Norm Benning Racing began fielding the No. 8 and No. 84 in the ARCA Racing Series in 1995. Team Owner Norm Benning was the primary driver, with other drivers filling out the other seat.

The No. 6 truck at Martinsville Speedway in 2017

Since 2008, Norm Benning Racing has fielded a truck. Beginning in 2009, Norm has run the full schedule despite having poor performing equipment and little to no funding. Beginning in 2011, Norm began fielding a second truck on a part-time basis to help fund the 57. In the 2013 Mudsummer Classic, Norm Benning and his team gained media attention when he beat Clay Greenfield to qualify in the 30th position. Midway through 2014, Norm changed his iconic 57 to the number 6 on his truck. The 2015 season began on a high note as Benning finished 14th at Daytona. However, the remainder of the season would prove to be very difficult. Lack of sponsorship would force Benning to do several start and parks. Towards the end of the season, the 6 began missing races as the poor finishes left the team ranking lower in points, plus the fields being cut from 36 to 32 trucks. 2016 would be a disastrous season, as the team failed to make any of the first 8 races. Midway through the season, Benning struck a deal with MB Motorsports to run the 63. Benning would run 7 races in the 63 and 1 race in the. 6, while missing 12, and not entering 1. Once again, 2017 began on a low note. After missing the first 3 races of the season, Benning was able to make the 4th race of the season at Kansas. Benning would also strike a deal with GMS Racing, purchasing the owner points from the 24 team, locking him into the all the remaining races. In 2018, Benning would again return, and was running in the top 10 at Daytona, but a fuel pump issue resulted in a 14th place finish. Benning's next highlight would come at Eldora, where he would have a strong run in his heat race. In the closing laps of the main event, Benning would be involved in an accident which saw the driver's side door ripped off the car.

The No. 57 truck at Rockingham Speedway in 2013

The 57 team debuted as the number 75, which NBR shared with Henderson Motorsports in 2011. The first race run by the team was with Mike Harmon behind the wheel. Harmon started and finished 33rd, parking the car after 6 laps. The truck ran sporadically throughout the season, driven by Johnny Borneman III, J.J. Yeley, Bobby Santos III, and James Hylton made his truck series debut at the age of 76 at Pocono. The team only ran twice in 2012, 4 times in 2013 and 6 times in 2014, although the team only ran one race as the 75. The team ran one race with the number 71, as the Henderson team had the 75 entered. After Benning switched to the 6, the 75 became the 57. The 57 made its lone appearance at Gateway in 2015, parking after one lap with Joey Gattina. Steve Fox withdrew at Pocono. After not running in 2016, the 57 returned exactly two years after its previous race at Gateway in 2017 with Tommy Regan driving. Several drivers like BJ McLeod and J.J. Yeley ran the 57 before Mike Senica became the primary driver. Senica announced that he was to drive the 57 fielded by Benning with several different companies sponsoring the truck, however Benning and Senica couldn't reach an agreement because Benning only wanted Senica to start and park the 57. The 57 then showed up at Martinsville with Jeff Zillweger behind the wheel. The 57 would withdraw after not showing enough speed to have a good chance of qualifying.
