Truck No. 44 History

While in search for their first series start, owner Shane Lamb acquired the owner points of the No. 44 for Martins Motorsports after round 3 of the season at Martinsville. Martins' team would be focusing on the Xfinity Series from now on. [5] The team wanted to start racing with Donnie Levister right away with Shane Lamb listed as the owner, but NASCAR would not approve due to Levister's lack of experience. Lamb And Levister also switched back to Chevrolet after running a Toyota last season. As a result, the team hired Matt Mills to drive before Levister would be eligible. Mills competed at Kansas, Charlotte, and Dover. Mills was running at the finish in all events finishing 17th, 24th, and 17th. [6] The team planned to enter Texas with Mills, but they later withdrew.

Truck No. 62 History

In early 2016, the team announced they would run a Toyota full-time for Donnie Levister with sponsorship from Property Pro's and Shawn Magee Design. However, after not entering Daytona or Atlanta, and withdrawing from Martinsville, [7] the team scaled back to a part-time schedule. The team initially wanted to be No. 22 but however AM Racing acquire rights of the No. 22, so they instead chose the No. 62. The team returned at the 11th race at Eldora with Levister, [8] but they withdrew before practicing. They returned for the 20th race at Martinsville, again with Levister. After qualifying 35th out of 36 trucks, they failed to qualify.
