Norm Benning Racing is an American professional team that currently competes in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. The team is owned by Norm Benning who drives for his team. The team currently fields the No. 6 Chevrolet Silverado for team owner Norm Benning.
Norm Benning Racing opened in 1994, DNQ'ing all attempts by team owner Norm Benning in Cup competition. Benning began fielding the No. 8 and 84 car in the ARCA Racing Series in 1995 for himself and other drivers. Benning ran the team in four Nationwide races from 2003–2004. The team's most successful series has been the Truck Series, after successfully making 7 of the 8 races they attempted in 2008. The team ran the full Truck season making 24 of the 25 races and finishing 21st in points. Benning once again attempted the Daytona 500 in 2010 but failed to qualify. The team attempted to race the 2010 Truck season full-time in the No. 57 and had a good degree of success, gaining locked-in for a few races in owner points. For 2011 the team struggled to make some races early in the year. Later on the team began fielding a second truck, the No. 75 starting at Iowa. In 2012, the team again had problems with qualifying for some events, but finished 21st in points. In 2013, Benning made all but one race, and gained nattonal notoriety after his battle during the Last Chance Qualifier for the inaugural Mudsummer Classic at Eldora Speedway, barely finishing in the final transfer position over Clay Greenfield. Benning finished 20th in points. 2014 saw the team make all 22 races. Midway through the season, Benning changed the number of his primary truck from 57 to 6, a number he used earlier in his career. The teams second truck, the 75, became the 57. 2015 started off on a good note as Benning finished 14th in the season opener at Daytona. Sponsorship problems plagued the team and they were forced to start and park several events. Towards the end of the season, the effects of starting and parking, plus the reduced number of trucks allowed to make a truck field, saw Benning and team miss 4 of the final 5 races. 2016 was a dismal year for the team, as Benning missed 7 races in the No. 6. Midway through the season, Benning began leasing the points from the No. 63 MB Motorsports team so he could run certain events. 2016 concluded with Benning missing 8 races, making 8 races, and withdrawing from 5. Benning plans to show up for the season opening event at Daytona with the No. 6.
