Darlington has the nickname "The Track Too Tought To Tame" for a reason. For many Cup Series drivers, it's hard to find success at "The Lady in Black," and that is true for Joh Hunter Nemechek. Although he did pull off a ninth-place finish back in 2020 at Darlington (while driving for Front Row Motorsports), Nemechek has struggled in every race here since, with four results of 30th or worse over his last five starts at the track. His best finish? A 25th-palce result in last year's Southern 500, although his 18th-place starting spot probably helped that a little bit. This weekend, Nemechek will roll off the starting grid from 30th-place when Sunday's Southern 500 goes green, and it's likely that the struggles will continue for this No. 42 Legacy Motor Club team. JHN is a cheap DFS option this weekend ($5,700 on DraftKings) with some Place Differential upside, but due to his struggles at Darlington historically, it's probably best to limit your exposure to the Toyota driver.--Jordan McAbee
