2 hours agoAlthough John Hunter Nemechek only qualified 31st for today's Kansas race, he does have a better finishing record there than at most other tracks. His average finish of 16.3 at Kansas is better than his average finish at any other non-drafting oval and he has also won two NASCAR Xfinity Series races and one NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at the track. However, much of his NASCAR Cup Series performance is likely luck since he hasn't had a crash DNF there unlike many other tracks, not to mention that his 13th-place finish last spring was far better than he ran because he got lucky due to caution timing. He only qualified 31st for today's race far behind Erik Jones, so while he'll probably finish better than that, he still doesn't have as much speed at the track where his father won 20 years ago as his record makes it look.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
