The Odyssey of Daniel Hemric 

In fact. He was so consistent in 2018, under Racing Reference non Playoff points for the 2018 Xfinity Series he would’ve WON THE TITLE.

The greatest “one hit wonder” in all of nascar, the one time he won, it earned him a championship. Hemric may have only won once throughout the 3 series, but his consistency (mainly Xfinity) is insane.

His story was basically like a racing movie plot when you think about it

Another banger, keep it up

I'll never forget attending the 2019 Daytona 500 and having garage passes with it. I remember going to Hemric's hauler and saw he was outside it signing autographs. I asked if he would sign my card I had of him and he did with a big bright smile on his face. Since that day I had always been a Daniel Hemric fan and stayed with him through so much heartbreak. When he won that race and that Championship, I released a scream of happiness and joy that I have only let out a few times in my life. Though he only has won one race as of now, it is one that made everything he wanted possible. I have stayed a Hemric fan through thick and thin, and I am not stopping anytime soon.

I believe I once heard if Hemric didn’t finish top 5 driving the 18, he wouldn’t get paid. It’s incredible how cut throat this sport is and how hard you have to fight for everything and every opportunity. Your editing is getting better and better with every video. Keep up the fantastic work Elly!

One of the best moments in NASCAR history at any level. "ONE MORE SHOT!" gives me as many chills as Gasly winning his first race if F1.

Being a Hemric fan is hard. Man’s been insane consistent his entire career. Beat Reddick on equal equipment in 2016, would’ve won the 2018 Xfinity title under full season points, and was dropped after just one season by RCR. (Which was one of RCR's worst in recent memory, even for Dillon). 2021 was so freaking hard to watch right till the end. Races like Atlanta, Charlotte, Texas, Martinsville, all of them he could’ve won but luck just didn’t allow. That title in the end, though he wasn’t the most deserving of it.. he deserved something at the end of the day.

"Crazy Videos Taken Moments Before DISASTER!" Well played.

i remember being at that race in 2021. Best race ive ever gone to. When daniel hemric made the pass out of 4 for the win, everyone in the stands was in shock. It was like we never witnessed anything like that before.

I was at Auto Club 2022 and he was 6 laps down in the 16 car with technical problems all day long. He was in the pits more than I was in my seat. I’m still trying to figure out how he finished in 9th. What a dawg.

Someone should make a legit holly wood movie about his story up to that point, I think if they can film it right, it could be a really good NASCAR movie

He's so consistent, and managed to rise through the ranks because of it. I think RCR would have kept him if he had been more consistent in Cup.

Suprised you didn't talk about Matt Crafton, as he won a championship without winning in 2019.

I remember watching the 2021 finale and honestly I didn't expect Hemric - a racer with 0 wins to become a champion. So yeah... Anything is possible.

That one night in Phoenix is the reason why I love Motorsports. The result isn't decided yet, and nobody can completely predict it, until cars and its driver actually cross the line.

“You’ll never have to answer that stupid question again”

I will always remember watching and going nuts after seeing the Hemric with that Championship pass! That will always be one of the greatest passes for the win in history.

The loudest I’ve ever screamed at a tv was the hail melon and the 2021 xfinity championship finish

Absolutely beautifully done, and the ending was amazing, bloody hell I think you're turning me into a NASCAR fan now

These videos are incredible, so detailed and so well put together at the same time, and always tell a story very well. Hemric absolutely deserved that title, you could say that all his bad luck was just leading up to the biggest moment of his life.

Hemrics win for the championship was imo one of the best championship finishes ive ever seen. It was edge of your seat exciting

Him winning the title in 2021 was so awesome to see

Man that F-zero and Maximum Carnage OST hit me right in the feels. Great video as always, love to see more content like this.

I was at the season finale race at Phoenix, and I was just praying that Hemric would finally get the win, and he did... I was so happy when he won...

i'm a F1 fan i watch some other motorsports but never had watched nascar before but tbh ur videos keeps pushing me to starting watching the sport and i already bought nascar heat 5 to try and understand the racing

This is by far the greatest NASCAR channel on RU-vid. The storytelling, the graphics, fantastic editing, nobody else is close. Look forward to more in the future!

I was at that race, was my first xfinity race, first night race, and first short track. Only races I’ve been prior is Sonoma every year, Daytona and Talladega. Sitting right at the start finish line and seeing that was awesome

As a Hemric myself I waited along time for that first win. More will come.

Fantastic job on this video. I love it! I never really payed attention to Daniel Hemric and never rooted for him either. But this gave me a great view on his journey to an Xfinity champion. Well done

Man I watched this season and the championship still one of the craziest endings ever

That days of thunder clip with Joe and Riley had me rolling!!! 🤣🤣🤣

You have made some of the best nascar documentaries out there. I hope to see more up the woodworks soon.

Love the Carl Edwards Backflip he did to seal it too.

Please do more Driver stories

Oh my god man, seriously. WHAT AMAZING QUALITY! Your channel is now one of the best nascar channels on RU-vid right now! Great job!

I really enjoyed this video, the dramatic ending at the championship race was super well edited too

I keep looking at your subscriber count and feel amazed that you only have 14K subscribers. Your videos are absolutely amazing, I love the occasional goofy edits and overall just having fun with it, it's quality levels I'd expect from a channel with a few hundred thousand subs.

This channel really has helped resurge my love for NASCAR since I started watching the sport almost two decades ago. Keep doing what you're doing. 👌🏻

Great video man I was actually just thinking about hemric's career last night keep up the good work

awesome stuff, i really love these type of videos

Damn dude, your videos are sick and your editing is great. I don't normally watch NASCAR but you're certainly bringing me round

Your voice narrating, your story telling, and your editing are fabulous sir. It’s baffling that you have limited followers. Thank you for what you provide

beautifully done. you’re quickly becoming one of my favorite content creators out there

I was just rewatching your last few videos and then this one showed up in my recommended. Nice!

Just found your channel - enjoying the unique style of your nascar content. Keep it up

This is awesome please keep making them.

Goddamn your videos, voice, commentary, everything. Just beautiful

another banger video

I liked the Car shop 22 scheme 👀👀

If I have to be completely honest, before his winning title, I just thought Hemric was that lucky but also unlucky driver, and I kinda still believe that. He proved to show some good stats throughout his tenure which got him into the cup series (even though he sucked); however until that faithful night when he won it over Cindric, he had never won a single race in any of the divisions, not even any expedition races. He has some good talent, he just can't win. Which is why (possible unpopular opinion here) that he should have stayed with JGR for another season or two, because with the current state of the team, they need any drivers they can get for the inevitable retirement of Hamlin and Truex (or something different). But instead he went to Kaulig, which honestly was a big disappointment in my opinion. Sure he was in the car that could only win on superspeedways, but still. I really do hope Hemric enjoys he time in NASCAR and does something other than winning a 2nd tier series title by feet. Because at this rate, he looks to be forgotten in the future.

I'm from Kannapolis, just like him and the Earnhardts. I remember that name being thrown around a lot. It's so cool to see it come to fruition.

Great job, really enjoyed this.

Superbe video and Amazing choice of musics (I love the New super Mario Bros Wii castle orchestra one it makes this moment just so Epic )

with you nascar is not so boring... keep it up

your videos make me want to make videos. very impressive keep it up!

Nice dive with this vid, goodjob!!

The Eminem reference 🤌 chefs kiss. Great video elly.

pretty please post more these are my favorite vids on youtube

You have really good taste in video game soundtracks.

Daniel should drive the 31 in 2024 for Kaulig.

these videos are amazing

2021 was arguably, the greatest year in Motorsports In F1: one of the greatest championship battles ever In Cup: a disgraced driver comes back to win the title In Xfinity: The last lap pass that led to a first win, and a first championship In Trucks: (what happened in trucks again) There are likely other stories as well, I just don’t know them

I love him sooo much ❤

It's a good day to have another new EP video

Fantastic video man!!

The back flip

I just found out Daniel Hemric actually won a race let alone a whole championship.

one shot. one opportunity. to seize everything you ever wanted in one moment. would you capture or just let it slip?

What version of bowser”s castle did you use at the end

"You play to win the game."

I love these videos

I was at that race I was freaking out

What was the music you used for the final restart of the championship race?

Other racers: I race to win, i want to win week in and week out. Me who bracket races (drag racing): As long as it's a good race, i don't mind losing.

Always found it wild that he won ROTY (albeit with a weak class) and didn't have a ride the next year. You'd think a minor team would at least put a bid in

14:36 and thats how hemric'ing has created

Looking back at this video Sheldon Creed will might break the runner up record

What’s that song at the end of the video I wanna have it on my Spotify playlist

Speaking of him. He flipped at Talladega

Not the goofy ahh sounds tho sksksks

I was there for that championship it was electric best race I’ve been too

You a legend if u beat Cindric💀💀

Subbed

I really thought after he finally broke through the flood gates would open especially when he joined kauilig And then kaulig was just shit this year

0:47 Wow.

Also remember at Gibbs he only got paid when he scored top 5s He bet on himself and he won What a story

To this day, it's hilarious how Hemric took the car that finished last in the chase with zero stage wins and 15 laps led in 2020, to winning the championship the next year as well as leading laps and scoring stage wins. Herbst took the car that won 9 races in 2020, to back-to-back first round exits with zero stage wins in that span. And the best part is that Herbst now has cup cars to tear up!

me wondering what the song on the bristol part is

I caught the reference at 10:06 that was disastrous

GG hemric

First race on Sunday let’s gooooo

Hemorrhoids exposed a horribly broken playoff system.

Wow this was a marvel to watch. Anyway I would love to see you make a video about Chase Elliott and his struggles all the way to being a cup series champion

Xfinity just in General put on storybook seasons too Point I probably wasn’t the only one cared more about the Xfinity phoenix Championship race last year than cups

10:06 Lets-a go!

Almost the Fernando Alonso of nascar

W video

14:36 I thought he could never have gotten close enough there but...

54 was dominated in 2021 then In 2023 the 10 is dominated
