What’s Happening?

McAnally-Hilgemann Racing is making a major change atop the pit box of two of their NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series teams ahead of this weekend’s race at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park.

• Though it’s a major race weekend for the Cup and Xfinity Series, this weekend also marks the return of the Craftsman Truck Series after an almost month-long break. With this return, McAnally-Hilgemann Racing is making major changes, swapping Crew Chiefs for their No. 19 and No. 91 trucks.
• With this move, Kevin Bellicourt, who has called the shots for Jack Wood this season, will switch places with Daniel Hemric’s Crew Chief, Josh Graham, for the rest of the season. This move follows a solid start for Hemric and a disappointing one for Wood.
• Bellicourt is a veteran Crew Chief who has worked in all three National Series, including three Truck Series wins with Justin Haley in 2018. But this season, the veteran and Wood have a 19.3 average finish and one top-ten finish.
• Graham took over for current 23XI Racing Crew Chief Charles Denike, who took the No. 19 team to new heights with Christian Eckes in 2024. The former Xfinity Series Crew Chief has had a stellar year with veteran Daniel Hemric, winning one race while maintaining the second-best average finish among full-time truck series drivers.
