Team Xtreme Racing (formerly Xxxtreme Motorsport) was an American professional team that last competed in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, and the Nationwide Series. The team last fielded the No. 44 Chevrolet SS part-time for Reed Sorenson, and Travis Kvapil. The team was owned by John Cohen. Cohen is one of the few African-Americans to have owned a NASCAR team in a major touring series.
The team returned from hiatus and began running the Cup Series in November 2012. A car numbered 44 for David Reutimann was fielded at the 2012 AdvoCare 500 at Phoenix International Raceway with sponsorship from No Label Watches. Reutimann finished 40th, pulling out of the race early due to a vibration.
For 2013, Scott Riggs was hired as the team's full-time driver. The team attempted most races in the first half of the season, but following numerous instances of having to start and park, coupled with poor sponsorship, the team shut down for the year midseason, and Riggs moved to Ricky Benton Racing in the Camping World Truck Series.
In 2014, J. J. Yeley moved to the team following his departure from Tommy Baldwin Racing. The team struggled for speed early in the season, failing to qualify for two races and withdrawing from two others. Before the Richmond spring race, the team purchased the owner points and assets of the recently defunct No. 30 from Swan Racing, including their race shop in Statesville, NC hoping to end their recent struggles in qualifying by having a solid points base. The team used No. 30 for Richmond due to NASCAR rules regarding ownership transfers, but switched back to the No. 44 thereafter.
