Joe Nemechek, American race car driver
Joseph Frank Nemechek III (born September 26, 1963) is an American professional stock car racing driver who last competed part-time in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, driving the No. 8 Ford F-150 for his own team, NEMCO Motorsports. Nemechek has made more national series starts in NASCAR than any other driver, a record he has held since 2019 after he passed seven-time Cup Series champion Richard Petty on the list. Nemechek won the 1992 NASCAR Busch Series championship.

He is the older brother of the late John Nemechek, who died in a practice crash for the Truck Series race at Homestead-Miami Speedway in 1997. He is the father of John Hunter Nemechek, who competes full-time in the Truck Series for Kyle Busch Motorsports and who previously drove for NEMCO in that series.

He is nicknamed "Front-Row Joe," which was coined by former teammate Wally Dallenbach for his tendency in the late 1990s to be a regular contender for a front-row starting position.
