Vision Racing was a race team formerly having competed in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. The team fielded the #17 National Cash Lenders car full-time for Tanner Berryhill and a second #37 car part time. The team used Dodge Challenger cars and engines previously run by Team Penske before 2012, as well as Toyotas from Joe Gibbs Racing. After Berryhill failed to qualify Daytona Xfinity race in 2015, the team decided to shut down due to lack of sponsorship. The team returned at Talladega in May with Benny Gordon.
History
Vision Racing ran in the ARCA Racing Series in 2005, running at Nashville and Kentucky with Zach Chappel and at Pocono with Damon Lusk. Lusk also ran the season opening ARCA race at Daytona in 2006. Will Vaught ran a #13 car at Kansas, then the #37 at Gateway. The team began running the #37 Chevy in the then-Busch Series in 2006, debuting with Josh Krug at Richmond International Raceway in September. Randy LaJoie drove at Kansas in September and Texas in November, before Krug ran at Phoenix.
In 2010, Berryhill ran the ARCA race at Iowa in the #7 Nation Cash Lenders Chevy. In 2011, he ran 7 races in the K&N Pro Series East in the #97 Chevy.
2012
The Nationwide team did not run again until 2012. At Richmond in April, JJ Yeley ran the #17 Toyota Camry, while Tanner Berryhill ran the #24 Chevrolet Impala, both with sponsorship from New Gulf Resources. Berryhill finished 29th while Yeley finished 37th. Berryhill ran three more races in the #17 with a best finish of 26th at Chicago.
2013
The team ran the #17 and #37 in a limited schedule with sponsorship from National Cash Lenders. Berryhill ran 5 races in the 17 and one in the #37. Matt DiBenedetto ran 5 races in the #37. The team's best finish was a 28th at Richmond in April with Berryhill. Midway through the season, the team switched to Dodge, which had pulled factory support from NASCAR, and began running R6 engines from former Dodge team Team Penske at Charlotte.
2014
In 2014, Tanner Berryhill ran the full season for Rookie of the Year in the #17. BWP Bats sponsored the first six races of the season. The 17 and DiBenedetto in the #37 both missed the season opener at Daytona. At Talladega, Chad Boat and Billy Boat Motorsports missed the race, then made a deal to run the 17 in the race using their own car, finishing 25th. At Mid-Ohio, Berryhill got the team's best finish of 2014 with a lead-lap finish of 17th.
Ryan Ellis tweeted on August 19 that he would run the 37 car at Bristol.[1]
