Bobby Gerhart Racing


Bobby Gerhart Racing is an American professional team that currently competes in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, the Camping World Truck Series, and the ARCA Racing Series. The team is owned by Bobby Gerhart, but in the past has been owned by Billy Gerhart.

After starting his Winston Cup career with Gray Racing, Gerhart brought his own cars to Cup events starting in 1984. Qualifying for 22 races, the team used Nos. 71 and 59 in 1984, No. 25 in 1985, and No. 85 from 1986 and on. The team had a best finish of 19th at North Wilkesboro Speedway, but ran most of its races at Pocono Raceway, near the team's shop. The team also failed to qualify for 22 races, five of them Daytona 500's. The team has not entered a Cup race since 2002.

After several years of driving for Bob Schacht in the Xfinity series, Gerhart moved his ARCA team to NASCAR's second series in 2013, attempting just three races: the two races at Daytona International Speedway and the race at Talladega Superspeedway. With Gerhart driving, the team qualified for the talladega and the later Daytona race with funding from Lucas Oil. 2014 brought a similar mantra for the team: attempt the three restrictor plate races. Gerhart made two of them, the spring Daytona and Talladega, while failing to qualify for the summer Daytona race.In 2015, Gerhart made one of the three races he attempted with the team, the Subway Firecracker 250. He failed to qualify for the PowerShares QQQ 300 and the Winn-Dixie 300.Known for running well at restrictor plate tracks, Gerhart attempted and made the first two plate races of the 2016 season, crashing at Daytona and turning in a 33rd place finish at Talladega.
