Randy Humphrey Racing was an auto racing team that competed in theNASCARSprint Cup Series. They fielded the No. 77Ford Fusion for driversDave Blaney,Nelson Piquet Jr.,[2]Joe Nemechek, andCorey LaJoie.
Owner Randy Humphrey was originally partnered withPhil Parsons, operatingMSRP Motorsports in theNationwide Series andHP Racing/Prism Motorsports in theSprint Cup Series. Humphrey left the team in 2012, and partnered with TriStar/PME Engines owner Mark Smith to field a 19 and 91 car asHumphrey-Smith Racing, mostly asstart and parks. The TriStar Cup team shut down before the Chase for the Cup in 2013.
In January 2014, it was announced that Humphrey was forming his own team with veteran driverDave Blaney and veteran crew chiefPeter Sospenzo. The team purchasedFords fromGermain Racing, which was switching toChevrolet.[3] The team ran car number 77, which Blaney had run withJasper Motorsports,[4] and acquired the 2013 owner points from the Humphrey Smith No. 19, although it was ranked too deeply to grant them a provisional in the first three races of 2014. The team's first race was to be the2014 Daytona 500, but was involved in a multi-car crash in practice, totaling their only car and forcing them to withdraw from the race.[5] The team entered in all of the first 15 races of the season with Blaney, only making four, and had a best finish of 33rd atDover, 17 laps down. On June 25, prior to the race atKentucky Speedway, team owner Randy Humphrey announced that the team would be "retooling" their program, citing a lack of performance and "people issues."[6] The hiatus was initially announced as four weeks, planning to return atIndianapolis in June,[7] though they would skip an additional race atPocono.
Upon the team's return to competition atWatkins Glen International in August, Nationwide andCamping World Trucks winnerNelson Piquet Jr. was placed in the car with sponsorship from WORKS Yard Tools.[8] Three weeks later,Joe Nemechek would qualify on speed atAtlanta. AtLoudon in September,Richard Petty Motorsports development driverCorey LaJoie made his Sprint Cup debut,[9] starting and finishing 41st, 102 laps down.[10] LaJoie would make another start at Charlotte, in theBank of America 500. The team shut down at the end of the season.
