Gaunt Brothers Racing is a Canadian professional team that currently competes in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. The team currently fields the No. 96 Toyota Camry part-time for D. J. Kennington. The team formerly competed in the Pinty's Series and the K&N Pro Series. The team is owned by Marty Gaunt, president of Triad Racing Technologies.
On January 18, 2017, Gaunt Brothers Racing declared their plans to attempt the 2017 Daytona 500 with Canadian driver D. J. Kennington behind the wheel of the No. 96 Toyota Camry. The team was fielded in a partnership with RAB Racing. They plan to attempt all four superspeedway events in 2017. Kennington made the 59th annual Daytona 500, by passing Elliott Sadler at Cam-Am Duel 2. The team failed to finish the race after being involved in a crash just past halfway.
The team announced its Canadian Tire Series involvement in May 2010, initially setting John Gaunt as driver of the No. 11 entry. Gaunt started seven of the twelve events in the series that year. In 2011, Jason Bowles joined the team for two races, winning the pole in one.
