CJM Racing is a NASCAR Nextel Cup Series team driven by Brandon Whitt for the last two races of the seaon. It began in 2001 in the Craftsman Truck Series as #6 with Morgan Shepherd as the owner/driver and Red Line Oil sponsoring, running under the moniker Victory in Jesus Racing. It moved up to Nextel Cup the next year, changing its number from 6 to 89. It debuted at New Hampshire International Speedway and ran four more races that year, each ending in a DNF and Racing with Jesus taking over sponsorship. After 2002, the team ran a part time schedule for Shepherd. In 2006, two Christian businessmen, Brian and Tony Mullet, began investing in the team, which brought about a name change from Victory in Jesus Racing to Victory Motorsports. After not making the field for each of the early attempts, Shepherd sold the team to Bryan Mullet and Dutch Quality Stone and the team changed its name to CJM Racing. Kertus Davis and David Gilliland, as well as Brent Sherman, took over the newly-renumbered #72 car. Mike Skinner drove the car for 2 races of the season. Brandon Whitt will fill in for Skinner and attempt the last race of the season at Homestead-Miami Speedway. In 2007, Whitt will be attempting to compete in 15 races.
