The Motorsports Group, a current Nationwide Series team, announced plans on Wednesday to form a Sprint Cup Series team in 2015, and they could debut as early as the Daytona 500 in February. TMG will stick with Chevrolet as its manufacturer. They have not yet chosen a driver or number for their Cup car.
TMG previously operated in what was then the Busch Series as Key Motorsports from 1993 to 1998. They have also fielded trucks in the Craftsman/Camping World Truck Series. They returned to competition in NASCAR's number two series in 2008 under their current name. In recent years, TMG has been criticized for their frequent practice of start-and-parking, mainly with the #40 and #46 Chevrolets driven by various driver such as Josh Wise, Matt DiBenedetto and Chase Miller. For this reason, it is not uncommon to see TMG cars at the tail end of the running order in a race, and this is why fans do not see them as contenders. But TMG could be ready for a Cup operation despite this, although they would really have to prove themselves to fans.
