John Hunter Nemechek starts the hot start with Top-10 in Atlanta

John Hunter Nemechek was one of the pleasant surprises in the first two races of the 2025 Nascar Cup Series. Last Sunday, Nemechek recorded a 10th place in the Ambetter Health 400 in the Atlanta Motor Speedway, its second top 10 place in a row to reach the new season.

Nemechek started from the 22nd position in Atlanta last weekend, but wasted little time to work forward. Although Nemechek was able to move in the lead pack on the 1.54-mile speedway in the 1.54 mile speedway, Nemechek narrowly missed in the opening level of the event when Joey Logano moved for the 10th position in the final around Nemechek Round of the stage.

The driver of the Toyota Camry XSE No. 42 would be mixed in the back half of the field in the second stage and would not take any level points again, but he would continue to keep his car in a race that continues to keep it clean Intensity rates and increasingly in the evening.

Nemechek would stay away from the slaughter that unfolds in the last parts of the race and went into the restart of overtime, Nemechek was in the 11th position.

In the hectic last round, Nemechek knife on the inside of the route as an accident on the back stretch. Bubba Wallace would summarize and collide with the side of Nemecheks No. 42 machine, but Nemechek could have his car rolled without incidents.

As a result, he would cross the finish line, and after Nascar had decreased and the finish had checked, Nemechek was attributed to a 10th place.

“I am not sure where we were officially evaluated, but what P10 looks like,” said Nemechek after the wild finish. “Solid day. He was really proud of Hayden (Reeves, Spotter) and worked hard today. Much more intensely than daytona. Hats in front of all men and women in the Legacy Motor Club. Street crew, pit crew – everyone did a solid job all day. We were able to keep it all day and save another top 10. Two really good runs to start the season and look forward to Cota next week. “

A season ago, the Legacy Motor Club driver collected only four top 10 places. Two races in the 2025 campaign, Nemechek, is already half of the total. According to the successive solid results, Nemechek is in the NASCAR Cup series championship classification in the third race of the season.

After two events in the super-speedway style that had started the year, Nemechek and his team will bring the equipment to a way of thinking for street racing, while the Nascar Cup series in Austin, TX, goes to the racetrack of America. Nemechek is excited to go to Cota and hopes to continue to ward off great results.

“I think Cota will be a great race,” said Nemechek in a publication by Legacy Motor Club race. “I spoke to a few people who led the average, including Shan van Gisbergen, who drove this layout in the Supercar series–has many unique properties and bumps, while the rest of the route is quite smooth. The shorter course will also make the mine strategy more interesting. No. 42 Legacy Motor Club team had a fantastic start to the season, and everyone is being amazed. We concentrate on the upcoming race, control what we can do and continue to deliver strong surfaces. “

Travis Mack, who took over the new crew leader from Nemechek this season, has an enormous background to the successful background of the success of the road courses of the Indianapolis Road Course with Suarez in 2023 and the Charlotte Roval with Shan van Gisbergen in 2024.

Mack hopes that this weekend he can help to continue the needle for the emerging team from Nemechek and No. 42.

“The poles I have in my career came on road courses. Just bring my knowledge of road course -and hopefully we can get John Hunter [Nemechek] Good performance on the same side and in the next few weeks, ”said Mack.

If you can maintain the swing, there is a very realistic chance that Nemechek, who in the NASCAR Cup series Championship 2024 took 33th place last season.
