Hemric and Eckes return to McAnally-Hilgemann Racing Truck Series line-up for 2027

McAnally-Hilgemann Racing has confirmed Daniel Hemric and Christian Eckes will drive its No. 19 and No. 91 Chevrolet Silverados in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in 2027. The announcement was made on Tuesday, with NAPA Auto Care named as a primary sponsor for both entries, marking its 37th year of partnership with team owner Bill McAnally. Columbia Bank and Motion also return, with the team describing their involvement as increased.

Hemric said the team and his sponsors grew stronger as the 2026 season progressed, despite a slow start. He has three top-five finishes and 11 top-10s this season and made The Chase. Eckes, a nine-time Truck Series race winner, has nine top-fives and 15 top-10 finishes this year, and said the speed shown in the second half of the season gives the team confidence heading into 2027.
