John Hunter Nemechek qualified 26th for this weekend's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Although he did outqualify his teammate, Erik Jones, don't expect either of the Legacy Motor Club cars to do much in the race. Jones is likely still feeling the brunt of his injury from Talladega, while Nemechek has been mediocre for the entire season as he still struggles to learn the Next Gen car (just like his predecessor Noah Gragson did in the same ride). Additionally, intermediate tracks have not been one of Nemechek's stronger suits in the Cup Series, as he hasn't particularly had a strong run on them all season. While Nemechek has won at Charlotte before in the Craftsman Truck Series, it seems likely that Nemechek won't build up speed on intermediates until he's figured out this chassis, which might take him another year, as it did for Gragson. With that being said, at only $6,000 on DraftKings, Nemechek makes for an interesting low-dollar DFS option on Sunday, especially since he finished 13th at Kansas earlier this month.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
