Tim Viens
Timothy Neil Viens (born October 10, 1976) is an American professional stock car racing driver and team owner. He last competed part-time in the ARCA Menards Series, driving the No. 31 Toyota Camry for Rise Motorsports. He has also competed in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
Viens made his ARCA debut in 2012 at Salem driving the No. 67 Dodge for Carter 2 Motorsports, but finished last in the race as a did not start. Viens did not make any other starts that year or in 2013.
He returned to the team in 2014 for what appeared to be a full season run. He started the season in their No. 97 car, and when he did not qualify for the races at Toledo Speedway and New Jersey Motorsports Park, he moved into the Wayne Peterson Racing No. 06 Chevrolet. After seven races, Viens did not return to C2M and was without a ride until the Peterson team picked him back up for three starts. He ran one race in each of their cars: Chicago in the No. 06, Pocono in the No. 00, and Kansas in the No. 0.
In 2015, Viens returned to run part-time for Wayne Peterson and his team. He made a total of five starts that year, running Nashville, Talladega, both Pocono races, and Kentucky. In those five races, he drove all four Peterson cars at least once: the No. 00, the No. 0, the No. 06, and the No. 08. He did not finish in all of his starts. His most recent ARCA starts came in 2016, where he drove the WPR No. 06 at Daytona and Talladega.
On February 3, 2025, it was announced that Viens would return to the now-ARCA Menards Series to compete part-time in the No. 31 Toyota for Rise Motorsports.
Viens debuted in the Truck Series in 2015. He attempted 4 races in 2015 but failed to qualify for two. He withdrew from the 4th race he attempted in 2015. Viens made only one start in 2015. Viens returned in 2016, attempting 5 races and starting 3. He failed to qualify for one of them and withdrew from one. In 2017, Viens returned to drive the No. 1 truck for TJL Motorsports at Daytona, but failed to qualify. After not making another attempt in 2017, he returned in early with 2018 at Atlanta with Mike Harmon's No. 74, failing to qualify.
After originally announcing an effort with Mike Affarano Motorsports for the 2020 Daytona race, the team's hauler slid off a highway en route to the track and was not able to compete. After failing to qualify for Charlotte and Atlanta, Viens and the No. 03 were supposed to run at Homestead-Miami but the No. 03 failed pre-race inspection and NASCAR forced them to withdraw since the repairs could not be made at the track. After that incident, Viens and Mike Affarano Motorsports parted ways. Viens later joined CMI Motorsports for a part-time Truck schedule beginning at Pocono.
Viens would rejoin CMI Motorsports in 2021, initially stating he was running full time in the No. 83 truck. In his first attempt to qualify in the 2021 season at the NextEra Energy 250 at Daytona, while getting ready for his qualifying run, the driveshaft of his truck fell off the car, and thus Viens could not set a time and failed to qualify. Due to a combination of factors, including his DNQ, NASCAR's qualifying format for races without such sessions, lack of owner's points, and the number of cars entered, Viens DNQ'd again at the BrakeBest Select 159 at the Daytona International Speedway road course.
