.”
With a rich history spanning over two decades throughout NASCAR, South Point Hotel & Casino is thrilled to team up with Kaulig Racing and the reigning NXS champion, Daniel Hemric.
“We are excited to grow our partnership with Daniel Hemric and Kaulig Racing for both Las Vegas races this 2022 NASCAR season, said Ryan Growney, General Manager of South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa. “The entire South Point family is looking forward to cheering on Hemric and his team.”
In the NXS alone, Kaulig Racing has earned one win, two top five and 11 top-10 finishes at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This weekend’s Pennzoil 400 will mark Kaulig Racing’s first start at the track in the NCS.
“We’re thrilled to have South Point Hotel & Casino onboard in Las Vegas this weekend for both races,” said team president, Chris Rice. “We have been loyal customers of theirs for the past few of years, and they have displayed industry-wide hospitality that is unmatched. We are excited to be able to continue our great relationship with South Point this year for our first, full-season in the NASCAR Cup Series.”
