Petty GMS Motorsports is an American professional stock car racing team formed by Richard Petty and Maurice J. Gallagher Jr. and operated by GMS Racing.^[2] In the NASCAR Cup Series they field the Nos. 42 and 43 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 for Ty Dillon and Erik Jones, respectively. The team has a technical alliance with Richard Childress Racing.^[3]

In the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series GMS Racing independently fields two full-time Chevrolet Silverado trucks: the No. 23 of Grant Enfinger and the No. 24 for Jack Wood. They also compete in the ARCA Menards Series, fielding the No. 43 Chevrolet SS full-time for Daniel Dye. Their ARCA team also competes part-time in the main ARCA Menards Series East and the ARCA Menards Series West with Daniel Dye driving the No. 43 Chevrolet SS.

GMS Racing previously competed in the NASCAR Xfinity Series from 2016 to 2019. The team's driver development program, Drivers Edge Development, is operated in conjunction with JR Motorsports.

Owner Maurice J. Gallagher Jr. is the chairman and CEO of the Allegiant Travel Company, which intermittently sponsors the team through its Allegiant Air brand.^[4]

History[]

Before the formation of his team, Maurice Gallagher was previously involved in NASCAR with local Las Vegas driver and friend Spencer Clark's team when it competed in the NASCAR Busch East Series and Busch Series until his unexpected death in 2006.^[5]

GMS Racing, then known as Gallagher Motorsports, was formed in 2011 when they entered ARCA competition. They then expanded their operations into the Camping World Truck Series in 2013,^[4] and then to the Xfinity Series in 2016. The team was initially based in Charlotte, North Carolina, in the former BAM Racing shop. The team later moved to another shop, and BK Racing moved into their old shop.^[6]

For the 2014 season, the team acquired the assets of Richard Childress Racing's truck series program, and entered a technical alliance with the organization.^[7] In 2015, former crew chief Mike Beam became competition director,^[1] while RCR and manufacturer Chevrolet increased their technical support.^[4] In addition, the team relocated from Charlotte to Statesville, North Carolina near the Statesville Regional Airport. This was the former facility of Evernham Motorsports and later Richard Petty Motorsports, which had been unoccupied since 2010.^[8]^[9]^[10]^[11] GMS also began using the number font formerly used by Braun Racing and Turner Scott Motorsports.^[4] As of 2016, the No. 21 team in the Xfinity Series uses the same number font as Wood Brothers Racing, alternating with the number style of the rest of the team. In early 2017, the team formed an alliance with Halmar Friesen Racing.^[12] This alliance was expanded in August of that year.^[13]

In early 2019, it was announced that GMS Racing had started a Chevrolet development program, Drivers Edge Development, with JR Motorsports. Drivers in the program would race in GMS Racing's NASCAR K&N Pro Series, ARCA Menards Series, and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series teams, as well as JR Motorpsorts's Late Model and NASCAR Xfinity Series teams. They will be mentored by Mardy Lindley (GMS crew chief) and Josh Berry (JR Motorsports Late Model driver). GMS Racing drivers John Hunter Nemechek, Sheldon Creed, and Sam Mayer were among the inaugural members of the program.^[14]

On December 1, 2021, Gallagher purchased a majority interest in the former Richard Petty Motorsports for US$19 million. The deal included both of RPM's charters; the No. 43 continued to operate with its charter while the second charter - which was leased to Rick Ware Racing for the No. 51 from 2019 to 2021 - was transferred to a second car for the team, the No. 42.^[15] Following the purchase, the team was renamed to Petty GMS Motorsports.

The deal included both of RPM's charters; the No. 43 would continue to operate with its charter while the second charter - which was leased to Rick Ware Racing for the No. 51 from 2019 to 2021 - would be transferred to GMS' entry which was re-numbered from 94 to No. 42.^[18]

Casey Roderick made his return to the series driving the 23 at the July Iowa race and it was also announced later that night that A. J. Allmendinger would pilot the 23 at Watkins Glen the following weekend.

On August 4, 2018, GMS Racing announced that NASCAR Hall of Famer and 1988 NASCAR Winston Cup Series champion Bill Elliott will come out of retirement to drive the No. 23 at the Road America race on August 25.^[27]

John Hunter Nemechek came over to the 23 car from Chip Ganassi Racing to run the full season in the No. 23 in 2019. Despite only leading 14 laps, Nemechek qualified for the Chase and performed well, finishing seventh in points, the best for GMS. After the season, he announced that he would be leaving to join Front Row Motorsports in the Cup Series, leaving the car open for 2020. Nemechek would total five top 5s and 19 top 10s in his one year at GMS.

Car No. 24 history[]

Ben Kennedy (2017)

On April 17, 2017, it was announced that Ben Kennedy would pilot a new second Xfinity entry for GMS in twelve races, beginning with the May race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.^[28] Jeff Stankiewicz, who was Kennedy's crew chief for his 2016 Chase run in the trucks, was also crew chief for the No. 96.^[29] Brett Moffitt drove the 96 at the second Iowa race picking up an 11th-place finish. The No. 96 team has not run since Darlington Raceway and has withdrawn from some races after that with no sponsor listed.^[30]

Justin Haley (2018)

Although it was rumored for many months Brennan Poole and Brett Moffitt would drive the car full-time sharing the car in 2018, the car didn't return till later in the year renumbered to the No. 24. with Justin Haley driving the car in 2018 at Daytona in July and Watkins Glen in August. At the Daytona race, Haley was running third on the last lap off of turn 4 who then made an elevator move to pass both Kyle Larson and Elliott Sadler to cross the line first, though it was determined that Haley put two wheels below the line while passing both even though he had plenty of room to pass. They stripped Haley of the win to Kyle Larson and Haley was placed as the last car on the lead lap. Many thought this would be Haley's ride for 2019 but he moved on to Kaulig Racing instead.

Sheldon Creed was announced as the driver for the rest of the season.

Sheldon Creed (2018–2021)

Sheldon Creed took over the No. 2 truck full-time in 2019, after running the last four races in 2018. On July 22, 2019, GMS Racing announced that Jeff Stankiewicz would replace Doug Randolph as the crew chief of the No. 2.^[32] On August 6, 2019, NASCAR suspended Stankiewicz, truck chief Austin Pollak, and engineer Jonathan Stewart for three races through September 10 after the No. 2 truck was discovered to have a ballast container violation during post-race inspection at Eldora. Darren Fraley served as interim crew chief during Stankiewicz's suspension.^[33] Creed finished 11th in points with four top-5 finishes and 11 top-10 finishes. ^[34]

Creed had a breakout season in 2020. He got his first win in a rain-shortened Buckle Up in Your Truck 225, and his first non-rain-shortened win in the BrakeBest Select 159 five weeks later. Creed eventually won the championship, with five wins, nine top-fives, and thirteen top tens. ^[35]

Creed remained in the No. 2 for the 2021 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.^[36] At Darlington Raceway, crashes in the last stage eliminated the leaders and Creed took the lead on the final restart, preventing Rhodes from passing him as he won his first race of the season.^[37] Creed entered the playoffs as the fifth seed and won the first two races at Gateway and Darlington.^[38]^[39] A crash at Las Vegas dropped Creed outside of the top four in points that would advance to the Championship Round.^[40] Although he finished ninth in the Round of 8's elimination race at Martinsville, he was four points short of making the final round.^[41] Creed moved to Richard Childress Racing No. 2 car in the Xfinity Series in 2022 and the 2 truck was shut down.
