'''Michael Waltrip Racing Holdings LLC''', doing business as '''Michael Waltrip Racing''' ("MWR"), was an American professional [[stock car racing]] team that last competed full-time in the [[NASCAR]] [[Sprint Cup Series]]. The company was as a 50–50 partnership between [[Rob Kauffman (businessman)|Robert Kauffman]], the founder and managing partner of [[Fortress Investment Group]],  and two-time [[Daytona 500]] winner [[Michael Waltrip]], who first established the team in 1996 in the [[Busch Series]] (now Xfinity Series).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.scenedaily.com/stories/2007/10/08/scene_daily448.html|title=MWR names 50 percent partner|work=SceneDaily|publisher=SceneDaily|first=Rea|last=White|date=October 12, 2007|access-date=2007-10-13|archive-date=October 13, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071013121611/http://www.scenedaily.com/stories/2007/10/08/scene_daily448.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>  The team was the first full-time three-car team to field [[Toyota Camry]]s when [[Toyota]] entered the Sprint Cup racing fold in 2007, before being joined by [[Joe Gibbs Racing]] in 2008. MWR was also the last original Toyota team in the Sprint Cup Series to still be in operation, as [[Bill Davis Racing]] and [[Red Bull Racing Team]] had both ceased operations in the preceding years.

The team last fielded the No. 15 [[Toyota Camry]] for [[Clint Bowyer]] and the No. 55 Camry for [[David Ragan]]. [[Brian Vickers]] would normally drive the No. 55, but repeated health problems including blood clotting forced him out for much of 2015. Development driver [[Brett Moffitt]] and team owner Waltrip also competed in the car.

==History==
Michael Waltrip Racing began racing in the [[Winston Cup Series]] in [[2002 NASCAR Winston Cup Series|2002]], making its debut at the 2002 [[Aaron's 499]]. The car was the No. 98 [[Aaron's, Inc.|Aaron's]] [[Chevrolet Monte Carlo]] driven by [[Kenny Wallace]].  Wallace qualified 27th and finished 21st. Following that first race, Waltrip sold the No. 98 and its owner points to [[Innovative Motorsports]].

After that, MWR fielded one Cup Series car, the No. 00, on an intermittent basis through 2005. In 2006, MWR, in partnership with [[Bill Davis Racing]], added a second car, Waltrip's No. 55, but neither car had manufacturer support due to [[DaimlerChrysler]] suing BDR for breach of contract.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Daily/Issues/2006/11/Issue-48/Sponsorships-Advertising-Marketing/Dodge-Bill-Davis-Racing-Reach-Settlement-In-Lawsuit.aspx|title=Dodge, Bill Davis Racing Reach Settlement In Lawsuit|work=[[American City Business Journals|Sports Business Daily]]|date=November 17, 2006|access-date=March 8, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://casetext.com/case/daimlerchrysler-motors-v-bill-davis-racing |title=DaimlerChrysler Motors v. Bill Davis Racing |website=Casetext |access-date=March 8, 2022}}</ref>

In 2006, MWR signed an agreement with [[Toyota]] to field multiple [[Toyota Camry]]s in the Nextel Cup Series for 2007.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.race2win.net/wc/06/mwrtoyota.html |title=Michael Waltrip Racing and Toyota Enter NASCAR Nextel Cup Series Competition Together in 2007 |access-date=March 11, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110717181342/http://www.race2win.net/wc/06/mwrtoyota.html |archive-date=July 17, 2011 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}</ref>  Waltrip was then able to add a third car driven by [[Dale Jarrett]] to his team for 2007, along with new sponsors.<ref>[http://automotive.dow.com/this/news/current/20070202a.htm "Dow Automotive Announces Marketing Partnership with Michael Waltrip Racing, Dale Jarrett and No. 44 UPS Toyota Team"], Feb. 2, 2007.</ref>

However, the MWR team had a disastrous season. In February, Waltrip's teams were disallowed from their starting spots in the [[2007 Daytona 500|Daytona 500]] due to an illegal fuel additive. The team members each faced a $100,000 fine and many team members were suspended. Though they backed up their qualifications by using back-up cars they suffered a terrible year. The team was unable to recover, failing to qualify for many events and losing sponsors such as [[Burger King]] and [[Domino's Pizza]]. Waltrip partnered with British-American billionaire [[Rob Kauffman (businessman)|Rob Kauffman]] as a 50% co-owner in order to fix the problem.<ref name="David Caraviello"/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601079&sid=a1vcBrZfQsrM|title=Fortress's Kauffman Buys Stake in Waltrip Nascar Team |date=2007-10-12|first=Gene|last=Laverty |publisher=[[Bloomberg L.P.]]|access-date=2009-07-10}}</ref>

After the season, an ugly controversy emerged with [[Jack Roush]] of [[Roush Fenway Racing]], who accused MWR of stealing one of his team's sway bars after a September 2007 race.  While Waltrip and some other drivers, such as [[Jeff Gordon]], argued that parts are often inadvertently swapped during post-race inspection, Roush held a lengthy news conference in March 2008 to accuse "the non-descript Toyota team" (MWR) of deliberately stealing the bar and threatened legal action.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nascar.com/2008/news/headlines/cup/03/29/mwaltrip.responds.partgate.jroush/index.html |title=News & Media &#124; NASCAR Sprint Cup Series |publisher=NASCAR.com |access-date=2013-10-19}}</ref>  However, Roush, who had previously accused Toyota teams of being "ankle-biting Chihuahuas" and brought up [[Attack on Pearl Harbor|Pearl Harbor]] in his effort to keep Toyota out of NASCAR,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/racing/news/story?seriesId=2&id=3311679|title=Roush accused unknown Toyota team of possessing proprietary part|first=Terry|last=Blount|date=2008-03-25|publisher=[[ESPN]]|access-date=2009-07-08}}</ref> did not pursue such a lawsuit as NASCAR declared that the Toyota teams did nothing wrong and that Roush's ideas against Toyota were ridiculous.

For 2008, MWR once again added [[Aaron's, Inc.|Aaron's]] as a sponsor and ran competitively, but again managed only one pole and just one top-5 finish, and [[United Parcel Service|UPS]] withdrew as a sponsor after Jarrett retired and transferred its sponsorship to MWR's archrivals Roush Fenway.  In 2009, MWR was forced to form a technical alliance with [[JTG Daugherty Racing]] to have sponsorship for its third car.  However, during this season, MWR finally achieved success as a [[Sprint Cup Series|Sprint Cup]] team, including winning a race and placing two cars in the top six two weeks later.  Both of those cars ended up in the top 20 for the year.  For 2010, MWR added [[Martin Truex Jr.]] as a full-time Sprint Cup driver.<ref>[http://racewayreport.com/news/michael_waltrip_racing.html Official: Martin Truex to Michael Waltrip Racing]</ref>  Michael Waltrip continued as a part-time driver, while also adding on talent such as former RCR crew chief Scott Miller, and hiring drivers [[Mark Martin]], [[Clint Bowyer]], and [[Brian Vickers]].

In 2013, controversy arose in the [[2013 Federated Auto Parts 400|Federated Auto Parts 400]].  [[Clint Bowyer]] spun out with seven laps to go, forcing a caution.  Rumors abounded postrace that Bowyer had deliberately forced a caution to help Truex into the Chase.  Truex was just ahead of [[Ryan Newman (racing driver)|Ryan Newman]] for the final Chase wildcard slot.  They gained even further credence when it was revealed the third MWR driver, [[Brian Vickers]], had pitted after the restart on orders from general manager [[Ty Norris]], who was serving as his spotter.  As it turned out, by the time Newman was able to pit, he lost several spots and ultimately finished third, tying him with Truex in points.  However, Truex got the final wildcard spot in the Chase via a tiebreaker.<ref name="Penalties">{{cite web|last=Fryer|first=Jenna|url=https://abcnews.go.com/Sports/wireStory/ap-sources-nascar-boots-truex-chase-20206868|title=AP Sources: Gordon Replaces Truex in NASCAR Chase|publisher=[[ABC News (United States)|ABC News]]|date=2013-09-10|access-date=2013-09-09}}</ref> An investigation was unable to turn up conclusive evidence that Bowyer's spin was deliberate, but did find that Norris had tried to manipulate the race and Chase standings by having Vickers pit.  As a result, NASCAR issued some of the stiffest penalties imposed on a team in its history.  It fined MWR a record $300,000 and docked all three MWR teams 50 driver/owner points prior to points being reset for the Chase.  The point penalty had the effect of ejecting Truex from the Chase and putting Newman in as the last wild card. Gordon would be put in as the 13th entrant after NASCAR was unable to eject [[Joey Logano]] from the Chase due to his involvement in another race manipulation scheme that same race. Norris was suspended indefinitely, while crew chiefs [[Brian Pattie]], [[Scott Miller (racing)|Scott Miler]] and [[Chad Johnston]] were placed on probation until December 31.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/2013/09/09/nascar-sprint-cup-richmond-penalties-mwr-chase.html|title=NASCAR Penalizes Michael Waltrip Racing|work=[[NASCAR]]|date=2013-09-09|access-date=2013-09-09}}</ref> To make matters worse [[NAPA Auto Parts]], who had sponsored Waltrip in both his driving and ownership roles since 2001, elected to end its business relationship with MWR following the incident, a decision that forced Waltrip to release Truex from his contract.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFVTIpLGLRE Race HUB - MWR Loses NAPA Sponsorship]</ref> On August 19, 2015, co-owner Rob Kauffman announced that MWR would cease full-time racing after 2015.<ref name="Fox-MWR-Kauffman-Aug2015">{{cite news|last1=Pennell|first1=Jay|title=Co-owner Rob Kauffman reveals why he's moving on from MWR|url=http://www.foxsports.com/nascar/story/rob-kauffman-speaks-michael-waltrip-racing-clint-bowyer-bristol-motor-speedway-082115|access-date=27 February 2016|work=[[Fox Sports]]|date=August 21, 2015|location=[[Bristol, Tennessee]]}}</ref> Much of the MWR equipment and several employees went to [[BK Racing]] for 2016.<ref name="Motorsport-NoMWR-Feb2016">{{cite news|last1=DeGroot|first1=Nick|title=Michael Waltrip facing bittersweet Daytona 500 without MWR|url=http://www.motorsport.com/nascar-cup/news/michael-waltrip-facing-bittersweet-daytona-500-without-mwr-673950/|access-date=27 February 2016|work=motorsport.com|date=February 17, 2016}}</ref> They also sold their two charters to [[Stewart-Haas Racing]] and [[Joe Gibbs Racing]], which currently use them as the No. 41 and No. 19, respectively.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.jayski.com/nascar-charters/ |title=NASCAR Charters |website=[[Jayski's Silly Season Site]] |publisher=NASCAR Digital Media, LLC. |access-date=October 24, 2020}}</ref>

After shutting down, MWR was embroiled in an ugly lawsuit with former tire changer Brandon Hopkins who sued the team for wrongful firing, defamation, and interference with finding work at another team. MWR counterclaimed that Hopkins stole pit road guns which was the cause of the firing. The suit was settled out of court in November, 2017.

==Sprint Cup Series==

===Car No. 00 history===
;Part Time (2002-2006)
The first race for the No. 00 was at the [[Tropicana 400]], with [[Jerry Nadeau]] driving. Nadeau qualified 34th but finished 37th after suffering a steering failure. MWR attempted another race that season, the [[Pep Boys Auto 500|NAPA 500]] with [[Buckshot Jones]] driving with a sponsorship from [[Charter Pipeline]], but he failed to qualify due to rain. Jones ran the [[EA Sports 500]] the following season, where he started 16th and led 19 laps before being relegated to 40th due to a crash. He attempted Atlanta again, but failed to qualify. [[Mike Skinner (racing driver)|Mike Skinner]] closed out the year for MWR at the [[Ford 400]], qualifying 17th, but finishing 39th after a wreck.

In [[2004 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series|2004]], Kenny Wallace returned to MWR in the No. 00. Running four races for the team, his best finish was a 22nd at [[Homestead-Miami Speedway]]. Wallace ran two races in [[2005 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series|2005]], finishing 27th at [[Darlington Raceway]]. [[Johnny Benson]] ran a pair of races that season as well, but did not finish any higher than 42nd. [[David Reutimann]], who drove for [[Darrell Waltrip Motorsports|Waltrip's brother Darrell]] in the [[Craftsman Truck Series]], made his Cup debut at [[Lowe's Motor Speedway]] that season, qualifying 26th and finishing 22nd. In [[2006 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series|2006]], the No. 00 ran under two separate entries. The first ran with listed owners Mike and Bonnie Anderson under the name '''MBA Racing'''. It campaigned [[Ford Fusion (North American)|Ford Fusions]] with [[Hermie Sadler]] driving. He made only three starts, with his best finish 40th at the [[Daytona 500]]. The other was the MWR car with Waltrip as the listed owner. [[Bill Elliott]] drove the Monte Carlo in five races in 2006 with a sponsorship from [[Burger King]].

;David Reutimann (2007-2008)
[[David Reutimann]] was tapped to drive the No. 00 [[Toyota Camry]] in [[2007 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series|2007]], with full-time primary sponsorships from Burger King and [[Domino's Pizza]]. He competed for the [[NASCAR Rookie of the Year|Rookie of the Year]] title as well as the Nextel Cup championship. However, the team struggled to qualify for races, as did other Toyota teams, making only 26 of 36 races in the season. Reutimann experienced one of the hardest crashes ever recorded at the [[2007 Auto Club 500]] at [[California Speedway]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/racing/news/story?seriesId=2&id=2780606|title=Reutimann's crash among hardest ever recorded|publisher=ESPN|first=Marty|last=Smith|date=March 5, 2007|access-date=2007-02-07}}</ref> Because of the struggles, the team finished 39th in points and had a best finish of 13th. Burger King and Domino's then pulled their sponsorship for 2008.

;Michael McDowell (2008)
Reutimann opened 2008 in the No. 00 with backing from [[Aaron Rents|Aaron's]]. After the first five races Reutimann moved to MWR's No. 44 [[United Parcel Service|UPS]] Toyota and [[Michael McDowell (racing driver)|Michael McDowell]] took over the No. 00. However, McDowell struggled to keep the car in the Top 35 in owner points, which is necessary for automatic qualification into each race, and was replaced near the end of the season by [[Mike Skinner (racing driver)|Mike Skinner]] in an effort to reclaim a Top 35 spot.  In October 2008, MWR transferred its third team to the No. 47 Toyota of [[JTG Daugherty Racing]], driven by [[Marcos Ambrose]], and discontinued the No. 00 team for the balance of the season.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20220401041640/http://fanzonesports.net/nascar/2008/10/ambrose-to-drive-the-47-toyota-for-mwr-at-atlanta/ "Ambrose to drive the 47 Toyota for MWR at Atlanta"], FanZone/NASCAR, October 17, 2008.</ref>

;David Reutimann (2009-2011)
[[File:David Reutimann Pocono 2011.jpg|thumb|[[David Reutimann]] in the No. 00 car at [[Pocono Raceway]] in 2011]]
In 2009, the No. 00 was once again driven by Reutimann with an [[Aaron Rents|Aaron's]] sponsorship for the entire 2009 season. This became Reutimann and MWR's breakthrough season, as Reutimann won a rain-shortened [[Coca-Cola 600]] on May 25, 2009, giving Michael Waltrip Racing its first victory in a Sprint Cup race, which was considered vindication for a team that had struggled for years.<ref name="David Caraviello">{{cite web|url=http://www.nascar.com/2009/news/headlines/cup/05/28/mwaltrip.finding.success.owner/index.html |title=Waltrip team evolves from laughingstock to winner|first=David|last=Caraviello|publisher=NASCAR.com|date=May 28, 2009|access-date=2009-05-30}}</ref>  After a strong start to the season, Reutimann ranked among the Top 12 drivers (who qualify for the [[Chase for the Sprint Cup]]) after finishing third at the [[2009 Pocono 500|Pocono 500]] in race No. 14. He was caught by an early wreck at Daytona in race No. 18 that dropped him to 14th, however, and he narrowly finished outside the Chase. He also won his second pole at [[Texas Motor Speedway]] in April and his third at [[Dover International Speedway|Dover]] in the race after his first victory.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nascar.com/2009/news/headlines/cup/05/29/preview.cup.dreutimann.dover.pole/index.html |title=Reutimann on a roll, earns pole for Dover Cup race|publisher=NASCAR.com|date=May 29, 2009|access-date=2009-05-29}}</ref>

For 2010, Reutimann and the No. 00 team returned with minimal changes. On July 10, they won the [[LifeLock.com 400]] at [[Chicagoland Speedway]], for MWR's 2nd Sprint Cup win. On November 4, 2011, MWR announced that Reutimann would not return as driver of the No. 00 for 2012.

For 2012, the No. 00 was renumbered to 55 in honor of Aaron's founding in 1955.

===Car No. 15 history===
[[File:Clint Bowyer Las Vegas 2012.jpg|thumb|right|[[Clint Bowyer]]'s No. 15 during the [[2012 Kobalt Tools 400]].]]
;Part Time (2010-2011)
The 15 began as the No. 51 because Michael Waltrip's move away from full-time driving, the team began fielding a fourth car for him in selected races in 2010.  Instead of continuing to use the No. 55, Waltrip decided to go with the No. 51, which is the inverse of the No. 15, which is the car that Waltrip drove for [[Dale Earnhardt Inc.|DEI]] to four victories at Daytona and Talladega in the early 2000s.  Waltrip first drove the No. 51 for the 2010 Daytona [[Speedweeks]], and he became the final qualifier in the [[2010 Daytona 500]] despite wrecking in the qualifying race.<ref name="qualify">{{cite news|url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/motor/nascar/2010-02-11-daytona-qualifiers_N.htm |title=Johnson, Kahne divide wins in Daytona qualifiers; Waltrip in |agency=Associated Press |publisher=[[USA Today]] |date=February 11, 2010}}</ref>

In 2011, the car was renumbered as the No. 15, with Waltrip driving the car at Daytona and Talladega. Waltrip also attempted to qualify for the first ever Cup race at Kentucky (Waltrip's home track), but qualifying was rained out and the No. 15 was too low in points to make the field.

;Clint Bowyer (2012-2015)
The No. 15 ran full-time in the Sprint Cup in 2012 as [[Clint Bowyer]] joined the team from [[Richard Childress Racing]]. Bowyer ran with [[5-Hour Energy]] as his sponsor. In June 2012, Bowyer won at Sonoma. He won again at Richmond International Raceway in September 2012 for MWR's fourth win, also becoming the first MWR driver to qualify for the [[Chase for the Sprint Cup]].  Bowyer would win for the third time in 2012 at Charlotte in October, and ended up finishing second in the points standings after a mechanical failure on [[Jimmie Johnson]]'s car in the final race.

Bowyer and MWR struggled more to find speed in both 2014 and 2015, failing to win any races nor contend for a championship. Bowyer and MWR  parted ways after the season ended with MWR not fielding full-time teams in 2016.

===Car No. 44 history===
;Dale Jarrett (2007-2008)
[[Image:DaleJarrettsLastRideSalute.jpg|thumb|right|[[Dale Jarrett]] on a parade lap before his final points race as fans and crew applaud him]]
[[File:DaleJarrett2007Texas.jpg|thumb|left|[[Dale Jarrett]] at Texas in 2007.]]
[[File:Dale Jarrett 2008 UPS Toyota Camry.jpg|thumb|right|[[Dale Jarrett]] in his final season in 2008.]]
1999 series champion [[Dale Jarrett]] and his sponsor [[United Parcel Service|UPS]] moved over from [[Robert Yates Racing]]'s No. 88 car to MWR's No. 44 car for the full season.
Jarrett started the [[2007 NASCAR Nextel Cup season]] on a high note as he drew pole position for the annual exhibition race, the Budweiser Shootout, at the Daytona International Speedway. He finished 18th out of 21 cars. Since Jarrett's team was a brand new team and had no owner points, and due to a rule change, he was eligible to use the Past Champion's Provisional five times as his 1999 championship was the most recent among past champions who were driving for teams not in the top 35 in owner points; prior to the rule change the use of a Past Champion's Provisional was not limited.
 
Jarrett was forced to use all five of his provisionals at the start of the season, starting at Daytona mainly because Michael Waltrip Racing was penalized by [[NASCAR]] for an illegal fuel additive during Speedweeks and the penalties knocked Jarrett, [[Michael Waltrip]] and [[David Reutimann]] out of the top 35 in owner points-the safety net for qualifying regardless of rain and cancellations of qualifying.
 
Jarrett started 43rd in the Daytona 500 and finished 22nd. Jarrett used his last champion's provisional at the Spring Talladega race, Aaron's 499. For the rest of 2007, Jarrett had to get into that weekend's race on time. Like the other two teams, Jarrett struggled, failing to qualify for twelve races and not scoring a single pole or top 10 finish, leading to a dismal 41st-place points finish.
 
During an interview on [[Speed (TV channel)|Speed]], Jarrett said after his contract is up with MWR (which was expected to be in the 2009 season), he would retire, but the timetable was pushed up in October 2007 prior to the [[2007 Bank of America 500]]. Jarrett retired from points racing after the [[2008 Food City 500]], turning the No. 44 Toyota ride to [[David Reutimann]]. His final race was the All-Star race in May 2008.

In 2008, Jarrett planned to run the first five races and the All Star Race before retiring from [[Sprint Cup Series]] competition. 
However, Jarrett was not guaranteed to start the first five races using the champion's provisional as he had the year before as [[Kurt Busch]], the 2004 champion, had his team's owner points transferred to his teammate [[Sam Hornish Jr.]] and would be first to receive it.
In his abbreviated final season, Jarrett had a best finish of 16th in the [[Daytona 500]] but no finish higher than 26th otherwise.

;David Reutimann (2008)
For the rest of the 2008 season, [[David Reutimann]] moved over from the 00 Aaron's Dream Machine to pilot the 44 car. David had four top 10s in his entire season, including a pole at the season finale [[2008 Ford 400|Ford 400]].

===Car No. 55 history===
[[Image:MarlinWaltrip2006.jpg|thumb|left|[[Michael Waltrip]] (No. 55) driving for [[Bill Davis Racing]] in 2006.]]
[[Image:MichaelWaltrip2006Car.jpg|thumb|right|Michael Waltrip No. 55 NAPA Dodge (right) in 2006]]
;Michael Waltrip (2006-2009)
Michael Waltrip formed an alliance with [[Bill Davis Racing]] in 2006 as Davis was going to switch to Toyota in 2007, which was the selected manufacturer for Waltrip's new team as well. This enabled Waltrip to have a car to drive as he built his team. NAPA Auto Parts, Waltrip's sponsor, followed him to his new team and Waltrip ran a [[Dodge Charger]] for 2006, although unbranded due to the team already [[Bill Davis Racing#Fallout with Dodge|burning bridges with DaimlerChrysler]]. The team bought points from [[Penske Racing]]'s No. 77 team, which shut down after it lost sponsorship. Since the listed owner of the No. 77 was [[Doug Bawel]], whose [[Jasper Motorsports]] team was absorbed by Penske a few years earlier, his name was registered as owner and the No. 55 ran under the Waltrip-Jasper Racing banner for 2006. The arrangement called for the points to be transferred to Waltrip's new ride at MWR for 2007, which they were; however, Waltrip failed to make the top-35 in points, which meant Waltrip would have to qualify on time in 2007.

[[Image:Michael Waltrip 2008 Napa Toyota Camry.jpg|thumb|right|[[Michael Waltrip]] started on the outside pole for the [[2008 Daytona 500|50th Daytona 500]].]]
Waltrip took his Bill Davis points to his own then-new Toyota Camry team for the 2007 season with sponsor [[NAPA Auto Parts]] in the [[2007 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series|Nextel Cup Series]]. It was a dismal first year for the No. 55 [[Toyota Camry]] in [[NASCAR]] top series competition, as Waltrip's team faced [[2007 NASCAR Gatorade Duel Scandal|stiff penalties]] for using illegal fuel additives during qualifying for the [[2007 Daytona 500|Daytona 500]]. The team rebounded to qualify 15th via the [[Gatorade Duels]], but finished 30th, leaving Daytona with negative driver and owner points (the team's finish in the Daytona 500 earned them 73 points, but the 100 point penalty they received from NASCAR left them last in the standings at −27 points). Waltrip proceeded to fail to qualify for 11 consecutive races before qualifying for his second race at [[Dover International Speedway]] on June 2. Making just his third start of the season at [[Michigan International Speedway]] on June 18, Waltrip posted the team's first top-10 finish and Toyota's third by finishing 10th and leading a lap. In order to take advantage of the champions provisional, [[Terry Labonte]] drove the No. 55 in 2007 at Infineon, Indianapolis, and Watkins Glen.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090526110507/http://www.gnextinc.com/nascar/drivers/news/michael_waltrip.html Terry Labonte to replace M. Waltrip in the No. 55 at road courses]</ref> Waltrip gave Toyota its second pole in Cup competition at [[2007 UAW-Ford 500|Talladega]] on October 7 and grabbed another top-10 finish at [[2007 Bank of America 500|Lowe's]] the following week, bringing his team barely inside the top 43 in points by the end of the season.

Waltrip continued to run the No. 55 during 2008 and 2009.  The car qualified in the Top 35 in owner points for 2008, and Waltrip recorded his best finish as a Sprint Cup owner with a second place in the [[2008 Lenox Industrial Tools 301]] in June.  In 2009, Waltrip started the season with a seventh-place finish in the [[2009 Daytona 500]].  However, because Waltrip consistently qualified and finished behind both his teammate Reutimann and MWR satellite driver Marcos Ambrose during the first half of 2009, he began to discuss retirement as a driver, stating that, as his team's owner, he would make himself retire as a driver if he was no longer competitive.<ref name="David Caraviello"/>

;Prism Motorsports (2010)
In 2010, [[Prism Motorsports]], a mostly start and park team in a technical alliance with MWR, ran a second car full-time, numbered No. 55. For [[Talladega Superspeedway|Talladega]], [[Bristol Motor Speedway|Bristol]], [[Michigan International Speedway|Michigan]] and [[Infineon Raceway|Sonoma]], Waltrip drove the No. 55 as part of Prism (Waltrip started and parked at Bristol and would have at Michigan had he qualified).<ref name="prism">{{cite news|url=https://sports.yahoo.com/nascar/news;_ylt=AiC7LKQut_xulL0oGdqWGbjov7YF?slug=ap-nascar-waltrip-talladega&prov=ap&type=lgns |title=Michael Waltrip to enter Talladega race |agency=Associated Press |date=2010-03-12 |publisher=[[Yahoo!]] |access-date=2010-03-12}}</ref>

;Mark Martin and Brian Vickers (2012-2013)
The No. 55 returned in 2012 with [[Aaron's, Inc.|Aaron's]] moving from the No. 00 car and [[Mark Martin]] hired to drive 24 races in the car for the next two seasons. Michael Waltrip drove the car in the [[Budweiser Shootout]] and also drove in the [[Aaron's 499]], [[Coke Zero 400]], [[Quaker State 400 (Kentucky)|Quaker State 400]], and [[Good Sam Club 500]]. Former [[Red Bull Racing Team]] driver [[Brian Vickers]] was hired to drive at both races at Bristol, Martinsville, New Hampshire, and the two road courses.

In 2013, the No. 55 was again split. This time Waltrip would race 3 times under the No. 55 team, Martin would race 24 more times, and Vickers would race 9 times. In 2013, the No. 55 got its third NASCAR Sprint Cup victory at Loudon with Vickers driving. In the final laps, Vickers stole the lead from [[Tony Stewart]] and after a debris caution fought Stewart for the lead, ending with Stewart running out of gas in turn 3 just before the white flag; locking up the victory for Vickers. On August 13, it was announced that Vickers would run the No. 55 full-time in 2014 and 2015.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nascar.com/content/nascar/en_us/news-media/articles/2013/08/13/michael-waltrip-racing-brian-vickers-aarons-toyota-two-year-deal.html|title=Vickers lands full two-year deal in Waltrip's No. 55|work=[[NASCAR]]|date=2013-08-13|access-date=2013-08-13}}</ref>

In early August, [[Tony Stewart]] broke his leg in a sprint car accident. It was determined that he would miss the rest of the year. Martin was hired to replace Stewart for most of the rest of the season except Talladega. Michael Waltrip Racing ultimately agreed to release Martin from the rest of his deal and give the No. 55 over to Vickers early (except for Talladega, where Waltrip was going to drive the car). However, blood clots discovered in Vickers' leg after the Charlotte race ended his season, necessitating the team to hire [[Elliott Sadler]] to drive the car for the remaining four races of the year.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://msn.foxsports.com/nascar/story/michael-waltrip-racing-considering-elliott-sadler-to-fill-in-for-brian-vickers-101613|title=Sadler set to sub for Vickers|last=Spencer|first=Lee|date=October 17, 2013|work=Fox Sports|access-date=2013-10-17}}</ref>
[[File:Brian Vickers, 2013 STP Gas Booster 500.JPG|thumb|right|[[Brian Vickers]] at Martinsville in 2013.]]
;Brian Vickers (2014-2015)

Vickers returned from his medical issues in 2014, but missed the Chase in only his second full season since 2009.

Vickers missed the first two races of the 2015 season after off-season surgery to repair a patch placed over a hole in his heart. Vickers Team owner and race driver [[Michael Waltrip]]  raced the Daytona 500, while [[Brett Moffitt]] raced the No. 55 for the [[Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500]]. Vickers returned for two races before he was sidelined again just before Fontana. Moffitt was named the interim driver and later declared his candidacy for Rookie of the Year.

;David Ragan (2015)
On April 24, it was announced that [[David Ragan]] would take over the No. 55 beginning at Kansas.<ref>[http://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nascar-auto-racing/thatsracin/article19388469.html Driver David Ragan set to join Michael Waltrip Racing next month]</ref> Ragan had several strong runs in the 55, with potential top 10 finishes at Sonoma, Bristol, Daytona, Pocono, Watkins Glen, Martinsville, and Charlotte, but fell victim to bad racing luck, with crashes or mechanical failures in many events. He was ultimately released and left for [[BK Racing]] when MWR closed its doors.

===Car No. 56 history===
;Martin Truex Jr. (2010-2013)
[[File:2011 Martin Truex, Jr. accident at Martinsville Speedway.jpg|thumb|left|Truex's car following an accident at [[Martinsville Speedway|Martinsville]]]]
[[File:Martin Truex Jr MWR Toyota Texas April 2013.jpg|thumb|right|Truex's 2013 No. 56 Sprint Cup car at [[Texas Motor Speedway]]]]
In 2010, [[Martin Truex Jr.]] replaced Waltrip as the driver for this team, renumbered as No. 56. The No. 56 team used the No. 55's owner's points for 2010. Truex would join Bowyer in qualifying for the Chase for the Sprint Cup in 2012. On June 23, 2013, Truex won the [[2013 Toyota/Save Mart 350|Toyota Save/Mart 350]] at Sonoma by 8 seconds over [[Jeff Gordon]], his 2nd career victory (breaking a 218-race winless streak as a driver stretching back to [[2007 Autism Speaks 400|June 3rd, 2007]]), and the 7th as well as final victory for MWR in the Series. Truex also had initially joined Bowyer again in the 2013 Chase, but controversy arose in the [[2013 Federated Auto Parts 400|final race]] before the Chase at Richmond, in which MWR was found to have deliberately manipulated the end of the race in order to allow Truex to hold off [[Ryan Newman (racing driver)|Ryan Newman]] for a Chase spot (see above).  On September 9, NASCAR ejected Truex from the Chase and placed Newman in.<ref name="Penalties" /> On September 19, NAPA announced that it will no longer sponsor the No. 56.<ref>{{cite web|last=Fryer|first=Jenna|url=https://sports.yahoo.com/news/napa-leaving-waltrip-richmond-scandal-140926375--nascar.html|title=Napa dropping Waltrip after Richmond scandal|publisher=[[Yahoo! Sports]]|date=2013-09-19|access-date=2013-09-19}}</ref> On October 14, it was announced that due to the lack of sponsorship or a driver, the car's points would be moved to a new [[research and development]] team starting in 2014, later named [[Identity Ventures Racing]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/2013/10/14/michael-waltrip-racing-two-teams-2014-richmond-chase.html|title=MWR RESTRUCTURES TO TWO FULL-TIME TEAMS IN 2014|work=[[NASCAR]]|date=2013-10-14|access-date=2013-10-14}}</ref> It was also announced three days later that Truex was picked up by [[Furniture Row Racing]] to takeover the No. 78 from the departing [[Kurt Busch]].

===Car No. 66 history===
In 2009, MWR fielded a car for [[Dave Blaney]] and [[Phil Parsons Racing|Prism Motorsports]] at the Coca-Cola 600. The car was sponsored by [[Aaron's, Inc.|Aaron's]] and used Prism's No. 66.

In 2014, with no driver or sponsor lined up, the points from the former No. 56 car was transferred to [[Identity Ventures Racing]], owned by Nat Hardwick and Jay Robinson, and the number was changed to 66. The car was fielded out of the MWR shop for select races for [[Michael Waltrip]], [[Jeff Burton]], and [[Brett Moffitt]],<ref name=FOX-MWR-3Cars>{{cite web|last1=Spencer|first1=Lee|title=MWR to field three Cup cars in 2014|url=http://www.foxsports.com/nascar/story/michael-waltrip-racing-to-field-three-sprint-cup-cars-in-2014-111013|website=[[Fox Sports]]|publisher=[[Fox Sports]]|access-date=October 8, 2014|location=[[Avondale, Arizona]]|date=June 6, 2014}}</ref><ref name=NASCAR-JBurton-2014>{{cite web|last1=Caraviello|first1=David|title=JEFF BURTON BOUND FOR NBC BROADCAST BOOTH|url=http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/2013/12/03/jeff-burton-to-join-nbc-broadcast-team-2015.html|website=[[NASCAR|NASCAR.com]]|publisher=[[NASCAR]]|access-date=October 8, 2014|location=[[Las Vegas]]|date=December 3, 2013}}</ref><ref name=MWR-2014-Sponsor>{{cite web|title=MWR Announces 2014 Sponsor Lineup|url=http://www.michaelwaltrip.com/news?n_id=103|website=MichaelWaltrip.com|publisher=Michael Waltrip Racing|access-date=October 8, 2014|location=[[Charlotte, North Carolina]]|date=January 30, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141017093900/http://www.michaelwaltrip.com/news?n_id=103|archive-date=October 17, 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name=Motorsport-MWaltrip-500>{{cite web|author1=Michael Waltrip Racing|title=Michael Waltrip begins his quest for a third Daytona 500 victory|url=http://www.motorsport.com/nascar-cup/news/michael-waltrip-begins-his-quest-for-a-third-daytona-500-victory/?v=2&s=1&q=Jay+Robinson|website=motorsport.com|publisher=motorsport.com|access-date=October 8, 2014|location=[[Cornelius, North Carolina]]|date=February 14, 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141020090350/http://www.motorsport.com/nascar-cup/news/michael-waltrip-begins-his-quest-for-a-third-daytona-500-victory/?v=2&s=1&q=Jay+Robinson|archive-date=October 20, 2014|df=mdy-all}}</ref> with Waltrip and Moffitt running select races with MWR support out of Robinson's shop.

===Car No. 98 history===
Michael Waltrip Racing began racing in the Winston Cup Series in 2002, making its debut at the 2002 Aaron's 499. The car was the No. 98 Aaron's Chevrolet Monte Carlo driven by Kenny Wallace. Wallace qualified 27th and finished 21st. Following that first race, Waltrip sold the No. 98 and its owner points to [[Innovative Motorsports]].

In October 2015, MWR leased the owner points from the No. 98 of [[Premium Motorsports]] to field a car for Waltrip himself at the fall Talladega race. Premium is owned by  [[Jay Robinson (auto racing)|Jay Robinson]], who was a partner in MWR's research and development team the previous season.

==Nationwide Series==

===Car No. 99 history===
;Michael Waltrip (1996-2006)
[[Image:DavidReutimann2007AaronsDreamMachineBuschSeriesRacecar.jpg|thumb|[[David Reutimann]] drove the No. 99 [[Aaron's, Inc.|Aaron's]] [[Toyota Camry]] in the [[Nationwide Series]] in 2007.]]
Waltrip made his debut as a car owner in [[1996 in NASCAR Busch Series|1996]] driving the No. 12 [[MW Windows]] [[Ford Thunderbird]]. He ran thirteen races that season, winning the pole at [[Richmond International Raceway]] and posting three top-five finishes. The next season, MWR switched to the No. 21 with sponsorship from [[Band-Aid]] and had three fourth-place finishes, and had six top-ten finishes the following season. In [[1998 in NASCAR Busch Series|1998]], Waltrip fielded a second car, the No. 14 [[Rhodes Furniture]] Ford for [[Patty Moise]] full-time. Moise made 19 starts and a best finish of tenth at [[Bristol Motor Speedway]], finishing 37th in points.

In [[1999 NASCAR Busch Series|1999]], Waltrip got his first career win as an owner/driver at the [[All Pro Bumper to Bumper 300]]. The next year, he switched to the No. 7 as well as driving the No. 99 car with Aarons sponsorship for three races, his best finish coming at [[Michigan International Speedway]], where he placed second. [[Ted Christopher]] drove the No. 99 at [[Memphis Motorsports Park]] with sponsorship from [[LesCare Kitchens]], qualifying 29th and finishing 28th. MWR switched to the No. 99 full-time in [[2001 in NASCAR Busch Series|2001]], as Waltrip drove twelve races, his best finish third at the [[Aaron's 312 (Atlanta)|Aaron's 312]]. Waltrip also fielded the 99 for three races for [[Shawna Robinson]], who had a 19th at [[Talladega Superspeedway]], and [[Kerry Earnhardt]], whose best finish was a 20th at [[Kentucky Speedway]].

Waltrip had sole driving duties in [[2002 NASCAR Busch Series|2002]], running nineteen races and winning at [[Michigan International Speedway]]. The following season, he won at [[Bristol Motor Speedway]]. After making 31 starts in [[2004 NASCAR Busch Series|2004]] and winning at [[Nashville Superspeedway]], Waltrip had only four top-tens in [[2005 in NASCAR Busch Series|2005]]. In [[2006 NASCAR Busch Series|2006]], Waltrip partnered with [[FitzBradshaw Racing]] to pick up FitzBradshaw's No. 40 car's owner's points. He drove a majority of the races in 2006, with his brother [[Darrell Waltrip|Darrell]] and [[David Reutimann]] driving additional races using [[Evernham Motorsports|Evernham]] engines.

;David Reutimann (2006-2008)
David Reutimann drove the No. 99 Aaron's [[Toyota Camry]] for Waltrip in [[2007 NASCAR Busch Series|2007]]. He won his first career [[Nationwide Series]] race with the team at [[Memphis Motorsports Park]] in October, and finished second in points. In the latter part of 2007, MWR also fielded a second car with [[Michael McDowell (racing driver)|Michael McDowell]] to prepare him for a possible [[Sprint Cup Series|Sprint Cup]] career.

;Trevor Bayne (2009-2010)
[[File:TrevorBayneToyotaMilwaukeeMile2009.jpg|thumb|Trevor Bayne Milwaukee 2009]]
In 2009, the No. 99 Toyota carried split by Michael Waltrip with sponsorship from Aaron's and [[Best Western]], [[Trevor Bayne]], and [[Scott Speed]] with sponsorship from [[Red Bull|Red Bull Energy Drink]]. For 2010 the team was co-purchased by former [[Diamond Ridge Motorsports]] owner [[Gary Betchel]] to form '''Diamond-Waltrip Racing''' to field development driver [[Trevor Bayne]] in the No. 99 full-time for 2010, though they had limited sponsorship. [[Trevor Bayne]] left the team before the [[Kansas Speedway]] race in September. [[Martin Truex Jr.]] is the replacement driver for the rest of the [[2010 NASCAR Nationwide Series]]. Also, the team fielded the No. 00 [[NAPA Auto Parts]]/OUT! Pet Care Toyota for [[Ryan Truex]] and Truex Jr. on a limited basis in 2010.

;Shut Down (2011)
[[Travis Pastrana]] announced his intent to drive 7 races in 2011 with [[Boost Mobile]], with [[Ryan Truex]] intending to run the remaining schedule minus the superspeedways. However, Pastrana was injured at [[X Games XVII]] and sat out the rest of 2011, stating that he would run the Nationwide Series in 2012. Truex's bid for Rookie of the Year was cut short when a lack of sponsorship forced the team to shut down briefly. The No. 99 team returned for some races in 2011, with [[Cole Whitt]] driving at Charlotte and [[Patrick Carpentier]] driving his final race at Montreal. In 2012, MWR allied itself with Nationwide Series team [[RAB Racing]] to field Pastrana for 7 races. He would later join [[Roush Fenway Racing]] for 2013.

==Craftsman Truck Series==

===Truck No. 1 history===
In 1996, Michael Waltrip drove the No. 1 truck with sponsorship [[MW Windows]] at Las Vegas where he started 27th and finished 4th.

In 1997, Michael drove three races this season starting at Daytona, Martinsville and Fontana. The No. 1 truck has new sponsorship [[Citgo]], and [[Band-Aid]].

MWR provided Prism with cars, engines and technical support.  Prism became notorious as a [[start and park]] operation, only running a full race when the team had full sponsorship for the race, but the team has qualified for almost every race of the 2009 Sprint Cup season using the MWR equipment, sometimes beating out fully sponsored teams.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vindy.com/news/2009/may/11/blaney-blessed-at-squeezing-a-buck/ |title=Blaney blessed at squeezing a buck |date=2009-05-11|first=John|last=Bassetti|publisher=[[Youngstown Vindicator]]|access-date=2009-05-29}}</ref>

In 2009, Germain Racing attempted to run a limited schedule in the Sprint Cup Series with Papis and sponsor [[GEICO]]. The team qualified for 15 races in 21 attempts.  Germain planned to run full-time in 2010, but it might be required to [[start and park]] some unscheduled events due to its limited sponsorship from GEICO and lack of additional sponsorship.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.scenedaily.com/news/articles/nationwideseries/Germain_Racing_plans_to_keep_Nationwide_Truck_teams_as_it_begins_Cup_effort.html |title=Germain Racing plans to keep Nationwide Truck teams as it begins Cup effort |access-date=February 12, 2010 |archive-date=February 27, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090227170348/http://www.scenedaily.com/news/articles/nationwideseries/Germain_Racing_plans_to_keep_Nationwide_Truck_teams_as_it_begins_Cup_effort.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>  In the first event of the 2010 season, Papis qualified for the [[2010 Daytona 500|Daytona 500]],<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.scenedaily.com/news/articles/sprintcupseries/Max_Papis_Michael_McDowell_race_their_way_into_Daytona_500.html |title=Max Papis, Michael McDowell race their way into Daytona 500 |access-date=February 12, 2010 |archive-date=February 13, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100213091540/http://www.scenedaily.com/news/articles/sprintcupseries/Max_Papis_Michael_McDowell_race_their_way_into_Daytona_500.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>  and since then, the No. 13 Toyota Camry has qualified for four of the first five races.

===MWR-Identity Ventures Racing===
In 2014, a MWR satellite team, [[Identity Ventures Racing]], was formed, fielding the No. 66 Toyota Camry.  MWR provided tires and technical assistance, with some races receiving more support than others (depending on sponsorship). Races with more sponsorship received more support for MWR.  [[Michael Waltrip]], [[Joe Nemechek]], [[Jeff Burton]] and [[Brett Moffitt]] were the primary drivers in 2014. As the season continued, Nemechek and Burton's races began getting handed to younger drivers. Moffitt began to take Burton and Nemechek's races, with neither veteran finishing the season in the No. 66. IVR shut down after just one season when team co-owner Nat Hardwick was involved in an embezzlement scandal involving his companies Landcastle Title and Morris-Hardwick-Schneider (which were the team's primary sponsors).

==Raceworld USA==
'''Raceworld USA''', located in [[Cornelius, North Carolina]], was the race shop and center of operations for Michael Waltrip Racing.  The main shop facility consisted of {{convert|107000|sqft|m2}} while the fabrication shop consisted of the remaining {{convert|35000|sqft|m2}}.<ref>[http://www.nascar.com/2007/news/headlines/cup/02/08/mwaltrip.family.raceworld/index.html NASCAR.COM – Waltrip Raceworld: Whistle as they work – Feb 8, 2007<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

== Controversy ==
In 2010, Michael Waltrip Racing filed a lawsuit against the [[Williams F1]] team, for reportedly stealing one of their employees while he was under contract with MWR. The employee in question was [[Mike Coughlan]], who was an F1 engineer involved in a cheating scandal in 2007. While he was suspended from F1, Coughlan worked as an engineer for the team. When his suspension from F1 was over, he allegedly went back to the Williams team while still under contract with MWR, which MWR alleged caused the team to suffer financially. The lawsuit was [[Settlement (litigation)|settled]] out of court in October 2011; the settlement was very amicable, as Waltrip later invited Coughlan to a future race as a guest of the team.<ref>[https://www.autoblog.com/2011/10/24/waltrip-williams-racing-teams-settle-lawsuit-out-of-court/ Waltrip, Williams racing teams settle lawsuit out of court]</ref>

Just before its shutdown at the end of 2015, MWR was sued by former tire carrier Brandon Hopkins. Hopkins was injured in a pit road accident that required surgery while servicing [[Clint Bowyer]]'s No. 15 car. Hopkins accused MWR of blacklisting him, wrongfully terminating his contract with the team, [[libel]], and intentional interference with his efforts to find work at another team. Michael Waltrip Racing [[counter-sued]] Hopkins, saying that he stole pit guns from the team which was the cause of his firing. In their countersuit against Hopkins, MWR asked to be reimbursed for the pit guns and for any claims by Hopkins to be dismissed. After years of back-and-forth between Hopkins and the defunct team, it was announced in November 2017 that "both parties are pleased to announce that they have [[Settlement (litigation)|amicably resolved their disputes in their entirety]] and wish each other well in the future."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://autoracingdaily.com/nascar-cup-michael-waltrip-racing-settles-lawsuit/|title=NASCAR Cup: Michael Waltrip Racing settles lawsuit}}</ref>
