For others, it was a much more mediocre day at the track, however. For example, John Hunter Nemechek came home in 20th place for Legacy Motor Club.

There was absolutely nothing mediocre about Nemechek's paint scheme, though, running with an image of Grammy-nominated artist Backstreet Boys on the front of his car.

The No. 42's paint scheme promoted the band's recently announced residency, "Into The Millennium," at the Sphere in Las Vegas, which starts in July.
