Nemechek, Furniture Row Racing Agree on Contract Buyout
Friday November 21, 2008
DENVER, Colo. (Nov. 21, 2008) – On the heels of Furniture Row Racing announcing plans for a limited 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule, the team announced today a contract buyout of its driver Joe Nemechek.
“Just like the reduced schedule announcement, this buyout of Joe’s contract has nothing to do with his on-track performance,” said team president Joe Garone. “But our contract with Joe for 2009 was for a full schedule and we’re not able to fulfill that part of the deal.”
“Joe has been a great leader, mentor, and driver for Furniture Row Racing,” added Garone. “This move is doing what is best for both Joe and our team. It doesn’t require us to have him drive for Furniture Row in 2009, but it doesn’t restrict him from doing what he loves — and that’s racing at the highest level every week of the season.”
In only its third year as a Sprint Cup Series team, Furniture Row Racing is coming off its best year, qualifying for 32 out of 36 races, earning a pole position at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway and having several strong finishes.
As announced before, Furniture Row Companies – the team owner, primary sponsor, and one the nation’s largest furniture retailers – is a privately-held entity and does not make its sales figures public. But the company is looking at retail sales trends and is tightening all expenses as a result.
