AM Racing was an American professional stock car racing team that competed in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and ARCA Menards Series.
AM Racing merged into Niece Motorsports for the 2018 season, but split from Niece in 2019 and fielded its own entries again. In 2020, the team moved to the former Front Row Motorsports race shop in Statesville, North Carolina, which they shared with Jordan Anderson Racing and Win-Tron Racing, although the three teams did not merge and remained separate organizations.[1] However, on January 14, 2021, it was announced that AM and Win-Tron would be merging for 2021.[2] On November 24, 2025, it was announced that the team would be acquired by fellow ARCA team Sigma Performance Services starting in 2026. They would continue to field entries in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series as well as ARCA as SPS Racing, although on January 30, 2026, it was announced that the acquisition was never finalized.[3][4] On May 15, it was announced the team formally ceased operations.[5]

On October 7, 2022, the team announced that they would field an entry into the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2023.[6] It was announced on December 12 that Brett Moffitt would drive for the team full-time in the No. 25 in 2023.[7]
Hailie Deegan and multiple drivers (2024)

On September 23, 2023, AM Racing announced their desire to field a second Xfinity Series team in 2024.[8] On October 5, the team announced that they had signed Hailie Deegan to a multi-year deal to drive the No. 15 beginning the following season. AirBox, Inc. and Viva Tequila Seltzer were announced as the sponsors for the entry.[9]
On January 17, 2024, the team announced that they would not field the No. 25 in the season-opener at Daytona, as it most likely would be fielded later in the spring. The No. 25 points would then be moved to the No. 15.[10]
Following a string of disappointing finishes, AM Racing signed two-time Cup Series champion Joey Logano to replace Deegan for the Chicago street race, where he finished eighth.[11] On July 8, AM Racing and Deegan officially announced that they would go their separate ways.[12] Josh Berry signed to drive the No. 15 at Pocono and at Indy.[13] Lawless Alan was announced to make his Xfinty series debut in the No. 15 at Michigan.[14]

Harrison Burton was announced as the driver of the No. 25 car for the 2025 season on September 20, 2024.[15]

On October 8, 2025, Burton announced that he won't return to AM Racing for 2026.[16] On February 9, 2026, it was announced that Nick Sanchez would drive the No. 25 car for the 2026 season.[17]

In December 2015, it was announced that AM Racing would enter one truck in the Camping World Truck Series field, the No. 22 Toyota Tundra full-time for Austin Wayne Self.[21] The team's first race was the season opener at Daytona, where Self qualified the truck 19th and finished in that same position, one lap down. In the second race at Atlanta, Self qualified twentieth and finished sixteenth. Self failed to qualify for the third race at Martinsville, but raced with the No. 44 after Tommy Joe Martins crashed his only truck in qualifying and had no backup.[22] Self had variable runs throughout the first half of the season until he broke through for his first top ten, a ninth at the Aspen Dental Eldora Dirt Derby.[23]
The team's operations were taken over by Win-Tron Racing after twelve races. The Self family retained an ownership stake in the team.[24]
After the merger with Win-Tron, performance remained nearly the same, with Austin Wayne Self turning in runs from the teens to twenties. At Martinsville, the team replaced Self with Justin Fontaine, who would be making his Truck debut.[25] Fontaine qualified on owner points in 29th and moved up three places during the race to finish 26th. Self then took over the truck for the Striping Technology 350, finishing 22nd. For the Phoenix race, Self was again swapped out, this time for the son of NASCAR on NBC broadcaster Marty Snider, Myatt Snider. Snider qualified nineteenth and finished seventeenth. Self closed out the season at Homestead-Miami Speedway, finishing 25th.[26] The No. 22 truck finished 22nd in owner points in its debut season.[27]
For the 2017 season, AM Racing announced a partnership with Joe Gibbs Racing for engine power.[28] On February 10, 2017, it was announced that J. J. Yeley would drive the No. 22 Legrand Tundra at the season opener at Daytona, while Self would drive the No. 32 truck. The team would run five races in total during the year under the AM Racing banner, the other four with Self behind the wheel. AM partnered with Niece Motorsports and Martins Motorsports to run Self in most of the remaining races.
In October 2017, it was announced that Self would move to Niece Motorsports for the 2018 season.[29]
AM Racing reopened in 2019, with Self in the No. 22 for another full season. Self got the team their first top-five at Michigan Speedway. However, Self was suspended in April of that year due to violating NASCAR's substance abuse policy, and Bubba Wallace filled in for 2 races (at Martinsville and Texas in March) before Self was reinstated.[30]
Self returned full-time in 2020. He got two top-ten finishes that year, at Texas Motor Speedway and Martinsville Speedway, and finished sixteenth in points.[31]
In January 2024, the No. 22 truck owner points were bought by Reaume Brothers Racing.[32]
Austin Wayne Self piloted a second entry for the team, the No. 32, at the 2017 season-opener at Daytona. He finished a career-best second after avoiding the big one on the last lap.

AM Racing was an American professional stock car racing team that competed in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and ARCA Menards Series. AM Racing merged into Niece Motorsports for the 2018 season, but split from Niece in 2019 and fielded its own entries again. In 2020, the team moved to the former Front Row Motorsports race shop in Statesville, North Carolina, which they shared with Jordan Anderson Racing and Win-Tron Racing, although the three teams did not merge and remained separate organizations. However, on January 14, 2021, it was announced that AM and Win-Tron would be merging for 2021. On November 24, 2025, it was announced that the team would be acquired by fellow ARCA team Sigma Performance Services starting in 2026. They would continue to field entries in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series as well as ARCA as SPS Racing, although on January 30, 2026, it was announced that the acquisition was never finalized. On May 15, it was announced the team formally ceased operations.
Mid-Am Racing Series, formerly Mid American Stock Car Series is a regional stock car racing tour based in the Midwestern United States. Established in 1993, the series features purpose-built race cars that utilize chassis designs influenced by earlier generations of NASCAR Cup Series construction before the Car of Tomorrow era. These cars retain steel tube frames, rear-wheel drive layouts, and naturally aspirated V8 engines. Cars in the series utilize composite stock car bodies supplied by established manufacturers. These bodies follow a standardized North American short-track design that is also used in other regional and international stock car divisions, including competition in NASCAR Mexico. Body rules promote manufacturer identity—typically Chevrolet, Ford, or Dodge. The Mid-Am Racing Series competes on a varied schedule that includes paved short tracks, dirt ovals, and road course events across the Midwest, with races in states such as Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa.
There are two separately organised and run Australian motor racing series featuring cars designed and built for the TA2 class of the American Trans-Am series. While independently run, both series feature almost identical technical regulations and cars used for one series can be used for the other.
Grand-Am Road Racing or Grand-Am was an auto racing sanctioning body that was established in 1999 to organize road racing competitions in North America. Its primary focus was the Rolex Sports Car Series, an endurance racing championship series. It sanctioned five auto racing series. The series announced in September 2012 that it would be merging with the American Le Mans Series, which had been Grand-Am's main US competitor since its inception. The two series fully merged in 2014 under the banner of the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship, with the International Motor Sports Association.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
