History

Cup Series

After 44 starts driving for Bill Gray (and one forRod Osterlund), Means made his debut as an owner in 1978 when he fielded the No. 52Chevrolet.He had two top-tens and finished sixteenth in points. He expanded to a multi-car team briefly, fielding the No. 25 for Charlie Chamblee at Nashville, the No. 53 forCecil GordonatNorth Wilkesboro Speedway,and the No. 50 forBaxter PriceatTexas World Speedway.His best years driving his car were from 1980 to 1983, when he finished no worse than 18th in the standings and had an average finish of 20th or better in all 4 seasons.

While remaining the primary driver of his car, in 1983, he stepped aside forLennie PondatMichigan International Speedway,who finished 22nd. In 1984, Means was injured and was replaced byDale Jarrett,Sterling Marlin,Morgan Shepherd,Roy SmithandBobby Wawak,and Means drove the No. 52 solely for the next six years. In 1991, Means gave up the No. 52 on two occasions;Bobby Hillin Jr.drove atDoverandSears Point(finishing 19th and 21st), andMike Wallace(finishing 31st and 39th) atPhoenixandAtlanta.In the early 1990s he frequently handed the wheel over to other drivers, including Hillin Jr, road racing aceTommy Kendall;future IRL championScott Sharp;and futureCraftsman Truck SerieschampMike Skinner.He also fielded occasional second entries for other drivers, includingJohn McFadden,Mike Potter,andBrad Teague.

Means secured new sponsorship fromNAPAfor the1993 season,but he was injured at Daytona. His temporary replacement was newNASCAR Rookie of the YearJimmy Hensley.Means returned to finish 22nd atAtlanta.In what proved to be his final year as a driver, he was later 16th in thespring race at Bristol,18th in Bristol's fall race, and 17th at Dover in September before his final race atRockingham that fall.Besides Means' performances, the team's best result was 25th atRockingham in Februaryby Hensley. In 1994, the team's primary driver was Brad Teague, whose best finish in 8 starts was 22nd at Bristol in the summer. 4 other drivers competed once each in the No. 52 NAPA Ford in 1994. Mike Skinner finished 31st at Rockingham in February,Kirk Shelmerdine(former crew chief forDale Earnhardt) was 26th at Talladega in May,Bob Keselowskiwas 41st at Pocono in June, andGary Bradberrycame home 30th in the season-ending Hooters 500 at Atlanta. In 1995, NAPA moved to the newNASCAR SuperTruck Seriesto sponsorRon Hornaday Jr.and therefore did not return to sponsor Means Racing. The team picked up some sponsorship from Advance Communications/Race Page, but failed to qualify in all of their attempts with Bradberry, Teague, andRandy MacDonaldsharing the car. The team attempted every race to start the year but then scaled back to part-time after the numerous DNQs, only running at the fall Darlington race with Teague, but again failing to make the field. The team closed down in 1996.

In 2012, the team announced that they would be returning to the Cup Series for the first time since 1995, fielding the No. 52 Toyota part-time for Scott Speed andMike Skinnerin a partnership with Dell Hamilton, running as Hamilton Means Racing.After many problems acquiring equipment and preparing cars, Speed attempted Martinsville but didn't qualify. The team made their debut at Darlington. The team picked up some sponsorship from Crusader Staffing. Skinner started and parked the car in their first race after 20 laps. Skinner tried again at Kentucky but did not qualify. In 2013, Means sold his owner points toBrian Keselowski Motorsports.

Car No. 52 history

In 2001, Means Racing returned to NASCAR in theBusch Serieswith a partnership withMoy Racing.They began the season withJason Rudd,who ran the first race for the team, andBrad Teague,who ran five races total for them that season, his best finish a 38th atWatkins Glen International.Gaylord also returned to run two races, both resulting in 42nd-place finishes.Kertus Davis,Ricky SandersandAndy Kirbyalso drove for the team that year. In 2002, Teague drove eleven races for the team, his best finish 38th atNazareth Speedway.Jimmy Kitchens,Phil BonifieldandEric Jonesdrove part-time as well for the team that year. Teague made 11 starts for Means in 2003, withDonnie Neuenbergerrunning an additional two races.

In 2004,Bruce Bechteljoined as another driver to the team. He made several attempts but only made one race, at Pikes Peak. Teague continued to run with the team, his best finish being a 26th at Bristol. The next season,Shane Hallwas the team's original driver but was soon released.Eric McClurebegan running with the team, with a best finish of 30th atTexas Motor Speedway,but was released in favor of Neuenberger. At theDover 200,Neuenberger flipped over the Plan B TechnologiesFord Tauruson Lap 2. He was uninjured, but as that was the team's only car, the team did not run again for a year.

The No. 52 returned for the 2007Orbitz 300at Daytona but failed to qualify with Brad Teague at the wheel. Teague, Neuenberger,Kevin Lepage,Jamie MosleyandIan Hendersonhad driven throughout the season, withScott Gaylorddriving at Montreal, Phoenix, and Watkins Glen.Chris Lawsonattempted but did not qualify at Memphis. Neuenberger drove four races with Royal Farms' sponsorship.

Derrike Copewas the team's driver for the first part of2008 season.At the Diamond Hill Plywood 200 at Darlington, Cope was replaced by Brad Teague. Teague finished 22nd, 4 laps down. Teague mostly drove the car in 2008, but Neuenberger sometimes raced with Lepage,Scott Gaylord,Tony RainesandBoris Saidoccasionally drove. The 2009 season in the nationwide series was up and down for Means racing, with very many drivers. They were a "start and park" operation and missed several races.

Ryan Ellisat Road America in 2012

For 2011, they returned to the Nationwide Series full-time in the No. 52 Chevy. Target Your Market Promotions and My 3 Sons Vending sponsored the team numerous times and continued to do so, off and on throughout the year. AfterBobby Santos IIItook a hard hit during practice for the season opener in Daytona,Dale Earnhardt Jr.gave the team the No. 88 backup car, on the condition that Means Racing would run the whole race with the car, and not Start and Park. Means Racing did run the whole race, they would end up finishing 17th. Since Daytona, the team has run with several other drivers, including Daryl Harr, Tim Schendel, and Tony Raines.

For 2012, the team ran Daytona with driver former Cup driverReed Sorenson,and then switched between drivers Tim Schendel, Kevin Lepage, Joey Gase, Justin Jennings and Ryan Ellis for one race. The team achieved a spot in the top-30, locking them into the first five races. The team's best finish was a 19th at Kansas with Gase.

In 2013, the No. 52 team mainly used driver Gase, for 18 total races.Means also used Donnie Neuenberger, Lepage, Schendel and Ellis each for one race. The year's best finish was also 19th, but this time at Talladega with driver Neuenberger. Toyotas were driven for 7 of the 22 races with Chevrolet cars used the other races.

In 2017, Gase started on a high note a 7th-place finish at Daytona.

David StarratDaytonain February 2019

Starr at Road America in 2019

In 2018, Gase left JMR and moved to theGo Green/SS-Green Light RacingNo. 35 car. The team would signDavid Starrto replace him for the full season. He started the season with a 17th-place finish in the season-opener at Daytona. Starr continued to drive for the team in 2019.

Starr left forJD Motorsportsin 2020 and was replaced byKody Vanderwal,who ran all but the first three races of the season, which were run byJ. J. Yeley.Due to the team needing more sponsorship, which Vanderwal did not bring to the team, he did not return in 2021.

In 2021 NASCAR Xfinity Series,Gray Gaulding,who brought his own sponsorship to the team, would replace Vanderwal in the No. 52.Gaulding entered 21 races and he failed to qualify 4 races.Gase would return with the team atPocono,Talladega,Texas,Kansas,and season finale atPhoenix.At Talladega, the team fields a Ford that is owned by Gase himself instead of their usual Chevrolet.Gase failed to qualify at Phoenix.Spencer Boyddrove for the team atNew Hampshire,Daytona,Charlotte Roval,andMartinsville.Dave Smithmade starts with the team atWatkins Glen.Japanese driverAkinori Ogatadrove for the team atRichmond.AtVegas,JMR lent their owner points toRick Ware Racingso they could field a second car forCarson Ware.

In 2022,Harrison Rhodesdrove the No. 52 at Daytona, as well as the three west coast races at Auto Club, Las Vegas and Phoenix.The team ended up skipping the west coast swing due to a lack of sponsorship but returned atAtlanta.Gar Robinsonwould drive the No. 52 atCircuit of the Americas,but did not qualify. Rhodes returned for the races at Richmond, where he did not qualify, and Martinsville, which they did not qualify as well. Means' 52 team did not attempt a race until they had subsequent sponsorship.
