Liberty National to Sponsor Hemric in Select 2019 Races

By Seth Eggert, Staff Writer

The 2019 sponsorship picture for Daniel Hemric is coming together as Liberty National Life Insurance Company extends their partnership with Richard Childress Racing. Liberty National first entered the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series in 2017 sponsoring Trevor Bayne. The company will sponsor Hemric in select 2019 races.

Prior to the Bank of America ROVAL 400 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, RCR announced that Hemric will take the wheel of the organization’s second car, currently No. 31, replacing the departing Ryan Newman. He has two career starts in NASCAR’s Premier Series, with a best finish of 23^rd. To date, Hemric has yet to earn a victory in any of NASCAR’s three National Series.

“Liberty National is thrilled to continue our partnership with Richard Childress Racing in 2019,” said Steve DiChiaro, president and CEO of Liberty National. “This year, we’re proud to cheer on Daniel Hemric taking the wheel with the No. 31 Liberty National Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.

“This partnership with RCR enables us to give Agents, business partners, and customers VIP at-track experiences, and 2019 will be even better with bigger contests and incentives for those associated with Liberty National.”

The company has adorned Newman’s No. 31 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 three times this season. Liberty National’s best finish with RCR, ninth, came in Las Vegas Motor Speedway’s Playoff race. The company was on Bayne’s Roush Fenway Ford Fusion for his third-place finish at Talladega Superspeedway last season.

“Last night in Texas, Steve DiChiaro and Richard (Childress) announced our 2019 plans to Liberty National agency owners at their annual meeting. It was a great opportunity to give the agency owners a chance to meet Daniel in person. This partnership is evolving, and it is our goal to continue to help Liberty National recruit new Agents and customers.

“We’ve also exposed the Liberty National brand and products to millions of NASCAR fans,” said Torrey Galida, president of RCR. “We look forward growing its footprint and hosting their Agents and customers at the races and at RCR next season.”

Hemric is currently third in the NASCAR Xfinity Series Points Standings, 31-Points from the lead, and two points ahead of the cutoff. He has 13 top-five and 19 top-10 finishes this season, as well as three pole positions.

The next race for the NASCAR Xfinity Series will be the Kansas Lottery 300 at Kansas Speedway, Saturday, October 20. There Hemric will look to earn that elusive first career victory, and a guaranteed spot in the Championship Four at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
