Car No. 33 history

edit
The No. 33 driven byLandon Cassillin the2013 STP Gas Booster 500

In 2011Joe Falk,former owner ofLJ Racing,returned to team ownership in theNASCARSprint Cup Series,running the No. 50 for LTD Powersports with driverT. J. Bellon a limited basis starting with theSouthern 500atDarlington Raceway.[1]Bell competed forRookie of the Yearduring the season,[2]but only qualified for five races, four of them with Falk's team, which failed to qualify for nine additional races.[3]

2012 and ROTY

edit

The team entered the No. 40 as Hillman Racing at the2012 Daytona 500forMichael Waltrip,and at Bristol forTony Raines,failing to qualify at Daytona and withdrawing from Bristol prior to practice. Before the April race at Texas, Falk announced that he was purchasing the No. 33 Sprint Cup Series team fromRichard Childress Racing.[4][5]The team, one Childress had planned to run for only the first five races of the season due to lack of sponsorship,[6]was transferred to Falk's ownership after the sixth race atMartinsville Speedway.[4]Falk and Mike Hillman formed Circle Sport to field the 33 team.[4]The 33 team ran Martinsville withHermie Sadleras a collaboration between Circle Sport and RCR.[6][7]The team's first race under full Circle Sport control was at Texas, whereTony Rainesdrove an unsponsored Chevrolet.[4][7][8]Falk planned to run a number of drivers in the car over the remainder of the season, including Raines,[8]Jeff Green,Stephen Leicht,Austin Dillon,HermieandElliott Sadler,andC. E. Falk.[6][9]However, in late May it was announced that Leicht would be competing for the team for the majority of the remainder of the season, attempting to winRookie of the Yearhonors,[10]except for the June race atMichigan,where Childress ran the No. 33 forAustin Dillon.[11]Cole Whittalso ran some races in astart-and-parkrole. Leicht would winRookie of the Yearhonors despite competing in just 15 races, finishing with a team-best 26th at Watkins Glen.

2013

edit

For 2013, Circle Sport maintained its alliance withRichard Childress Racing.[4]FormerBK RacingdriverLandon Cassilltook over the No. 33 for the majority of the season with Dillon andBrian Scottin the 33 as anRCRentry. For the road courses,road course ringerRon Fellowsran the 33 for Circle Sport with sponsorship fromCanadian Tire.[12]Following the introduction of the No. 40 entry at Indianapolis,[4]Tony RainesandLandon Cassillwould rotate seats in these cars when Circle Sport fielded both the 33 and 40 entries.

2014

edit

The 33 was run as anRCRentry for the first two races of 2014 withBrian Scottand family sponsors Shore Lodge and Whitetail Club.Timmy Hilldrove the next two races for Circle Sport. Hill was involved in a controversial wreck at Bristol immediately following an accident. Hill was running in last place, when Matt Kenseth (in second place at the time), checked up for a wreck in front of him. Hill did not see the caution lights and did not cut his speed, smashing into Kenseth's back bumper at high speed. Fox analystDarrell Waltripfirst stated in a harsh tone"Good grief.",and then called it a "rookie mistake" for Hill (who had run for rookie of the year in 2013), though he slightly recanted his harsh tone later in the broadcast.[13]

After Scott drove the 33 at Auto Club as an RCR entry,David Stremmetook over the Circle Sport entry at Martinsville, Darlington and Richmond, while failing to qualify at Texas. Scott and RCR ran the car again at Talladega (where Scott won the pole award) and Charlotte, with Hill returning to Circle Sport in between at Kansas. Stremme ran at Dover, Michigan and Kentucky, whileAlex Kennedyran at both Pocono races and the road courses, with more races possible.Bobby Labonteran an RCR car under the Circle Sport banner at Daytona in July, the same one that sat on the Talladega pole with Scott.

At theCamping World RV Sales 301atLoudonin July, 72-year-old veteranMorgan Shepherdran a Circle Sport car with Thunder Coal sponsoring its third race. The 33 team created another controversy when Shepherd wreckedJoey Logano,who was running second at the time. Shepherd was, as Logano pointed out, the slowest car on the racetrack. NASCAR defended Shepherd, saying he maintained a minimum running speed in relation to the leaders. Shepherd finished as the last car running in 39th place, 27 laps down.[14]

Stremme returned to the No. 33 at Indianapolis with Thunder Coal, but failed to qualify. After Kennedy's previously announced starts at Pocono and Watkins Glen, the team fielded him for a fifth time at Michigan. Stremme then ran Bristol.Ty Dillondrove an RCR entry atAtlantain August. Dillon had tested a car numbered 33 forFurniture Row RacingatTexasin March.[15]

At Richmond, the No. 33 was renumbered No. 90 to honorJunie Donlavey,with Stremme driving. The one-off was painted in the style of Donlavey's Truxmore-sponsored cars and the decklid contained the names of the 67 drivers who raced forDonlavey.Stremme was originally on the entry list at Chicagoland, but was replaced at the last minute byTravis Kvapil.Stremme ran New Hampshire and Dover, after which Hill returned for the second Kansas race and Charlotte. Stremme was again placed on the entry list at Talladega before being replaced by Kvapil, who delivered the No. 33 its first top ten finish (sixth, tying a career-best mark for Kvapil as well) under the Circle Sport banner on the same day Cassill piloted the No. 40 to the overall team's first top five. Kvapil would run Martinsville as well, with Hill returning again for Texas, in the final race of 2014 for the No. 33 under the Circle Sport banner.

RCR returned for the final two races of the season with Ty Dillon at Phoenix and Brian Scott at Homestead.

2015

edit
Derek Whitedriving the No. 33 at Loudon's2015 5-hour Energy 301

RCR drivers were scheduled to be in the No. 33 at the first three races of the season, with Ty Dillon at Daytona and Brian Scott at Atlanta and Las Vegas. However Scott, scheduled to run at Atlanta for Circle Sport, would give up his ride toHScott MotorsportsafterMichael Annettfailed to qualify his normal HScott ride (under NASCAR rules, Joe Falk was credited with the owner's points).[16]Road racerAlex Kennedyreturned to the team at Phoenix, became the primary driver of the No. 33 when under Circle Sport control and declaring for Rookie of the Year.[17]However,Derek Whitedrove the July race at New Hampshire, bringing sponsorship from Braille Battery and Grafoid. After Watkins Glen in August, Kennedy was replaced as Circle Sport's primary No. 33 driver with a series of drivers, includingMike BlissandB. J. McLeod.Kennedy returned to the team at Dover.

After the season, Falk joinedLeavine Family Racing's ownership group after splitting with Hillman, retaining control of the charter granted for the #33 and using it on Leavine's #95 for the season.[4]

In 2017, Circle Sport returned after merging with The Motorsports Group, with Jeffrey Earnhardt driving the No. 33.

In 2018, the team planned to run a limited schedule withJoey Gaseafter Falk partnered withGo FAS Racing,but the team did not make any attempts in the season.

There were talks ofAustin Theriaultrunning for this team in at least Loudon in 2019 in partnership with GFR, but plans ultimately fell through.

2015

edit

The No. 39 was placed on the entry list at Texas in April 2015, withTravis Kvapildriving. The car is part of theHillman Racing-Gordon Smith stable. However, the team opted to withdraw on the Wednesday before the race. The No. 39 made its next attempt at the Sprint Showdown atCharlotte Motor Speedway,also with Kvapil behind the wheel. Again, the team withdrew by Wednesday before the race. The week after at theCoca-Cola 600,the No. 39 was put on the initial entry list, and attempted the race. However, they posted the 42nd-fastest speed and, with no owner points to fall back on, failed to qualify. The team attempted the Dover race as well, but ran 37th, one spot short of qualifying on speed, and once again missed the race.

Car No. 40 history

edit

2012–2013: Part-time

edit

Falk and Hillman partnered to field a No. 40 Aaron's Toyota forMichael Waltripat the 2012 Daytona 500, using equipment fromMichael Waltrip Racing.However the team failed to qualify.[4]The No. 40 team also entered Bristol withTony Raines,but withdrew. Hillman and Falk then bought the points of RCR's No. 33 car before the Texas race, and used that number instead, fielding Chevrolets.[4]The No. 40 was not seen again until July 2013 at Indianapolis, Circle Sport, when the team began fielding the No. 40 as a second car. This move allowedLandon Cassilland Circle Sport to compete in races in which RCR driversAustin DillonandBrian Scottwere scheduled to run the No. 33 withRCR.Later, the team began entering the No. 40 during races when it also entered the No. 33.Tony Rainesand Cassill rotated seats in each entry.[4][18]

Cassill's best finish of the year was 22nd at the spring Talladega race, while the best finish for Raines was 29th at the fall Kansas race.

2014–2016

edit
Reed Sorensonin the No. 40 atDaytona International Speedwayin 2016

For 2014, Cassill was named the primary driver of the team's number 40 car, which entered full-time competition as the team's primary entry.[4]Cassill began the season with a 12th-place finish at theDaytona 500.He then failed to qualify for the next two races, but made every race after for the rest of the year, which included his and the team's first top five (and top ten) finish, a fourth at theGEICO 500atTalladega.In that same race, teammate Kvapil finished 6th in the 33. Carsforsale,Newtown Building Supplies,andCRC Brakleensponsored several races.

Cassill returned for his third season in the No. 40 in 2015. On February 12, businessmanGordon Smithjoined the team as co-owner, and the No. 40 team was rebranded as Hillman Smith Motorsports.[19]The team got off to a bad start, becoming the first team to finish last in the first two races after back-to-back engine failures. Cassill best finish was 13th at Daytona. Cassill left the team forFront Row Motorsportsfollowing the season. In January 2016,Premium Motorsportspurchased the No. 40 team, taking engines, cars, and most of the employees from the No. 40 car, including Mike Hillman. Falk and Hillman, meanwhile, ended their partnership.[4]

Though the No. 40 did not receive a charter for the 2016 season, the team attempted the Daytona 500 withReed Sorenson,failing to qualify.[4]After the DNQ, the team shut down later that week and auctioned their equipment toPremium Motorsports.Before closing their doors in July 2016, Hillman and the partners of Hillman Racing sued Joe Falk and Circle Sport for control of the #33's charter and all profits & benefits gained from the charter. The suit was settled on June 30 according to reporterBob Pockrasson Twitter.

Hillman Racing closed their doors in July 2016, with Mike Hillman Sr. taking a role as crew chief for the#46 team.The No. 33 operated until the end of 2017.
