John Hunter Nemechek Could Benefit From Toyota Speed Like he Did at Darlington
John Hunter Nemechek only started one race at Gateway last year in the NASCAR Cup Series where he started 33rd and finished 27th, but he and Legacy Motor Club have both been a lot faster this year and he qualified 20th this time. Nemechek has won here at the Craftsman Truck Series level way back in 2017, but that probably isn't useful in forecasting him for today's race. However, the speed Nemechek showed at Darlington last week where he finished fourth may carry over since both Darlington and Gateway are egg-shaped ovals and he and his teammate were both very fast at Darlington. Furthermore, since Toyotas dominated at Darlington and somewhat dominated yesterday's qualifying session, Nemechek may be likely to be fast, especially since he has tended to be faster in the race than qualifying. He might be worth a flyer for DFS, but his 20th-place starting position may be a bit too strong for that.
