Nemechek will drive the car for a least the next five races for the Denver- based team. Also they now have a supply of Hendrick Engines.

Those Hendrick engines will be a big plus !
I hope Joe can direct the crewchief & team to get the #78 car handling good. :D :up:

Looks like Joe N will be in #78 next year too, with HMS engines & support.

Furniture Row changes: Barney Visser, owner of Denver-based Furniture Row Racing, said he and driver Joe Nemechek have agreed in principle to a contract for next season.
Visser also said his team has stopped producing its own engines and has been powered by Hendrick Motorsports motors since Nemechek came aboard.CQ Hendrick will provide Visser with all his engines next year, he said.

Not a surprise. Hendrick has helped Nemechek and because of the unfortunate circumstances with his former team, it's a class act. Nemechek helped Hendrick's driver development efforts and it's good that he is being rewarded by Hendrick with support for this team that wants to be better.

Well he was 2nd row at Tallagdega and Kenny Wallace has twice been 3rd row with them earlier in the year. ;)
