11 car for Bodine, who purchased the team from Junior Johnson & Associates (for whom he had driven for in 1995) during the 1995–96 offseason.

Brett's team struggled with consistency that season but they did manage to finish 24th in the points standings, with one top ten.

[2][1] 1997 saw Brett sign a long term sponsorship deal that would put Close Call Phone Cards on the car.

The season started off well with Bodine achieving two top ten finishes in the first 9 races.

However, just half-way into the season Close-Call stopped paying its sponsorship bills and Brett was forced to strip the decals off of his car.

The car ran unsponsored for the remainder of the season and Bodine was forced to sell part of the team to Andy Evans, although he later re-acquired full interest.

11 team also failed to qualify for 2 events and Paychex chose not to return at the end of the season.

But another blow to the organization RedCell stopped paying its dues midseason, and the team once again was forced to go without strong backing.

Geoffrey Bodine drove the car in the Bud Shootout at Daytona and Brett ran 5 early season races before Hooters pulled the plug, leaving the team with no sponsor.

[4] To compound problems, that same weekend in practice Brett was involved in a horrifying crash that sidelined him for several weeks.

However, this quickly came to end when Kirk was unable to make a race, and the drivers went their own ways.

This car made its debut at Richmond in 2001 with Josh Richeson, a relative of Brett's, behind the wheel.
