Cunningham Motorsports

Cunningham Motorsports (operating at various points in its history as CSG Motorsports and CHS Motorsports) was an American professional stock car racing team that competed primarily in the ARCA Racing Series, but also in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and Busch Series. At various points, the team had driver development links to Dodge, Ganassi Racing Team Penske and Roush Fenway Racing, and won the 2016 ARCA Racing Series championship with Stewart-Haas Racing driver Chase Briscoe. After 2017, the team was sold to crew chief Chad Bryant, which currently fields the Nos. 22 and 77 in ARCA competition.

Cunningham formed in 1997 as CSG Motorsports as a three-way partnership between Briggs Cunningham III, Kerry Scherer and Mark Gibson. After driving three years for the team, Gibson split from Cunningham and Scherer in early 2000. The team primarily ran in the ARCA Racing Series but dabbled in Busch Series competition. In 2007, Cunningham and Scherer brought on Eddie Hartman to form CHS Motorsports, which competed in the Camping World Truck Series. CHS lasted three years before Hartman broke off and formed a partnership with Eddie Sharp. The team then focused exclusively on ARCA competition and signed a developmental contract with Team Penske in 2008. The team then won several Rookie of the Year awards in the late 2000s and early 2010s before winning the ARCA championship in 2016 with Chase Briscoe. Due to the ailing health of owner Cunningham, the team closed at the end of the 2017 ARCA Racing Series season. On January 9, 2018, the sale of the team was announced. Longtime crew chief Chad Bryant bought the assets of the team to form Chad Bryant Racing. Bryant kept the same numbers and personnel from the old Cunningham team and signed Bo LeMastus and Joe Graf Jr. as his first drivers.

Team driver Justin Labonte ran a race at Michigan in 2003, finishing a lap down.

The Craftsman Truck Series branch of the organization was named CHS Motorsports with additional co-owner Eddie Hartman. The team aligned itself with Ganassi Racing in late 2007 to give Dario Franchitti his first NASCAR start, which he did not finish. Under the direction of Hartman the team ran in a part-time capacity for the next two years, starting with Tayler Malsam and Ryan Mathews in 2008. The team start and parked in 2009 with various drivers. In 2010 Hartman and Cunningham parted ways and Hartman formed a partnership with Eddie Sharp and ran two full races with Steve Park behind the wheel of the Toyota Tundra No. 41 (the team ran with Dodge Ram until 2009).

The team was going to attempt a partial schedule in the 2017 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season but the effort fell through.

Marc Brenner drove a partial schedule in the car in 2000 with backing from Outdoor Channel. He mostly ran in the mid-teens, cracking the top ten at Michigan and Kentucky. With Brenner driving the superspeedways, Roger Blackstock ran the short tracks, making the top ten at Flat Rock and Winchester.

Justin Labonte signed a driver development contract to pilot the No. 4 car at select superspeedways in 2001. Labonte attempted five races in 2001, finding success mostly at Nashville, leading fifty-two laps before problems mired him to finish in the mid-teens. He scaled back his schedule with the team in 2002, finishing only the season-opening race.

Besides Labonte, the early years of the team were tumultuous times, with a wide range of drivers who often start and parked. The team still ran a bit under half of the schedule as a full-distance team in 2001, with drivers such as Blackstock, Ronnie Hornaday, Kevin Belmont (brother of longtime ARCA racer Andy Belmont), and others. The team's lone top ten finish of the year came with Austin Cameron, an eighth at Kansas. The team delved farther into start and parking in 2002, running only three full races: one with Labonte, one with Jeff Caudell and one with rising sixteen year old Justin Allgaier in an association with his family team.
