Braun Motorsports, formerly Braun Racing, is a NASCAR racing team based in Mooresville, North Carolina. Best known as one of the top independent Xfinity Series teams from its debut in the series in 2003,〔 the team also made several starts in the Sprint Cup Series. The team is owned by Todd Braun, son of Braun Corporation founder Ralph Braun. The team formerly had alliances with Chip Ganassi Racing and Dale Earnhardt, Inc., and the team's operations also included former entries from ppc Racing and Akins Motorsports. The team currently fields the No. 32 Chevrolet Silverado part-time for J. J. Haley. In late 2010, the team was sold to Texas businessman and Camping World Truck Series team owner Steve Turner, becoming Turner Motorsports and later Turner Scott Motorsports (TSM).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.pitroadscene.com/2010/09/turner-motorsports-acquires-braun-racing/ )〕 TSM ceased operations in 2014. After fielding entries in the regional K&N Pro Series East in 2014, the team returned to national competition in 2015 in the Camping World Truck Series with longtime sponsor Great Clips.〔 ==Sprint Cup Series== Braun Racing briefly fielded a team in the Sprint Cup Series (then the NEXTEL Cup Series) in 2005, when they began fielding the #08 WinFuel Chevrolet driven by Busch Series driver Shane Hmiel. It debuted at Atlanta Motor Speedway, but finished 43rd after Hmiel was swept up in a multi-car accident on the first lap. Hmiel raced the car the following week at Bristol Motor Speedway, and finished 40th due to overheating. The team did not run the rest of the year due to Hmiel's suspension from competition. Braun attempted another Cup race in 2006 at the fall Phoenix race with Jason Leffler driving a number 71 car and sponsorship from Ft. McDowell Resort Destination. Leffler, however, failed to qualify for the event. The team announced plans to field a Sprint Cup team for at least five races in 2010. Reed Sorenson drove the No. 32 Toyota Camry in those five races with Dollar General as the sponsor. The team also attempted a few races with no sponsor as a start and park. When Turner Motorsports announced their purchase of Braun Racing, they also announced that the Sprint Cup team had been shut down.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Braun Motorsports」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
