AJ ALLMENDINGER

“I’m looking forward to getting back in the Cup car at Bristol. Bristol is a racetrack we’ve had success at in 2022 so hopefully we can learn from the things we have done well. Last year we had speed in practice, but had an incident early in the race. I’m excited to see what we can make happen.” – AJ Allmendinger on Bristol Motor Speedway

DANIEL HEMRIC

“I’ve always loved Bristol. The timing of the race is going to be fun seeing how the track changes and evolves from the beginning of the weekend and throughout the mid parts of the race. You go through such a big swing, so we’re going to build some versatility within our car. Hopefully we can give ourselves an opportunity to contend as the laps wind down. It’s a long event, but it’s one of the most fun ones we run.” – Daniel Hemric on Bristol Motor Speedway  

No. 31 Cirkul Camaro ZL1

  • Daniel Hemric has made two NCS starts at Bristol Motor Speedway and has earned one top-15 finish.
