Truck No. 1 history

The team first fielded this truck in 2013 with Jonathan Davenport driving the entry at Martinsville Speedway, where he would fail to qualify.

Fred's 250 at Talladega Superspeedway.[5]

The team made the truck full-time for 2015, with multiple drivers in the seat.

UNOH 200, finishing 28th.[10] Kvapil ran the next five races for the team, with a 17th at New Hampshire Motor Speedway as his best effort in that timespan.[9] The team then sold out its spot to Rick Ware Racing for the next race at Martinsville Speedway.[12] Kvapil ran the next race, finishing 22nd at Texas Motor Speedway.[9] The team then sold its spot to Ware for the penultimate race.[13] Stacey ran the final race of the season, finishing 24th.[14]

Before the 2017 season, former co-owner Tracy Lowe took ownership of the No. 1 and formed her own team, TJL Motorsports, with it.[15]

In 2019, the team returned with Travis Kvapil, Stefan Parsons and Cody McMahan, all of them drove one race each.

Truck No. 14 history

In 2016, the No. 14 Chevy was run by

Natalie Decker
at Martinsville (Spring) and failed to qualify into the race.

Truck No. 50 history

The team debuted in the

Nashville 200 with G. R. Smith at the wheel.[16] In his only start with the team, Smith qualified 32nd and finished last in the 36 truck field, retiring with engine troubles.[17] T. J. Bell then joined the team to race part-time, with sponsorship from Liberty Tire Recycling, which was also the team's tire recycler.[18] In his first race, he finished 27th at Charlotte Motor Speedway, retiring 14 laps from the end with engine problems. In his next race, at Darlington Raceway, Bell crashed out after 73 laps. In the final race of the season for the team, Bell finally finished a race, 19th at Texas Motor Speedway.[19]

In 2011, the team ran Bell in three more races, crashing at Daytona International Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway, finishing in only the Darlington race. He finished 22nd, a lap down.[20]

The team would only attempt two Truck races in 2012, both with Natalie Sather, but she failed to qualify both times. Instead, they focused on their efforts with Bell in the Xfinity Series.

In 2013, the team started with Danny Efland at Charlotte, the only race he finished that season. After a 20th there, he start and parked for three races.[21]

Homestead-Miami Speedway, finishing 31st after falling out with electrical problems.[25]

Heading into the 2015 season,

Homestead-Miami Speedway.[9]

Kvapil continued his relationship with the team in 2016, driving the No. 50 close to full-time, just switching to the No. 1 entry in the season finale so that Spencer Boyd could take the No. 50.[30]

In 2017, the team was renamed to Beaver Motorsports and continued to field the No. 50 full-time. In the six first races of the season the team made a partnership with Rick Ware Racing with Cody Ware and Spencer Boyd, both RWR drivers at that time sharing the ride. Starting in the seventh race the partnership ended and Josh Reaume drove almost every race, with an exception of Pocono that the team withdrew, Eldora and Mosport Park, where Beaver made a partnership with Mike Harmon Racing, Harmon himself drove at Eldora and Bobby Reuse, MWR driver at that time drove at Mosport Park and Martinsville (fall) where Bayley Currey made his NASCAR debut.[31]

Truck No. 55 history

Jake Crum ran this number for one race in 2011, crashing out at Texas Motor Speedway.[32]
