In September 2007, Jeff Moorad and Tom Garfinkel of the Arizona Diamondbacks bought controlling interest in the team.

Originally founded in 2003, the team began competing at the beginning of the 2006 season with technical assistance from Joe Gibbs Racing. Hall of Fame Racing switched manufacturers in 2008, from Chevrolet to Toyota. The team is headquartered in Dallas, Texas, with its race shop maintained in Charlotte, North Carolina.

History

Hall of Fame Racing was first rumored in 2003, but it took three years to start competing. The team announced at Texas Motor Speedway on November 3, 2005, that for the 2006 season, the team would be operating only one car, the #96 sponsored by Texas Instruments' DLP technology. Terry Labonte drove the car for the first five races, placing it inside the top 35 in the point standings, and guaranteeing a starting spot in upcoming races. Labonte also drove the car at the two road courses, with Tony Raines taking control at the others. The team's highest finish in 2006 was third at Infineon Raceway, a road course, with Labonte at the wheel.

On September 4th, 2007, the team announced the hiring of former driver of the #18 Interstate Batteries Chevrolet for Joe Gibbs Racing, J.J. Yeley. The contract was to last throughout 2010, and it was announced that they would be switching to Toyota in 2008. In August of 2008, Hall of Fame Racing released Yeley, replacing him with Brad Coleman. Ken Schrader and Joey Logano are signed to finish out the 2008 racing season in the #96 with Coleman expected to run another race or 2. P. J. Jones also ran a one-off race for HOF Racing at Watkins Glen. [ [http://www.jayski.com/teams/96.htm Jayski's 96 Team page] ]
