Emerling Builds on Strong Debut with Spire Motorsports
Patrick Emerling, who hails from Orchard Park, New York, returns following his June debut with Spire Motorsports at Pocono Raceway. There, Emerling piloted the No. 07 Chevrolet Silverado to a personal best 15th-place finish in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series. His performance adds to an impressive record at New Hampshire, where the veteran driver boasts nine top-five finishes and twelve top-10s in the Whelen Modified Tour, including his 2019 victory in the Whelen Engineering All-Star Shootout.
In addition to his modified achievements, Emerling brings experience from four NASCAR Xfinity Series races at New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS), with a best finish of 14th in 2023, and one previous Truck Series race at the Loudon venue in 2017, where he placed 23rd.
Emerling Looks Forward to Multi-Series Challenge
“I’m thrilled to be back with Spire Motorsports in the No. 7 truck at New Hampshire Motor Speedway,”
said Patrick Emerling.
“We had a really strong run at Pocono, and I expect to build on that. New Hampshire has always been a good track for me. I’ll be doing double-duty in the Whelen Modified Tour earlier that day, so that will give me a good opportunity to figure out the track. I’m proud to have SciAps join us for the race. I’ve known Don Sackett for several years, and he’s always been a strong supporter of mine.”
—Patrick Emerling, Spire Motorsports Driver
Emerling’s credentials also include 59 NASCAR Xfinity Series starts and he continues to compete on a part-time basis with SS Green Light Racing in the development ranks of the sport.
