Daniel Hemric will be moving to Brad Keselowski Racing in 2016, driving the team's No. 19 Ford F-150 full-time in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. The team also released the rest of their driver lineup for 2016.
"Our main goal is to build off our momentum from 2015 and pursue a championship with two great full-time drivers," team owner Brad Keselowski said in a team release. "Both Tyler and Daniel have shown a lot of success on the race track and have more than earned this opportunity. We have two of the best drivers in the Series running on a full-time basis and I'm really happy about that and very optimistic about our future and chance for success in 2016."
According to the release, Keselowski said that he will look for a third Truck to field with a number of drivers, meaning more than one. This season, Reddick was in the No. 29 full-time, while the No. 19 has fielded drivers such as Joey Logano, Austin Theriault, Ryan Blaney, and a few other drivers.
Hemric, 24 is in his first full-time season in the Truck Series as a Sunoco Rookie of the Year candidate with NTS Motorsports. He is currently seventh in the standings with four top fives and 12 top 10s. Reddick, 19, is currently third in the point standings this year for BKR and has two wins on the season.
"When the opportunity was available with Brad Keselowski Racing and all of our great partners, it seemed like a good deal for everyone concerned," Hemric said in a team release. "It's an honor to team up with Brad and to have common goals when you go to the race track: win races and put yourself in contention for a championship. To be able to insert yourself on a championship contending team and a team that has a solid baseline on what they need every weekend."
