Beaver Motorsports (formerly MAKE Motorsports) is an American professional team that currently competes in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. The team is owned by Mark Beaver. The team currently fields the No. 50 Chevrolet Silverado full-time for part-time drivers: Travis Kvapil, Akinori Ogata, Spencer Boyd and Cody Ware. One of the most unfunded teams in the Truck Series, the team continues to compete full-time, recording a best finish of 5th at Daytona in 2016 with Kvapil driving. For 2017 season, Beaver and former co-owner Tracy Lowe parted ways. Beaver retained control of the No. 50 entry while Lowe took the assets of the former No. 1 team to create TJL Motorsports.
The team started off in the Nationwide Series with T. J. Bell, who had run races for the team in the Camping World Truck Series. He ran six races in the team's first season in Xfinity, 2011, start and parking for four of them, and failing to qualify for three others. He recorded a best finish of 23rd at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
In 2012, the team went the distance in races during the first part of the season, but with three wrecks and two mechanical problems in the first nine races of the season, the team resorted to start and parking after the Kentucky Speedway race. After the race at Iowa Speedway, Bell left the team and was replaced by David Starr, who did not finish a race in his three races for the team and failed to qualify for another. After running the Dover International Speedway race with The Motorsports Group, Bell returned to the team, failing to qualify for the Charlotte race and completing only one lap at Texas Motor Speedway before retiring in last place with engine problems. He recorded a best finish of 24th, which occurred in the season-opening DRIVE4COPD 300 at Daytona International Speedway and the 5-Hour Energy 200 at Dover in spring.
