Big Machine Racing is an American professional stock car racing team that fields the No. 48 Chevrolet Camaro full-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, driven by multiple drivers.

History

Buford's No. 48 at Atlanta in July 2021

On January 19, 2021, Big Machine Records founder and owner Scott Borchetta announced that he and the company were starting a full-time Xfinity Series team, Big Machine Racing, which would field the No. 48 Chevrolet. The team bought cars and equipment from RSS Racing/Reaume Brothers Racing's No. 93 car in 2020. Jade Buford was announced as the driver of the team's No. 48 car in 2021, running full-time and for Rookie of the Year.[1] Buford drove in the Xfinity Series road course races in 2020 for SS-Green Light Racing with Big Machine Records as his sponsor. Patrick Donahue, who also moved over from SS-Green Light Racing (where he had been the crew chief of Joe Graf Jr.'s No. 08 car), was announced as the crew chief for Buford and the BMR No. 48 car. Due to only having competed on road courses in a stock car before the start of the season, Buford was not approved by NASCAR to race at Daytona to start the season, so his first race came at the Daytona Road Course the following week. On February 1, it was announced that On Point Motorsports Truck Series driver Danny Bohn would make his Xfinity Series debut at Daytona substituting for Buford. (Despite it being his first start in the series, Bohn was approved due to him previously having driven in a superspeedway race in NASCAR.)

When the Jayski's Silly Season Site 2022 Xfinity Series team/driver chart was released, it was revealed that BMR may form an alliance with a larger NASCAR Xfinity Series team. On October 7, 2021, it was announced that the team would have an alliance with Richard Childress Racing in 2022 and they would move shops from Mooresville, North Carolina to one on the RCR campus in Welcome, North Carolina.

On May 21, 2022, Cup Series driver Tyler Reddick earned the team's first victory at Texas.
