Goodyear 400 Results: Tyler Reddick Races to 4th Win in 2026, Brad Keselowski Finishes 2nd

Finishes 17th on Sunday Nemechek finished 17th in Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series DuraMAX Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas.

Impact Nemechek scored his best finish of the 2026 season on Sunday, bringing the No. 42 Toyota home in 17th place at COTA. Nemechek, who started the day in 31st, managed to charge forward during the first stage, setting himself up for his best-ever finish at the track. He'll look to build on this result next weekend at Phoenix Raceway where Nemechek has just one career finish better than 25th, which was a 14th in last season's spring race.

Big Mover at Darlington Nemechek finished fourth in the Cook Out Southern 500 NASCAR Cup Series race at Darlington Raceway on Sunday night.

Impact Nemechek would be the big mover of the night at Darlington Raceway. He'd start 30th on the grid and move quickly through the field to crack the Top 10 by the conclusion of stage 1. Nemechek had a fast Toyota and would lead 15 laps for the evening at the Track Too Tough to Tame. He'd settle into the Top 5 down the stretch and hold off AJ Allmendinger to earn the strong fourth-place. It was just his second Top 5 of the season.

Nemechek would collect an impressive fifth-place finish.
