History
Brett Moffitt in the No. 02 at Pocono Raceway in 2020

The team fielded the No. 22 full-time for Tommy Barrett Jr. in the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour in 2014. The following year, they attempted to make their debut in the ARCA Racing Series at Daytona with Barrett Jr. driving the No. 7 car, but he did not end up qualifying for the race. It was the only ARCA race the team attempted that year.

In 2016, they returned to ARCA at Talladega with the No. 02 Chevrolet driven by defending NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour champion Andy Seuss. The team had a great qualifying run, starting 10th, but encountered a failure in the brake system and finished 31st. They did not run any other races until Daytona in 2017, where Seuss returned to drive the No. 02 and finished 20th. They returned to Talladega a few months later and impressively, Seuss came from a 33rd-place starting position to finish 2nd in the race. They then attempted the race at Chicagoland in September, the team's first ever non-restrictor plate start in ARCA.

For 2018, Seuss and Our attempted Daytona and Talladega again along with the new ARCA race at Charlotte. The team fielded a second car for the first time at Talladega that year, which was the No. 6 for Josh Williams.[1]

The team fielded two cars again at Daytona in 2019, with Seuss back in the No. 02 and C. J. McLaughlin in the No. 09. McLaughlin landed the ride after driving for the team at ARCA's Daytona testing in January.[2] Both drivers would run a few races each in their respective cars throughout the season, with Seuss and the No. 02 team racing at Talladega and Charlotte like they did in 2018, and McLaughlin and the No. 09 team running those same three races along with Pocono and Michigan in June.

On October 30, 2019, Our Motorsports announced at the NASCAR Hall of Fame that they would be fielding a full-time team in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, the No. 02 Chevrolet, with Seuss sharing the ride with multiple other drivers that were not announced at that time.[3] Brett Moffitt joined the team for originally a four-race schedule on January 30, 2020.[4] The team purchased cars and equipment from GMS Racing, which closed down their Xfinity team after the 2019 season.[5] The team would also continue to compete in ARCA part-time in 2020, though they only did the race at Daytona with Seuss in the No. 02 and Benny Chastain in the No. 09.
