The dominoes from Kyle Busch's Daytona injuries continue to fall.

One day after Joe Gibbs Racing named David Ragan as Busch's temporary replacement in the No. 18 Toyota beginning this weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Front Row Motorsports has temporarily filled Ragan's seat with Sprint Cup Series veteran Joe Nemechek.

A four-time Sprint Cup race winner who drove his last full season in 2011, Nemechek -- who was once nicknamed "Front Row Joe" for his proclivity for qualifying on the front row -- will drive Ragan's No. 34 Ford this weekend.

Front Row Motorsports has not announced who will drive the car beyond Atlanta.

Nemechek, whose last Sprint Cup victory came in 2004, attempted but failed to qualify for last Sunday's Daytona 500.
