Driver Bio: Joe Nemechek began his racing career at age 13 after watching "Hurricane" Bob Hannah sail over motocross jumps on the family television in Lakeland, Florida. Not long after, Joe's own motocross career was under way, and he won more than 300 events before turning to stock cars in the mid-'80s.

He won races and championships across the state of Florida, then set his sights on NASCAR. He ran his first full season in the NASCAR Busch Series in 1990, capturing Rookie of the Year honors and, two years later, the series championship. Joe graduated to the Cup Series in 1994 but continues to set the standard in the Nationwide Series on a full time basis. Nicknamed "Front Row Joe" because of his qualifying prowess, the likable driver continues evolving as a racer and a role model.
