Heading into the Brickyard 400 race weekend, many people had their eye on John Hunter Nemechek, as the Legacy Motor Club driver just had his best race of the season one month ago at Pocono, qualifying fourth and finishing sixth when it was all said and done. Pocono is a very similar track to Indianapolis, and at the start of the weekend, it looked like Nemechek would have similar speed for the Brickyard 400 on Sunday, as the No. 42 Toyota was second-fastest in practice. Things to a turn for the worse in qualifying, though, as Nemechek hit the wall and ended up 36th-fastest out of 39 cars. The team will have to repair the car (or go to a backup), but that just made Nemechek be an easy decision for DFS players this weekend. At just $6,200 on DraftKings and with such high Place Differential upside, John Hunter Nemechek is one of the best low-dollar options on the DFS slate this weekend. Nemechek had legitimate top-10 speed in this race last season and finished 15th here in 2020 with Front Row Motorsports.--Jordan McAbee
