built 659 days ago
On January 9, 2004, Wimmer signed to drive for MB Motorsports in the Craftsman Truck Series. Piloting the #63 Dave Porter Truck Sales Ford, Wimmer debuted at Mansfield Motorsports Speedway in early April. In the season he competed in twelve races; his best finish was 18th at Kansas Speedway. The following season, he was left without a ride before coming to an agreement with Green Light Racing in June 2005. He raced the #07 Chevrolet at the Milwaukee Mile. He would go on to race five more events for the team, occasionally switching to the #08 Chevy (which was unsponsored) and back to the #07, which had different sponsors in all four races Wimmer drove it. His best finish was 17th.

Bill Davis, owner of Bill Davis Racing, signed Wimmer to a multi-year deal that put him in a Nationwide Series car and eventually into NASCAR’s top series. Wimmer tallied up two top-five and eight top-10 finishes in his rookie year that put him 11th in the championship standings. 2002 brought hopes of a Busch Series Championship. Wimmer posted strong finishes in the early part of the season, but hit his stride during the summer months when he posted four consecutive top-10 finishes in June. Wimmer scored his first Nationwide Series career win at the fall Dover race, and in the final seven races of the season posted wins at Memphis, Phoenix and Homestead. Wimmer finished the season up with four wins, 11 top-five and 17 top-10 finishes and a career high third in the championship standings.

Wimmer debuted in the Busch Series and the Cup series in 2000 with Bill Davis Racing. Wimmer had his best season in 2002 racing in the Busch Series, when he won four races and finished third in points. Wimmer will drive in the Busch and Cup series for Richard Childress Racing in 2007.

In April 2007, Wimmer filed a lawsuit against Bill Davis Racing for $1.2 million dollars. Wimmer says that BDR failed to give him enough notice that he would be fired as the #22 driver, in fact going as far as saying he would be back at the beginning of October 2005 (only to fire him 21 days later). The lawsuit is for what Wimmer would have been paid had he driven the 2006 season for BDR.[2]

Davis had considered moving Wimmer into Cup in 2003, but felt the team was slated to compete for a championship in the Nationwide Series. But, Wimmer’s Nationwide season was one of discontent. He scored a victory at Pikes Peak, and contended for others but Wimmer and his team fell short of expectations. Wimmer looks ahead to a new beginning in NASCAR’s premier series – the Cup Series.

Wimmer was a hot commodity when he ripped off four Busch wins in the 2003 season while driving for Bill Davis Racing. His last win came in July 2004 at the now-defunct Pikes Peak International Raceway.
