GMS Racing plans to contest NASCAR Cup Series races in 2022. But the number of races; a specific schedule and personnel, including a driver lineup has not been determined.
GMS Racing has competed on a national level in NASCAR since 2013, primarily in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series but also in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
“GMS is always looking forward and I believe this is the next step for the team in that process,” GMS racing owner Maury Gallagher said. “We have the goal to be a championship caliber team in any series in which we compete, and I am excited to watch the team grow in the coming years.”
The team has two Truck Series titles with Johnny Sauter in 2016 and Sheldon Creed last season. In 567 races, GMS notched 38 wins, 146 top-fives and 188 top-10 finishes. The team’s most recent win came earlier this season with Creed at Darlington Raceway.
GMS Racing’s 116 Xfinity Series races [most recent in 2019] have resulted in a win with Spencer Gallagher at Talladega Superspeedway in 2018, 12 top-fives and 38 top-10s.
“GMS has always risen to the occasion and proven that we are a team capable of competing at every level of this sport,” GMS Racing President Mike Beam said. “We have been preparing to make this step and with the addition of the Next Gen car in 2020, this seemed like the perfect opportunity to make the move.”
