Red Horse Racing is a team in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. They field the #11 Toyota Tundra driven by David Starr. The team's debut was in a Ford F-150 in 2004, during Brandon Whitt's rookie season, and was owned by his father. The team was known as Clean Line Motorsports, but was purchased by Thomas DeLoach, retired former Mobil Oil executive, and championship crew chief Jeff Hammond before the 2005 season and was renamed Red Horse Racing. Whitt grabbed the team's first win at Memphis from the pole.

For the 2006 season, David Starr, former driver of the #75 Spears Chevy Silverado, drove the team's Toyotas, which switched from #38 to #11. Starr then won the fourth race of the season at Martinsville and finished fourth in the standings. Despite their success, the team was forced to release Starr at the end of the year due to a lack of sponsorship. He was replaced by Aaron Fike in 2007, and the team switched numbers again, to #1. After Fike was arrested in Ohio for drug use, Busch Series drivers David Green and Jason Leffler rounded out the season for the team, and Whitt returned at Atlanta. For 2008, David Starr will return to RHR after departing for Circle Bar Racing, with the team running the #11.
