After not entering any races in 2006, Todd Souza returned to the Busch Series in 2007, again at Mexico City, but now using the No. 13, his West Series car number. Unlike two years earlier, he made the field this time. After finishing a solid 23rd in his debut, he attempted one other race that year, Phoenix in November, where he successfully qualified for the race but crashed out and finished fortieth. That race is his last start in the series to date.Car No. 97 history
Todd Souza attempted to make his debut in the NASCAR Busch Series in 2005 at the series' inaugural race at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez road course in Mexico City. Fielding his own No. 97 Chevrolet, Souza failed to qualify. He returned later that year at the other road course on the schedule, Watkins Glen, and did not qualify again.ARCA Menards Series West
Car No. 3 history
In 2022, in an ARCA website interview, Todd Souza talked about going part-time with a second car for his team and having the No. 13 running full time with another driver. In 2023 at Shasta Speedway, the No. 3 would make its first debut with Todd behind the wheel, with Tyler Reif driving the No. 13.Although Souza did return for another full season in 2023, which he confirmed would be his final season as a driver, he and his team did debut a second part-time car, the No. 3, at Shasta with him driving that car and Tyler Reif driving his No. 13 car in that race.
On January 3, 2024, it was announced that Reif would run full-time in the No. 13 car in 2024, with Souza returning to the series part-time in the No. 3 car. He would end up running full-time in the No. 3, with the exception of the race at All American Speedway, where Kyle Keller drove the No. 3 instead.
In 2025, Souza would return to the No. 3 car at Tucson Speedway, where he led the most laps and finished eighth.
Car No. 13 history
Souza has competed in NASCAR's West Series since 2006. He has one career win in the series, coming at Miller Motorsports Park in Utah in 2008. He completed his first full-time season in 2017 before scaling back to part-time for the 2018 season.Souza's 2019 season was highlighted by two top-three finishes: a third-place run at Colorado National Speedway and a runner-up finish at Meridian Speedway. He also made headlines at Gateway after on-track contact with Hailie Deegan, calling her "spoiled and rotten" and deeming her move "disrespectful."
On April 14, 2022, Souza stated in an interview for the ARCA website that he might only run part-time in the West Series in 2023 in a new second car for his own team with someone else replacing him in his No. 13 car full-time.
In 2024, CCR would switch car manufacturers from Ford to Toyota. Tyler Reif was announced to race full-time in the No. 13 for CCR that year with Michael Muñoz as his crew chief. Tyler would go on to win the team's second win at Shasta Speedway after leading every lap of the race. He would take the team back-to-back in wins after winning the next race at Tri-City Raceway. He finished second in points in the series that year.
In 2025, Tyler's brother Tanner Reif would be announced to race full-time in the No. 13 for CCR that year. Muñoz would stay as the crew chief for the 13. Tanner would garner his third career win at Tucson, after saving his tires late in the race. For reasons still unknown, Tanner would race his final race with Central Coast Racing at The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Jade Avedisian made her second start in the ARCA Menards Series West by filling in for Tanner at the final race at Phoenix Raceway.
