GMS Racing announced recently that John Hunter Nemechek will join the team for the 2019 NASCAR Xfinity Series season.
Nemechek, son of NASCAR veteran Joe Nemechek, will be the driver of the No. 23 Chevrolet Camaro under the GMS Racing banner and will contend for the 2019 Sunoco Rookie of the Year honors.
The Mooresville, North Carolina, driver started his first season of NASCAR Xfinity Series competition in 2018 with Chip-Ganassi Racing.

“I am very grateful for the opportunity that Mr. Gallagher and the entire GMS Racing organization has presented to me to be able to run full-time in 2019,” Nemechek said. “The results that GMS Racing showed last year in their NASCAR Xfinity Series program were impressive. Their goal is to create a championship-caliber team, like their truck series program, and I believe that we can achieve that goal in the 2019 season.”
