MBM Motorsports
Motorsports Business Management LLC, operating as MBM Motorsports, Garage 66, Power Source, and sometimes known as Carl Long Motorsports, is an American professional stock car racing team that currently competes in the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, and ARCA Menards Series. MBM was co-owned and operated by Long and driver Derek White until early 2016, with full operation of the team being taken by Long and his family after White was arrested on smuggling charges.
In the NASCAR Cup Series, the team fields the No. 66 part-time for multiple drivers. In the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, the team fields the No. 69 part-time for multiple drivers. In the ARCA Menards Series the team fields the No. 66 part-time for Derek White. They have also competed in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in the past.
Before the 2014 Drive to Stop Diabetes 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway, Derek White and Carl Long created Motorsports Business Management. In 2016, White was arrested on tobacco smuggling charges, leading to his indefinite suspension by NASCAR. Ownership of the team was transferred to the Long family; officially, the team owner is listed as Long's father, Horace.
Until the end of the 2018 season, MBM Motorsports ran Dodge cars on a limited basis in addition to the other manufacturers, using engines leased from Team Penske from when Penske ran Dodges. The team switched to Toyotas starting in 2019, and team owner Carl Long appealed to the manufacturer for support.
In November 2021, Long and eight members of his team, including driver David Starr, tested positive for COVID-19 following the 2021 season finale at Phoenix Raceway. That led to Starr reuniting with his former Truck Series team SS-Green Light Racing in the Xfinity Series.
When the No. 13 became available following Germain Racing's shutdown, MBM renumbered their car again in 2021. Garrett Smithley attempted the 2021 Daytona 500, but was involved in an accident with Noah Gragson, leading them both to miss the race. The No. 13 returned at the NASCAR Open at Texas Motor Speedway with David Starr behind the wheel. Starr returned at Nashville and finished 35th. Timmy Hill scored the team's best finish of 27th at Texas.
During the 2018–19 offseason, MBM Motorsports hinted at running a second Cup car at some point in the 2019 season along with the usual No. 66. In late April, the team announced their intention to enter a second car in the Digital Ally 400 at Kansas, leading to Joey Gase driving the No. 46 Camry in the race.
In 2020, the No. 46 car was renumbered to No. 49. Chad Finchum failed to qualify for the 2020 Daytona 500 after finishing twentieth in Duel 1 of the 2020 Bluegreen Vacations Duels. Finchum also drove the No. 49 in the South Point 400, Hollywood Casino 400 and the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 500 with a best finish of 35th.
