 Little Team That Could

From NASCAR.com Saturday, Aug. 18, 2007

      The happiest bunch back in the garage area might have been the No. 08 E&M Motorsports crew. Well down the speed chart after Friday's practice, Joe Nemechek was able to pick up more than a second -- putting the Georgia-based single-car team in the show for the first time.
      Nemechek's fans have contributed more than $2,000 to the effort -- and the team plans to run a "Nemechek Fans On Board" logo on the car Sunday.

Supporters Make Sure Nemechek Gets a Chance to Race Sunday

      Big racing teams might rule the speedway, but it's still the race fan that controls many a driver's overall destiny. Lakeland native Joe Nemechek will start Sunday's Nextel Cup race with E&M Motorsports thanks in part to local fans who raised money to support their driving star.
      So while most drivers have a giant logo of a big corporate sponsor on their hoods, Nemechek's hood this weekend will sport a big, diamond-shaped sign that says "Fans On Board."  Read more...

Andretti Joins the 37 team in 2007

John Andretti turned in a great effort at California Speedway, qualifying the 37 Dodge for the Auto Club 500 and then driving it to near the head of the pack before his battery failed.  Although Andretti finished 34th, he and the 37 car -- the same one driven by Bill Elliott two weeks earlier in Daytona's Bud Shootout -- performed wonderfully.

The graph below charts his position.

An announcement should come soon from car owner John Carter about the driver assignments for future races, but it is set that Andretti will drive 37 in Las Vegas on March 11 and Elliott will be in the car for Atlanta on March 18.

Camping World -- Andretti's Busch sponsor -- joined as primary sponsor for the California race.  An announcement should also be made soon about future sponsorships for the car.

The 37 team welcomes the passionate Andretti fans to the effort.
