Martins Motorsports is an American stock car racing team that currently competes in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and Camping World Truck Series. The team is owned by Craig Martins. It currently fields the No. 45 Chevrolet Camaro part-time in the Xfinity Series for Craig's son Tommy Joe Martins, and the No. 44 truck part-time for Tommy Joe Martins, Brandon Brown, and J. R. Heffner.
On April 14, 2017, the team announced a nine-race Xfinity slate for 2017 with Tommy Joe Martins, car number 45 and sponsor Diamond Gusset Jean Co., starting with the spring race at Richmond and focusing primarily on short to intermediate tracks with the exception of the Indianapolis race.
This car was the team's secondary focus in their 2014 Nationwide Series (now Xfinity) foray, with Clay Greenfield behind the wheel at Daytona. However, he along with Willie Allen failed to qualify, making Martins Motorsports 0 for 2 in that race. The car withdrew the next week after no driver was found to drive it. The team then took time off to prepare for the spring Bristol race, where Tommy Joe Martins crashed in qualifying and withdrew. To recoup from that, the team did not return until Michigan, when Benny Gordon qualified the car but then switched to Martins when he failed to qualify the 76.
The primary focus in 2014, Nationwide veteran Willie Allen failed to qualify the 76 at Daytona and Bristol.Tommy Joe Martins then took over the reins of what was left as the team's only entry after the demise of the 67, making eight races in the 76 and failing to qualify for four, including its last three attempts. The team primarily start and parked, but ran full races at higher-paying events like at Talladega and Charlotte. The team's last attempt was at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
