Having solid racing talent doesn’t always promise success or even a good career for drivers in the in the NASCAR Cup Series. Due to change in market and the drop in revenue, some teams are forced to overlook prodigies for drivers that can bring more sponsorship revenue to the team, that will help them to stabilize their operations.
The most recent victim of the trend is Daniel Hemric of Kaulig Racing. It was announced that, he will be replaced by Ty Dillon in 2024. Dillon, who had a disappointing 2024 season in the Truck Series after going their hoping for redemption following his sacking from Spire Motorsports in 2023, was given the seat main because of the sponsorship he can bring to the table.

Cup racing, the pinnacle of our sport. I will forever love and appreciate the process of what it takes to prepare, both physically and mentally to compete on Sundays. However, I will not return to Kaulig Racing in 2025 to continue that process.
Daniel Hemric wrote on X.
The star driver, who has secured four top-10 finishes in 2024 despite Kaluig’s struggles, shared his gratitude towards the team owners. He admitted that he and his family is gratful to the team for giving him a chance at redemption in the top-tier after filming in his rookie year with RCR in 2019. He was given the seat because of his impressive Xfinity exploits, but failed to make the best of it.
My family and I are sincerely grateful to Matt Kaulig and Chris Rice, as well as everyone at Kaulig Racing and Kaulig Companies, for welcoming me into their organization a few years ago, and giving me the rare opportunity to get back to the top level of the sport.

The desire to win on Sundays will always burn inside of me. I’m focused and full of intention to finish the last 7 races of this season as strong as we can, while continuing to build on whatever the next chapter of this journey holds for me. Matthew 17:20.
