Who brought Jimmie Johnson into NASCAR?
The popular story is that while driving in the 2000 Busch Series (now known as the Nationwide Series) for Herzog Motorsports, Jimmie asked fellow Nascar driver Jeff Gordon's advice on a subject at a drivers meeting. The two became friends, and Hendrick Motorsports, on Jeff Gordon's recommendation, offered Jimmie a driver development deal with a potential for advancing in 2002. In 2002, Jimmie became a full time driver in the Cup Series for Hendrick Motorsports. What the popular story omits is the role GM racing head Herb Fishel played in getting Johnson into stock cars to begin with, with the goal of eventually elevating him to Hendrick Motorsports, the "works" team of Chevrolet in NASCAR circles.

Where can you buy a NASCAR Series truck?
The teams are always selling used race cars for use in lower NASCAR racing classes. If you want something more new, without shelling out all that dough for a shop, equiptment, research, and so on, most of the teams would be happy to take care of your needs, provided, you have the cash, and the talent to pilot it. I think Hendrick still offers a rental program, where, he will rent you a car that will more than qualify, and, I think he will even rent you a team to pit it, and a tuner to fine tune it. That would be my choice. A proven winner, and you return it until the next race. What more could any racer want?!
