John Hunter Nemechek Has Fastest Legacy Car, But That's Not Saying A Lot
1 day agoJohn Hunter Nemechek earned his best starting position at Martinsville by qualifying 16th on Saturday, but although he definitely looks a little better this year than last year, his Martinsville Cup Series performances have not been inspiring as his finishes and average running positions were actually worse last year for Legacy Motor Club than they were for Front Row Motorsports in his rookie season. He did earn a dominant win in the Xfinity Series here in 2023, but that came for a Joe Gibbs Racing team that has won with all kinds of Cup Series underachievers. He did significantly outqualify his teammate Erik Jones, but the Legacy Motor Club cars rarely look fast on short tracks. Nemechek will likely outrun Jones, but based on how they currently run of late, it's hard to imagine Nemechek not losing positions in the race.
