The team was most notable for its relationship with Ford Motor Company as well as its long-time driver, Rick Crawford.

Afterwards, Circle Bar sponsored the late model efforts of John Kelly in 1989,[1] with the shop based in San Antonio, Texas.

The next year, CBR moved to the All-Pro Series with Kelly, but Alabama native Rick Crawford took his place in 1992.

Circle Bar Racing fielded a second truck for the first time in 1997, when Tammy Jo Kirk drove the No.

At the end of the season, Gaughan departed the team, and rookie driver James Buescher was signed to the 10 truck full-time in 2009 with Jamie Jones as his crew chief.

Crawford made every race and finished 12th in points, runner up to Kenny Irwin Jr. for Rookie of the Year.

Crawford would take his second, and arguably biggest win at the season opening Florida Dodge Dealers 250, with a last lap pass on Travis Kvapil.

The 2005 season was a mixed bag, as the team won again at Loudon, but Crawford was forced to miss the first race of his career due to a crash during qualifying at Kentucky Speedway.

The added equipment resulted in a near win at Mansfield Motorsports Park and a fifth-place points finish for Crawford.

Longtime crew chief Kevin "Cowboy" Starland left Circle Bar after 2009 for Panhandle Motorsports and International departed both the No.
