“I couldn’t be more excited to join Chip Ganassi Racing," Nemechek said in the press release. "I feel like their cars and organization were the talk of the garage in 2017 and I hope to play a part in continuing their run of success in 2018 and beyond. Also, Fire Alarm Services has been a supporter of my career since 2016 at our family-owned team, and I am looking forward to continuing that partnership at Chip Ganassi Racing. I am extremely grateful to Shannon and Connie Smith, owners of Fire Alarm Services, Inc. I also want to thank my father for all that he has done to help grow my passion for racing.”
Nemechek has spent five seasons in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, two full-time seasons. In his career, he's tallied five victories, 22 top-five's, 38 top-10's, and one pole. He is slated for multiple races in 2018 while sharing the No. 42 with Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series driver Kyle Larson.
"We are happy to have John Hunter join our organization and also announce the relationship with Fire Alarm Services," team owner Chip Ganassi said in the press release. "We had a very successful 2017 with our XFINITY program and look to improve upon that. We feel that John Hunter has the talent to be a future star in the sport and can’t wait to get him behind the wheel.”
That 2017 XFINITY Series campaign featured five victories across three drivers. Both Alex Bowman and Tyler Reddick earned their first career victories in 2017 and both have full-time rides in 2018 (Bowman with Hendrick in MENCS & Reddick with JR Motorsports in NXS). (Koelle,2017)
