Motorsports Business Management LLC, operating asMBM Motorsports,Garage 66,Power Source, and sometimes known asCarl Long Motorsports, is an American professionalstock car racing team that currently competes in theNASCAR Cup Series andNASCAR Xfinity Series. MBM was co-owned and operated by Long and driverDerek White until early 2016, with full operation of the team being taken by Long and his family after White was arrested on smuggling charges.

In theNASCAR Cup Series, the team fields the No. 66 part-time for multiple drivers. In theNASCAR Xfinity Series, the team fields the No. 66 part-time for multiple drivers. In theNASCAR Craftsman Truck Series the team fields the No. 69 part-time for multiple drivers. They have also competed in theARCA Menards Series in the past.

Before the 2014Drive to Stop Diabetes 300 atBristol Motor Speedway, Derek White and Carl Long created Motorsports Business Management.^[1] In 2016, White was arrested on tobacco smuggling charges,^[2] leading to his indefinite suspension by NASCAR.^[3] Ownership of the team was transferred to the Long family; officially, the team owner is listed as Long's father, Horace.^[4]

Until the end of the 2018 season, MBM Motorsports ranDodge cars on a limited basis in addition to the other manufacturers, using engines leased fromTeam Penske from when Penske ran Dodges.^[5] The team switched toToyotas starting in 2019,^[6] and team ownerCarl Long appealed to the manufacturer for support.^[7]

In November 2021, Long and eight members of his team, including driverDavid Starr, tested positive forCOVID-19 following the 2021 season finale atPhoenix Raceway.^[8] That led to Starr reuniting with his former Truck Series teamSS-Green Light Racing in the Xfinity Series.

When the No. 13 became available followingGermain Racing's shutdown, MBM renumbered their car again in 2021.^[9]Garrett Smithley attempted the2021 Daytona 500, but was involved in an accident withNoah Gragson, leading them both to miss the race. The No. 13 returned at theNASCAR Open atTexas Motor Speedway withDavid Starr behind the wheel. Starr returned atNashville and finished 35th.Timmy Hill scored the team's best finish of 27th atTexas.

During the 2018–19 offseason, MBM Motorsports hinted at running a second Cup car at some point in the 2019 season along with the usual No. 66. In late April, the team announced their intention to enter a second car in theDigital Ally 400 at Kansas, leading toJoey Gase driving the No. 46 Camry in the race.^[10]

In 2020, the No. 46 car was renumbered to No. 49.Chad Finchum failed to qualify for the2020 Daytona 500 after finishing twentieth in Duel 1 of the2020 Bluegreen Vacations Duels.^[11][12][13] Finchum also drove the No. 49 in theSouth Point 400,Hollywood Casino 400 and theAutotrader EchoPark Automotive 500 with a best finish of 35th.

In 2022,J. J. Yeley attempted to race theDaytona 500 in the No. 55 with sponsor Hex.com, but failed to qualify.^[14] He ran the car again at Talladega, finishing 25th.

In the offseason, MBM Motorsports bought anHScott Motorsports car. In May 2017, Long announced his intention to field aMonster Energy NASCAR Cup Series car, the No. 66Chevrolet SS, atKansas Speedway'sGo Bowling 400.^[15] The number was selected as a tribute to Mark Thompson, while the paint scheme was nearly identical to the No. 46 car Long drove in the Cup Series before his ban from the Cup garage in 2009; the green and yellow colors remained, though the red roof number was changed to yellow.^[4] Although the team received sponsorship from marijuana vaping manufacturerVeedverks,^[16] NASCAR prevented the company from appearing on the car after Long mistakenly put the company name wrong in his sponsor submission to NASCAR, spelling it with an "o" instead of a "d"; upon further investigation by NASCAR, the sanctioning body ordered Long to remove the sponsorship. Long missed the first practice session before running 14 laps in the second session, followed by being unable to set a qualifying lap as he was one of eleven cars stuck in inspection during the session. This relegated Long to a 40th-place starting spot, from which he finished 31st.^[17]

The No. 66 returned for theAAA 400 Drive for Autism at Dover, though withTimmy Hill at the helm. Hill improved the team's best finish by three positions as he finished 28th.^[18] After that race, the team announced that they wouldn't enter in the next races to keep the focus on the Xfinity team. The team returned at Kentucky with Hill; two weeks later, Hill would return in the No. 66 for theBrantley Gilbert Big Machine Brickyard 400.

In 2021, Hill returned full-time. However, after Hill was not invited to theeNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series race at theBristol Motor Speedway dirt track, the 66 team was not able to run the full season due to a lack of sponsorship.
