Car No. 37 history

[edit]

After the Daytona 500 in 2011, Max Q Motorsports struck a deal withFront Row Motorsports to acquire the No. 37 car. The No. 37 became the primary team for Max Q, withTony Raines driving. Max Q inherited the owners points from 2010, guaranteeing a spot through the 5th race of 2011, as well as crew chief Greg Connor, the pit crew, and some equipment. The cars are former FRM cars, sourced from the Max Q Motorsports shop and the team has their own personnel.Tony Raines scored top 25 finishes at Phoenix and at Martinsville. The team picked up sponsorship fromBlackCat Fireworks for several races during the summer months. The team has started and parked since the 10th race of the season at Darlington after falling out of the top-35 and missing races.Chris Cook drove the No. 37 after a deal withTomy Drissi andRick Ware Racing fell through when Drissi was not approved to race at Sonoma.Scott Speed drove the No. 37 at Indy, Pocono, and Watkins Glen, Speed would go on to join Whitney Motorsports full-time following Watkins Glen.Josh Wise made his Sprint Cup debut in the car at Chicago, and has continued to drive for the team following that race. Veteran NASCAR driverMike Skinner ran the car at Martinsville on October 30, 2011.

For 2012, the No. 37 team planned to return full-time in an alliance withRick Ware Racing. Mike Wallace unsuccessfully attempted the Daytona 500. 2011 Nationwide Series Rookie of the Year Timmy Hill took over in March. The team had full sponsorship from Poynt, a free mobile app available from theApp Store.

Max Q Motorsports scaled back their schedule in April after the team failed to make five of the first six races, including a disqualification at Martinsville after failing post-qualifying inspection, and a deal for Rick Ware to purchase the team fell through. Their only start was at Las Vegas, where Hill finished 42nd after a crash. Midway through the season they entered into a technical agreement withTommy Baldwin Racing, signingJ. J. Yeley to drive the No. 37.[1] Max Q Motorsports started and parked most of the remainder of the season, but went the distance at Homestead with a 35th-place finish.

After 2012, Yeley departed forTommy Baldwin Racing for the 2013 season. Yeley had start-and-parked for most of 2012 and was quick to take a ride in which he could race full races.[citation needed] With the loss of its fifth primary driver since the team formed in 2009, Max Q effectively shut down before the 2013 season.

The No. 37 did make a single appearance at Sonoma, being fielded in an alliance with Baldwin to allow Yeley to race while his regular car, the No. 36, was fielded byVictor Gonzalez, Jr. However, because the team was a late entry, they did not receive driver or owner points. Yeley finished 42nd.

In 2014, TBR acquired the No. 37 outright, withBobby Labonte driving the car at Indianapolis. This officially marked the end of Max Q's participation in NASCAR, because although the 2013 entry had used Max Q's paint style, the 2014 entry used TBR's with Baldwin sponsor Accell Construction on board.

Car No. 64 history

[edit]
Derrike Cope in the No. 64 atMartinsville Speedway in 2009

The team first attempted to field the No. 64 Toyota at the 2009Daytona 500 forGeoff Bodine. Although he missed the race, Geoff's brotherTodd Bodine made the race atLas Vegas Motor Speedway for the team's first start. The team finished 37th, 58 laps down. Todd would run two other races, garnering a 42nd and 43rd before leaving the team before the first Pocono race. Gunselman then signedMike Wallace to run a limited schedule the rest of the year. In the remainder of the season, Wallace made two races for the team. His finishes were 43rd and 39th. AtMartinsville Speedway,Derrike Cope took over Gunselman's car for one race. The team qualified 43rd and finished 42nd. In 2009, the team made six races in eighteen attempts and did not finish a single one (two engine failures, two brake issues, one crash, and one instance of being parked).

Todd Bodine in the No. 64 atCharlotte Motor Speedway in 2010

The team's first race of 2010 was at Richmond in a Toyota withTony Raines driving.Chad McCumbee,Landon Cassill,Jeff Green andTodd Bodine also competed for the team. Gunselman Motorsports ran in 2010 as a Start and Park team, with support fromGermain Racing.

For 2011, Todd Bodine was intended to run with Gunselman for the Daytona 500. However,Germain Racing fielded their own No. 60 Toyota for Bodine. Former Daytona 500 winnerDerrike Cope drove the No. 64 Toyota in theBud Shootout, but failed to qualify the Daytona 500 with sponsorship from Sta-Bil Ethanol Treatment. Max Q would go on to end its affiliation withGermain Racing and Toyota following Daytona. After Daytona, the No. 64 became Max Q’s secondary team, with the new No. 37 becoming the primary. The team only chose to field the No. 64 one additional time, which was at the Sprint Showdown. Cope again drove the car, but was involved in a crash with Landon Cassill.
