Back then, John Hunter Nemechek was competing in the Xfinity Series for Joe Gibbs Racing and Sam Hunt Racing, following his departure from Front Row Motorsports where he drove the #38 car. He clinched a victory at the Andy's Frozen Custard 335 race in Texas that same year in the Xfinity Series. This year also as a part-time Joe Gibbs Racing Xfinity driver, John Hunter Nemechek has already won two races of the 10 starts.
His most viewed YouTube video, posted 10 months ago, features the big reveal that he would return to the Cup series as a full-time Cup driver for Legacy Motor Club in 2024. The announcement drove his video to gain over 20,000 views. Celebrating this milestone with his X followers, he posted a video with the teaser caption "👀."
Reflecting on this, fans expressed:
"More subs than lando Norris lmao," who has 1.1 million followers.
Additionally, many appreciated his content on YouTube.
"Just noticed 1 of your shorts has 28M views 0____0 How did you not get more subs," one fan said.
"Niiiice!!! Love the channel!" said another.
"Congratulations! Love the videos every week. It's something that I wish more drivers would do, but I'm super happy for you," another NASCAR fan wrote.
"Congratulations, man. The plaque looks sick," wrote one.
However, one fan had a different query and comment from the others.
"When you gonna get one for passing a car?" a fan wrote
John Hunter Nemechek gets penalized at the Chicago Street Race.
After finding an engine issue during the post-inspection of John Hunter Nemechek's #20 car, the team decided to switch engines to remain competitive. However, according to NASCAR regulations, any modifications to the car after passing the initial inspection require the car to start from the back of the field. NBC's Dustin Long shared the update on X (formerly known as Twitter), indicating the challenge Nemechek would face. He reported:
"John Hunter Nemechek will start at the rear in Saturday's Xfinity race at Chicago. The No. 20 JGR car passed inspection Friday but the team found a potential problem and changed engines. That will force him to start at the rear Saturday."
Despite the disadvantage of starting from the rear, John Hunter Nemechek managed to finish the race in 25th place. The 27-year-old is currently ranked 30th after 20 starts in the regular season.
