KANSAS CITY, Kan. – John Hunter Nemechek will start first Saturday at Kansas Speedway in search of his third NASCAR Camping World Truck Series win of the season. Lap speed is weighted at 15 percent, previous race finish at 25 percent for the driver and owner results and owner points position at 35 percent to calculate the final metric score. Nemechek earned the pole with a metric score of 1.3, factoring in his win from Richmond (Va.) Raceway, the third-fastest lap from that event and his top seeding in the owner point standings after six of 22 races this season. The 23-year-old’s boss, Kyle Busch Motorsports owner Kyle Busch, will roll off second in his penultimate Truck Series start of the season.
