McAnally-Hilgemann Racing has confirmed that Christian Eckes and Daniel Hemric will return to its NASCAR truck programme for the 2027 season.
Eckes will continue in the No. 91 Chevrolet and Hemric in the No. 19. The team announced the retained pairing on 3 November after both drivers qualified for the 2026 Chase in two of MHR’s three entries.
The agreement also preserves a significant part of the programme’s commercial base. NAPA Auto Care will continue its relationship with team owner Bill McAnally for a 37th year, together with participating NAPA suppliers. MHR said Columbia Bank and Motion will rejoin the organisation with increased involvement, although it did not define that increase or publish race entitlements.
Retaining both drivers and their car numbers gives the team continuity in engineering feedback, crew preparation and sponsor activation. The announcement does not confirm the remainder of MHR’s 2027 line-up, and the team said further details will follow. MRI has therefore not inferred a third driver or additional entry.
No contract lengths, compensation, sponsor values, crew-chief assignments or technical changes were disclosed. The confirmed update is the return of Eckes and Hemric, their established numbers and the named commercial support for the 2027 programme.
