2006-Present
Wimmer joined Morgan-McClure Motorsports in 2006 to drive their No. 4 Aero Exhaust Chevy. The team lost the Aero sponsorship during the summer of the season, and he left the team following the race at Kansas Speedway. After joining up with Richard Childress Racing for the 2007 Busch Series season, Wimmer drove the final race at Homestead-Miami Speedway in the No. 33 Holiday Inn Chevrolet earning a season best finish of 12th. Despite missing 12 races, Wimmer ended up 38th in points. That year he also drove part-time in the Busch Series in the No. 66 Duraflame/Yard-Man Ford Taurus with Brewco Motorsports in 13 races. He also ran three races for Fitz Bradshaw Racing, two in the No. 14 Family Dollar Dodge and one in the No. 12 Goulds Pumps Dodge. Wimmer had four top-ten finishes ending up 29th in points.
In 2007, he joined Richard Childress Racing as a test driver. He competed 23 races between the No. 21 AutoZone and No. 29 Holiday Inn Chevys. He won his first career pole at Gateway International Raceway and had seven top-five finishes and fourteen top-ten finishes. Wimmer finished 14th in points despite his limited schedule. Wimmer shared the No. 29 car with Jeff Burton and with Burton's five wins, twelve top-five finishes and seventeen top-ten finishes combined with Wimmer's finishes, the No. 29 team won the 2007 Busch Series Owner's Championship. It was only the second time in Busch Series history that the Driver and Owner's Titles were not won by the same team. That year in the Nextel Cup Series, Wimmer attempted one race in the No. 78 Furniture Row Racing car at Michigan and five races for Childress in his No. 33 Chevrolet with sponsorship from Holiday Inn and Camping World. He only made one race at Indianapolis finishing 31st after a pit row accident damaged his car.
He ran 22 races in the No. 29 Holiday Inn Chevrolet and one in the No. 21 Prilosec Chevrolet for Childress in 2008 NASCAR Nationwide Series and picked up a win at Nashville. Wimmer also had five top-five finishes and thirteen top-ten finishes helping the No. 29 finish 5th in Owner's Points while Wimmer ended up 17th in Driver Points. Wimmer also attempted one race in the 2008 Sprint Cup Series, failing to make the race at Richmond in the No. 33 Camping World Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing.
Due to a lack of sponsorship, he was released from Childress and he spent the 2009 season splitting time between the No. 5 Fastenal Chevy for JR Motorsports in six races and the No. 40 StopRepairBills.com/Westerman Companies Chevy for Key Motorsports in the majority of races in the Nationwide Series. He would end up with three top tens and finished 16th in Driver Points. Wimmer also returned to Morgan-McClure Motorsports in the Sprint Cup Series driving one race at Bristol in the No. 4 Alpha Natural Resources Chevrolet finishing 29th. He also failed to make the race for the team at Dover.
In 2010, Wimmer decided to only drive high quality equipment in the Nationwide Series. Because of this, Wimmer started the season without a ride. He got a two race ride with JR Motorsports in the No. 7 Chevrolet at Bristol and Nashville. He was able to get finishes of 10th and 7th respectively. Wimmer then earned a three race ride with Baker Curb Racing in the No. 27 Red Man Ford. His best finish with them was a 7th at Kentucky Speedway. Any hopes to continue with them ended when their Red Man sponsorship expired. Wimmer spent most of the rest of the season without a ride but was able to get a one race deal with Turner Motorsports (NASCAR). He drove the No. 10 AccuDoc Solutions Toyota at Gateway International Raceway but crashed out. For 2010, Wimmer had 3 Top 10 finishes in 6 races and led laps in 5 of the races he ran.
Wimmer started the 2011 Nationwide Series season driving the No. 40 for Key Motorsports earning a best finish of 12th at Talladega before leaving after the 11th race due to a lack of sponsorship. After leaving, Wimmer drove three full distance races for No. 70 ML Motorsports with a best finish of 15th at both races at Iowa Speedway. He also drove one race each for No. 87 Nemco Motorsports at Nashville Speedway (Finished 13th), No. 40 Key Motorsports at Bristol Motor Speedway (Finished 24th) and No. 81 McDonald Motorsports at Chicagoland Speedway (Finished 30th). In addition to these full race rides, Wimmer start and parked a few races for R3 Motorsports (1 race), Key Motorsports (2 races) and McDonald Motorsports (1 race). Despite only running 21 of 34 races, Wimmer used 6 Top 20 finishes to help him to finish 25th in Driver Points.
Wimmer was also able to run a few Sprint Cup Series races in 2011 for Robby Gordon Motorsports. Wimmer substituted for Gordon in the No. 7 Speed Energy Dodge at Dover International Speedway, Pocono Raceway, Kentucky Speedway and New Hampshire Motor Speedway; earning a best finish of 27th at New Hampshire. In addition, Wimmer attempted to qualify a second Speed Energy car (#77) at Charlotte Motor Speedway and Indianapolis Motor Speedway but he failed to qualify for either race.
