An eruption occurred at 8:11 p.m. Mountain Time Saturday (Nov. 6) at Phoenix Raceway.
The exact location: the pit box for Joe Gibbs Racing’s No. 18 Xfinity Series Toyota.
The cause: Daniel Hemric slamming doors with Austin Cindric and beating him to the checkered flag and the win.
“It’s really quiet in here, I just came from a party.”
Thus began the most memorable post-race press conference in recent NASCAR history.
As he entered the deadline room of the Phoenix Raceway media center draped in a decorative towel, self-admitted lightweight Ben Rhodes was four Bud Lights and a “decent” amount of champagne deep into his celebration as the newest NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champion.
Daniel Hemric got a call from crew chief Dave Rogers around 9 a.m. Friday (Nov. 5) in Phoenix.
“Hey, I’m sure you’ve heard already,” Rogers said.
Hemric, who had been off his phone and “off the radar” during the buildup to the Xfinity Series’ championship race on Saturday (Nov. 6), hadn’t heard anything.
For roughly an hour Friday (Nov. 5) at Phoenix Raceway, NASCAR President Steve Phelps addressed media members and took questions regarding the state of the sport and NASCAR’s future.
When it comes to the NASCAR Xfinity Series Championship 4, Daniel Hemric has been here and done that.
