Team AmeriVet Overview
Team AmeriVet is an American professional stock car racing organization that competes in the NASCAR Cup Series. The operation fields the No. 50 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 on a part-time basis and is based in Mooresville, North Carolina.
The team opened operations in 2022 and has run a selective national schedule since its debut. Ownership listed in public records includes William Auchmoody, Rebecca Auchmoody, and Casey Caudill following a rebrand and ownership update in 2024–2025.
Founding and Organizational Origins
The organization’s roots trace to plans announced publicly in late 2019 under the Money Team Racing name with ambitions to enter NASCAR competition. Early reports linked high-profile interests and investors to the project, and the team pursued partnerships and investor relationships over the following years.
After several seasons of planning and partnership discussions, the group formally opened competition in 2022 and established its base of operations in Mooresville, a long-standing hub of NASCAR team shops and supplier networks. The initial business objective centered on creating a small, flexible Cup Series program that could pursue select events while building infrastructure and sponsorship relationships.
Growth Into NASCAR Competition
Growth into NASCAR competition proceeded through incremental milestones: securing a manufacturer alignment with Chevrolet, assembling a race shop in Mooresville, and registering the No. 50 entry for Cup Series events. The program focused on recruiting experienced road and oval drivers for part-time runs to develop the car and crew under race conditions.
Early operational structure relied on a compact staff and outside vendors for specialized services. The team’s approach emphasized targeted race entries and sponsor-driven appearances while working to expand its technical and personnel base for longer-term participation.
Team AmeriVet Competitive Journey
Team AmeriVet’s competitive progression has taken the organization from rumored entries and partnership talks to on-track participation in marquee Cup Series events. The team has run Dozens of individual national races across the 2022–2025 span with a focus on the No. 50 program.
Early Seasons and Development (2019–2022)
Initial public discussion of the organization began in 2019 under the Money Team Racing identity, with plans floated to enter NASCAR events in late 2019 and to run full-time in 2020. Those early plans did not produce race entries in 2019 or 2020, and the outfit continued preparing behind the scenes while pursuing investor and technical relationships.
By late 2021 and early 2022 the team had coalesced into an active Cup Series entrant. The No. 50 car was prepared for a debut at the 2022 Daytona 500, and the program assembled drivers and primary partners to support its initial on-track campaign. The 2022 debut represented the first competitive milestone for the newly established operation.
Breakthrough in NASCAR Cup Series (2022–Present)
The team made its formal Cup Series debut at the 2022 Daytona 500, running the No. 50 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 with Kaz Grala as the driver. Grala qualified for the race via the Daytona duels and finished the event. During the 2022 season Grala recorded additional starts, including races at Circuit of the Americas and the Coca-Cola 600, where the team posted midpack results that helped establish a baseline for the program.
On-track activity continued in subsequent seasons with a rotating roster of drivers. Conor Daly made his Cup Series debut with the team at the Charlotte Roval, and Daly later qualified the No. 50 for the 2023 Daytona 500 through the qualifying duels. Daly completed the majority of the main event in 2023 and provided valuable event mileage for the crew and organization.
In 2024 the organization rebranded as Team AmeriVet and continued running the No. 50 on a part-time basis with entries that included Ty Dillon and Jeb Burton. The team announced further part-time driver entries for 2025, including Burt Myers for select events such as the exhibition Clash and the Martinsville spring race, reflecting a continued emphasis on selective national events and guest drivers.
Modern Program and Current Direction (2024–Present)
Since the rebrand in May 2024 the team has operated as a small Cup Series entrant focused on managing targeted appearances and growing its operational footprint. Manufacturer support is listed as Chevrolet and the program operates from Mooresville, North Carolina, leveraging local supplier relationships and the regional motorsports labor pool.
Ownership and leadership evolved during the rebrand and subsequent season entries, with public ownership listings that include William Auchmoody, Rebecca Auchmoody, and Casey Caudill. The team’s immediate goals emphasize running competitive, sponsor-supported starts in cup events while gradually expanding race operations and commercial partnerships.
Engineering Philosophy and Competitive Strengths
Team AmeriVet’s technical identity reflects a compact, event-focused approach. The organization concentrates resources on preparing a single No. 50 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 for scheduled entries, aiming to maximize reliability and race execution at high-profile events while developing its engineering and pit-crew capabilities incrementally.
Key Milestones and Major Moments
Key moments for the organization include the 2022 Daytona 500 debut, the team’s rebrand to Team AmeriVet in 2024, and the accumulation of part-time starts through 2025. On-track incidents and personnel actions tied to early races also shaped the program’s learning curve and operational adjustments.
