NASCAR Cup Series Team Changing Names for 2025 Season

What’s Happening?

In 2025, the team formerly known as MBM Motorsports will become Garage 66. Former racer Carl Long owns the team, which has been a consistent part-time team in recent NASCAR history.

• Notably, MBM Motorsports will remain the name of the team’s Xfinity Series effort for 2025. But, the Cup Series team, which enters Ford’s, will be known as Garage 66.
• Despite being a part-time team, Garage 66 is already making headlines this month following its announcement to enter 65-year-old Mike Wallace in the Daytona 500. However, in the following days, NASCAR ruled Wallace ineligible for the 500, citing his lack of time behind the wheel since 2020.
• Since this drama, Wallace has sparked an online debate on whether or not NASCAR was justified in flagging him as ineligible for the race. This decision affected not only Wallace but Garage 66, who is currently without a driver for the 500
• Despite the lack of a driver, the team still plans to enter its third Daytona 500 but has yet to announce a driver. This name change, plus their return to the Cup Series last season, shows that the team is growing and making a larger commitment to its Cup Series program.
• Since 2017, Garage 66 has entered 127 NASCAR Cup Series races with 14 different drivers. The underdog team had the best finish of 14th in the 2017 Brickyard 400.
