It's official: the Tubbster is joining forces with NASCAR.
MOORESVILLE, N.C. - Two of the winningest names in their respective sports - and two national champions - are putting together a new NASCAR Busch Series team with driver Jamie Mosley beginning in 2005.
Mosley will drive a Chevrolet fielded by a partnership involving the driver, University of Kentucky basketball coach Tubby Smith and his wife Donna, and NEMCO Motorsports, which is owned by former NASCAR Busch Series champion and Cup driver Joe Nemechek.
"This is a tremendous opportunity for me, and I am really excited with the team we are putting together," said Mosley, who orchestrated the arrangement with the Smiths and NEMCO.
Smith, whose Kentucky Wildcats won the 1998 NCAA championship, is the sixth-winningest active coach in Division 1 men's basketball. Smith and his wife, Donna, have partnered with Mosley and NEMCO, the 1992 NASCAR Busch Series national champions led by Joe Nemechek, who has 16 career wins in the series and is a leading driver in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series.
Said Coach Smith, "I am very excited to be partnering with a young driver like Jamie Mosley and a proven winner like Joe Nemechek. This is a unique opportunity to expand the scope of our efforts with the Tubby Smith Foundation, to further the education of many children in need and to bridge the knowledge gap that exists for many of our young people today."
