The Motorsports Group is planning on entering the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in 2015, starting with the Daytona 500.
The team has not yet announced a driver but will use Chevrolet as its manufacturer. The organization has no prior history in the sport's premier series.
TMG has fielded NASCAR Nationwide Series cars for the past seven seasons, including two this season: The No. 40 and the No. 46 Chevrolets. The organization also ran a limited schedule in the series from 1993 to 1998. The team also had involvement in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series from 2004 to 2009.
With 521 national series starts, TMG has one top-five finish and 12 top-10 finishes. The top-five finish came in the organization's first season with Tommy Ellis at Hickory Motor Speedway in the NASCAR Busch Grand National Series (now the Nationwide Series).
Curtis Key is the owner of the team.
