E and M Motorsports, who will be attempting to make the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard this weekend, is probably one of the smallest, privately owned teams in Nascar. Please correct me if I am wrong on this one. The #08 will be piloted by Front Row Joe Nemechek who was recently released from Ginn Racing. The #08 is looking for sponsorship and all the money for this team comes right out of the pocket of owner John Carter. The shop for his #08 is his own garage and he has 3 cars in his stable. He has no COT's and that really puts the pressure on him since next year with the switch. With all the big name teams nowadays with unlimited funds and sponsorship, it is a shame that these teams that work so hard fall short. It is all about the money because without it, you just can not get the equipment to compete in the sport at the top level.
I personally salute Mr. Carter for his dedication and his will to pursue getting his cars into the main event. Nothing like real folk that are hard working and don't forget where they came from and not born with a silver spoon in their mouths.
Good Luck to the #08 Team this weekend at the Brickyard.

I have a soft spot for the underdog...and these guys are underdogs..It is people like this who are part of the backbone of the sport..Unfortunately Nascar seems to throw up roadblocks to people like this.. which makes their struggle even harder than it should be...
sorry about the error Tom I corrected it It should be good now....old eyes and old fingers I guess..cheers
