NASCAR Nationwide Series team . It began in 2001 in theCraftsman Truck Series as #6 withMorgan Shepherd as the owner/driver andRed Line Oil sponsoring, running under the moniker Victory in Jesus Racing. It moved up toNextel Cup the next year, changing its number from 6 to 89. It debuted atNew Hampshire International Speedway and ran four more races that year, each ending in a DNF andRacing with Jesus taking over sponsorship. After 2002, the team ran a part time schedule for Shepherd.In 2006, two Christian businessmen, Bryan and Tony Mullet, began investing in the team, which brought about a name change from Victory in Jesus Racing to Victory Motorsports. After not making the field for each of the early attempts, Shepherd sold the team to Mullet and
Dutch Quality Stone and the team changed its name to CJM Racing.Kertus Davis andDavid Gilliland , as well asBrent Sherman , took over the newly-renumbered #72 car. Mke Skinner drove the car for 2 races of the season.Brandon Whitt was announced as the team's Cup driver for 2007, but after three races, they switched to the Busch Series and the #11.Jason Keller served as the team's driver. They were sponsored byForce Protection Inc. and vehicle history companyCarfax . Keller was moderately successful in the #11, with four of his five top 10 finishes for 2007 coming in that car. Keller also made his historic 418th start in the #11, beating the record set byTommy Houston .CJM started 2008 unsponsored, but got a one race deal in Vegas from
America's Incredible Pizza Company , which eventually turned into a race by race sponsorship and eventually a season long sponsorship. TheAmerica's Incredible Pizza Company and CJM Racing actually signed a six year agreement. CJM Racing's owners will become partners in the company and will open and operate new stores under the agreement. AIPC on the other hand will take half of their profits and put it into the race team. CJM will take half of its winnings (not profits) and donate them to the APIC charities of choice. It was announced that in 2009 the team will switch toToyota with technical support fromJoe Gibbs Racing . However, in late 2008, the team decided that it was in their best interest to inform Jason Keller, the driver for the team since its' Nationwide Series conception, that it was going in a different direction. With this move, Keller joinedBaker-Curb Racing and it's #27Kleenex Ford team. The team signed former Chip Gannasi Racing driver, Scott Lagasse Jr. for the rest of 2008 and all of next year behind the wheel of the #11 America's Incredible Pizza Company Toyota.External links
