History
Before the 2014 Drive to Stop Diabetes 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway, Derek White and Carl Long created Motorsports Business Management. In 2016, White was arrested on tobacco smuggling charges, leading to his indefinite suspension by NASCAR. Ownership of the team was transferred to the Long family; officially, the team owner is listed as Long's father, Horace.
Until the end of the 2018 season, MBM Motorsports ran Dodge cars on a limited basis in addition to the other manufacturers, using engines leased from Team Penske from when Penske ran Dodges. The team switched to Toyotas starting in 2019, and team owner Carl Long appealed to the manufacturer for support.
In November 2021, Long and eight members of his team, including driver David Starr, tested positive for COVID-19 following the 2021 season finale at Phoenix Raceway. That led to Starr reuniting with his former Truck Series team SS-Green Light Racing in the Xfinity Series.
