BIOGRAPHY

Joe Buford (born June 19, 1967 at Franklin, Tennessee) is a racecar driver.

Career prior to NASCAR

Buford began his career at Duck River Speedway in 1989. He took his father's advice (two-time Nashville Speedway USA champ James "Flookie" Buford) and started racing at Nashville in 1991. He was an instant success, winning three races and the "Rookie of the Year" honors. He moved to the premier late model division in 1992. Buford was a four time track champion at the historic track (1998, 1999, 2000, 2002), tying Coo Coo Marlin for the most titles in track history. His 66 victories passed the long standing Darrell Waltrip record of 55 career victories at the track. He was the 1998 Heartland Region Champion (missing the national title by only a 1/2 point). He finished second in the Heartland Region in 1999 and 2000.


National/NASCAR Career

He has won 2 NASCAR Southern Division races. He finished third in his first NASCAR Goody's Dash Series race. He has also raced in All-Pro series. Joe started three Craftsman Truck Series and 18 Nationwide Series races with little success.
