In 2013, the team attempted Bristol summer race with Martin Roy but he failed to qualify.
In 2014, the team finally debuted NASCAR Xfinity Series with Martin Roy in six races, he make the field in five and only failed to qualify at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
In 2015, the team returned with Mario Gosselin and Martin Roy in a full-time schedule. [15] Martin Roy was in the No. 92 for some races. The No. 90 team itself ran full schedule but only 18 races with DGM Racing and the ride was split with SS-Green Light Racing.
In 2016, the No. 90 returned to the NASCAR Xfinity Series once again and is now almost full-time except for two races, one fielded once again by SS-Green Light Racing and the other one fielded by B. J. McLeod Motorsports.
In 2017, the team returned full-time again but now only for 21 races with King, and the ride was split with Brandonbilt Motorsports that fielded the car in the other twelve.

Preston Pardus was to drive the 91 at the Daytona Road Course but was excluded from the field due to the team being outside of the top 35 in owners' points and the lack of qualifying, so he was moved over to the No. 90.

The No. 92 is the second team for DGM Racing and the team was created in 2015. [24] The No. 92 runs a limited schedule with various drivers. This team is sometimes a late-entry to complete the 38-car field, and almost always is a start and park car.
In 2020, it was announced that Josh Williams would drive the 92 full-time. Williams earned his best career finish, finishing sixth at Kansas Speedway.
In 2021, Williams returned for another full-time season. [25]
