In 2005 Joe Nemechek had one of his best seasons in the Cup Series, finishing 16th in points and tying a career high with nine top-10s. It was his best finish in the final point standings since he was 15th in 2000, a breakout year in which he had three top-fives and nine top-10s. His first victory came the year prior when he took the checkered flag in September 1999 at New Hampshire. After 180 starts, Nemechek had arrived.

This is the diecast replica of the #01 sponsored Army car that Joe Nemechek drove in 2006. Unfortunately he  finished 27th in the points standing. Although Nemechek started in all 36 races he was only able to finish in the top ten twice.
