Who is Josh Richeson?

Josh Richeson, is a stock car driver. He has made 23 career starts in the NASCAR Nationwide Series series and one Craftsman Truck Series start. He is the nephew of former Sprint Cup Series driver Brett Bodine

Richeson made his Nationwide Series debut at Richmond International Raceway in September 2001. He drove the #06 Bodine Racing Ford Taurus into the field with a 33rd place qualifying effort, but was involved with a crash on lap 72 and finished 40th.

Bodine put together some sponsorship deals from Smucker's and Timberland Pro to put Richeson in the car for seven races in 2002. He ran better at Daytona, starting 25th and finishing 30th. In these seven events, his best finish was only 28th place, at Rockingham Motor Speedway.

Other than driving his uncle's car, Richeson ran for other teams in 2001 and 2002. But after being released from Bodine Racing, Richeson found only one-race deals for the next few years.

In 2002 and 2003, he drove eight races for the Havill-Spoerl team in car #67. However, the team struggled, and Richeson did not finish any races. His best finish was a 35th at Memphis, but he did record his career-best start of 19th at Pikes Peak International Raceway.
