Billy Ballew Motorsports is a team that competes in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. They were formed in 1996 by Georgia businessman Billy Ballew, and have become notable for the fact they rarely field a team for the same driver for more than one season, as was the case in 2005, when eight different drivers drove for the team. Amazingly, the team finished fourth in owner's points, thanks in part to Kyle Busch's three victories. The team also fielded the truck that Geoffrey Bodine crashed in 2000 at Daytona International Speedway and suffered near-fatal injuries.

Krisiloff's 2006 truck qualifying at Texas

For 2006, they fielded a truck for rookie Kyle Krisiloff with sponsorship from ditech.com, Nat'l Land Liquidators, and Krud Kutters. Kyle Busch returned to the team in 2006, driving a handful of events in a #51 Chevrolet, winning at Lowe's Motor Speedway. After Krisiloff was released, and Busch filled out most of the season for the team. In 2007, Bill Lester will drive for the team, with Busch, Steve Wallace, and J.R. Norris possibly driving the #51.
