SS-Green Light Racing


SS-Green Light Racing is an American professional stock car racing team that competes in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, fielding the No. 0 Chevrolet Camaro SS primarily for Garrett Smithley and the No. 07 Chevrolet Camaro SS for Josh Bilicki. The team has a technical alliance with Richard Childress Racing.

The team is owned by former driver Bobby Dotter, who also drove for the team in numerous races when he was still driving. Dotter is currently the team's sole owner, although at various points in the team's history, businessman Ken Smith and Steve Urvan as well as Texas politician Gene Christensen were co-owners of the team with Dotter.
Green Light began competing in the Truck Series in 2000 and merged with SS Racing in 2008 during the economic downturn, as teams merging was a common thing at the time, resulting in financial success and stability. SS Racing was a team that was competing in the ASA and had previously partnered with Green Light's Truck team on various occasions, but fully merged with GLR beginning that year. The team competed in the Truck Series each year until 2017 when they decided to focus on their Xfinity program.

Car No. 07 history

In 2016, the team announced that they would field the No. 07 full-time for Ray Black Jr. with sponsorship from ScubaLife.com in all the races. He picked up nine top-twenty finishes, with a best finish of fourteenth at Bristol in August. He finished nineteenth in the driver standings. Black returned to the No. 07 for 2017 but was replaced by Todd Bodine for Charlotte. It was later announced that Spencer Boyd and Andy Lally would drive at Pocono and Mid-Ohio respectively.
In 2019, Black Jr. returned to the team from a part-time ride with B. J. McLeod Motorsports to replace Boyd and would compete full-time again in the No. 07. He was announced to return to the team for the 2020 season as well.
On May 23, 2020, Black Jr. announced that he would no longer be driving the No. 07 in order to concentrate on helping his family business, the CDA Technical Institute, recover after it experienced financial problems due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After Black's departure, it was announced that Rick Ware Racing had cut a deal with SS-Green Light to field some of their drivers in the No. 07 for the remainder of the season. This began with Garrett Smithley in the car for Charlotte and Carson Ware, Rick's son, making his series debut at Bristol.
The team's highlight of the year was when Gray Gaulding wheeled the 07 car to a 2nd-place finish at Daytona International Speedway when the top 4 wrecked on the final corner. Garrett Smithley scored a top 10 at Talladega, and Jade Buford scored a top-10 at Charlotte.
In 2021, Joe Graf Jr. ran most of the races in the No. 07 with Ross Chastain, J. J. Yeley and Josh Bilicki making appearances in the No. 07 throughout the season. Graf scored a top-ten finish in the Sparks 300.
SS Green-Light Racing switched from running Chevrolets to Fords in 2022, with Graf as the primary driver in the No. 07 once again.
On February 26, 2022, Cup Series driver Cole Custer claimed the team's first victory, which came at Auto Club Speedway. The entry was a collaborative effort between the team and Stewart–Haas Racing. On October 4, Truck Series driver Hailie Deegan announced she would make her Xfinity Series debut in the No. 07 at Las Vegas. Chase Briscoe and Brett Moffitt also each make a start, with Briscoe scoring a top ten at Indianapolis and Moffitt scoring a top-ten at Kansas.
For 2023, SS Green-Light Racing switched back to Chevrolet from Ford and revealed Blaine Perkins would drive the No. 07 full-time. However, he would only run the first five races of the season, and other drivers would drive the car throughout the rest of the year, with Carson Hocevar, Stefan Parsons, Dawson Cram, David Starr, Daniel Suárez, Spencer Pumpelly, Mason Maggio, Katherine Legge, Colin Garrett, Josh Bilicki, J. J. Yeley, Gray Gaulding, Natalie Decker, and Devin Jones making starts in the car.
In 2024, the No. 07 would continue to see a rotation of drivers, with Patrick Emerling running more than half of the season in the car, scoring a best finish of seventeenth. Daniil Kvyat, Myatt Snider, Logan Bearden, Alex Labbé, Greg Van Alst, C. J. McLaughlin, Jade Buford, Sage Karam, and Brad Perez all drove the No. 07 during the season, with McLaughlin tying Emerling's best of seventeenth.

In 2018, it was announced that Gray Gaulding would drive the No. 08 full-time in 2019. In April's MoneyLion 300 at Talladega Superspeedway, Gaulding finished a career-best second.
On January 16, 2020, it was announced that Joe Graf Jr. would drive the No. 08 car for the 2020 season, replacing Gaulding. He moved up from the ARCA Menards Series, where he drove the No. 77 for Chad Bryant Racing full-time for two years. Graf started out the season with Core Development Group sponsorship but signed a multi-year deal with Bucked Up Energy before Homestead-Miami. He posted a best finish of thirteenth in three races, and wound up 22nd in points.
The No. 08 returned in 2022, with the team signing David Starr for 28 races. Graf would also drive the No. 08 in select races, beginning in the Production Alliance Group 300. On March 29, DGM Racing sold the No. 92's owners points to the SS-Green Light Racing's No. 08 so it would be more likely to qualify.
The No. 08 returned again in 2023, with a rotating cast of drivers running the entry. Gaulding scored the best finish for the car, finishing eighth at Talladega. Other drivers who drove the No. 08 included Aric Almirola, Joey Gase, and Alex Labbé.
