Joe Nemechek: Ginn Racing
built 230 days ago
Ginn Racing looking for sponsors: The jet black Ginn Racing Chevrolets of #13-Joe Nemechek and #14-Sterling Marlin have no primary sponsors this weekend. Why not? Very simple: The team is trying to illustrate that it needs sponsors for some races in the second half of the season on the two cars, it has “available inventory” in the form of unsold primary sponsorships for the remainder of 2007. Team spokesman David Ferroni said normally the team would simply run Ginn Resorts logos on the car, but by keeping them sponsor-free, it tells all the would-be backers out there that there is room at the inn – or at least on the hood and the fenders at Ginn Racing right now.(SPEEDtv.com), NOTE: the Panasonic sponsorship was supposed to be for 24 races, but has been rarely seen this year, was on the car in like, two races.(6-30-2007)

Joe Nemechek, released earlier this season by Ginn Racing, has been driving for Furniture Row Racing. Nemechek, nicknamed Front Row Joe because of his ability to qualify near the front of the field, has qualified for the past five races in the Denver-based team's No. 78 Chevrolet. Nemechek recently talked with Rocky NASCAR reporter Jim Benton.

Known as Front Row Joe for his qualifying prowess, Nemechek has enjoyed both success and popularity since joining the NASCAR Cup circuit full time in 1994. The Lakeland, Florida, native has visited Victory Lane four times and has garnered 61 top 10 rankings and earnings of more than $28 million. He joined Ginn Racing in October 2003.

In the middle of the 2007 season, Nemechek was released from Ginn Racing. He signed a three-year deal with Furniture Row Racing Team later on in the season and raced his first race for owner, Barney Visser, on September 2. Nemechek finished 2007 37th in Cup standings with one top-10 finish (9th in the Daytona 500 on Feb. 18, 2007).

The Tampa Tribune is reporting Nemechek is scheduled to become a free agent at the end of the year and he would like to stay with Ginn Racing. However, if things don't work out at Ginn, Nemechek does not have a Plan B and is still looking for a sponsor to help run his Busch team.

Nemechek has driven for the team previously known as MB2 Motorsports since late 2003. After Florida developer Bobby Ginn purchased the team last year, a third car was added for 2007, and Nemechek was moved out of the flagship No. 01 Chevy into the new No. 13 car.
