Joe Nemechek: Teams
built 628 days ago
When he wasn't racing, Nemechek served as the front-tire changer on Joe's pit crew, and was on Joe's 1992 Busch Series Championship winning team. Still, John wanted to race in NASCAR like Joe was, but faced obstacles due to his limited experience. Fortunately, NASCAR created a new top series, the Craftsman Truck Series, and John began running the series immediately. In the first year of competition, John ran 16 races and had two top-ten finishes. He followed that up with two more top-tens in 1996 and a thirteenth place finish in points, running a single truck he built himself titled The War Wagon under his own team, Chek Racing, Inc.
