Legacy Motor Club's Short-Track Speed Will Likely Hold John H. Nemechek Back
John Hunter Nemechek had one strong run at Bristol, where he started 26th and finished sixth in the chaotic 2024 spring event, but that race was unlike any other Bristol race in history and can't reasonably be used to predict anything on Saturday. In the two significantly more boring Bristol races that followed (which are more likely to resemble Saturday's race), Nemechek was a total non-factor, earning his worst two finishes here of 33rd and 21st. Nemechek has been a little faster this year than in any year previous, and his 19th-place qualifying run is his best here on speed, but he probably isn't going to run well enough to lead many laps or earn many fastest-lap points, nor did he qualify poorly enough to make him a great place-differential option. His expected middling performance makes him a pretty poor DFS option.
