SS-Green Light Racing
SS-Green Light Racing is an American professional stock car racing team that competes in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, fielding the No. 0 Chevrolet Camaro SS primarily for Garrett Smithley and the No. 07 Chevrolet Camaro SS for Josh Bilicki. The team has a technical alliance with Richard Childress Racing.
The team is owned by former driver Bobby Dotter, who also drove for the team in numerous races when he was still driving. Dotter is currently the team's sole owner, although at various points in the team's history, businessman Ken Smith (who left the team in July 2017) and Steve Urvan (in 2010 only) as well as Texas politician Gene Christensen (who unsuccessfully ran in the Republican primary for Texas's 4th congressional district in 2008) were co-owners of the team with Dotter.
Green Light began competing in the Truck Series in 2000 and merged with SS Racing in 2008 during the economic downturn, as teams merging was a common thing at the time, resulting in financial success and stability. SS Racing was a team that was competing in the ASA and had previously partnered with Green Light's Truck team on various occasions, but fully merged with GLR beginning that year. The team competed in the Truck Series each year until 2017 when they decided to focus on their Xfinity program.
On December 10, 2025, the team announced that it would be fielding the No. 0 car primarily for Garrett Smithley. Alex Labbé would drive the No. 0 at four road course events. Cole Custer would drive the No. 0 at five events starting at Las Vegas.
In 2016, the team announced that they would field the No. 07 full-time for Ray Black Jr. with sponsorship from ScubaLife.com in all the races. He picked up nine top-twenty finishes, with a best finish of fourteenth at Bristol in August. He finished nineteenth in the driver standings. Black returned to the No. 07 for 2017 but was replaced by Todd Bodine for Charlotte. It was later announced that Spencer Boyd and Andy Lally would drive at Pocono and Mid-Ohio respectively.
In 2019, Black Jr. returned to the team from a part-time ride with B. J. McLeod Motorsports to replace Boyd and would compete full-time again in the No. 07. He was announced to return to the team for the 2020 season as well.
On May 23, 2020, Black Jr. announced that he would no longer be driving the No. 07 in order to concentrate on helping his family business, the CDA Technical Institute, recover after it experienced financial problems due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After Black's departure, it was announced that Rick Ware Racing had cut a deal with SS-Green Light to field some of their drivers in the No. 07 for the remainder of the season. This began with Garrett Smithley in the car for Charlotte and Carson Ware, Rick's son, making his series debut at Bristol. The team's highlight of the year was when Gray Gaulding wheeled the 07 car to a 2nd-place finish at Daytona International Speedway when the top 4 wrecked on the final corner. Garrett Smithley scored a top 10 at Talladega, and Jade Buford scored a top-10 at Charlotte.
In 2021, Joe Graf Jr. ran most of the races in the No. 07 with Ross Chastain, J. J. Yeley and Josh Bilicki making appearances in the No. 07 throughout the season. Graf scored a top-ten finish in the Sparks 300.
