30 team in the Cup Series in 2011 and 2012 before being purchased by Swan Energy CEO Brandon Davis late in 2012.
David Stremme was the team's original driver, before being replaced by rookies Cole Whitt and Parker Kligerman at the end of 2013.
The team shut down in April 2014; its owners points, employees, and most of its assets moved to Xxxtreme Motorsport and BK Racing, though Parker Kligerman remained under contract through year's end.
Davis vowed to change the team's reputation as a start and park entry, and instead run full races.
[3][4] On January 31, 2013, former NFL linebacker Bill Romanowski became a minority owner of Swan Racing.
The move blindsided Stremme, who had helped found the team out of his own race shop and was integral in Davis' purchase of the organization in 2012.
[8] On January 13, 2014, Anthony Marlowe from Iowa City Capital Partners was announced as a minority owner.
[9] On February 4, 2014, it was announced that rapper 50 Cent's headset company SMS Audio will serve as Swan Racing's associate sponsor.
[12] On July 10, 2018, former Swan Racing crew chief Steven Lane formed On Point Motorsports in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series running the No.
30 as a reference to Swan, the team currently competes full-time in the truck series with driver Tate Fogleman.
30 team made its debut in the 2011 Crown Royal 400 at Richmond International Raceway with David Stremme as the driver, qualifying 16th in their first attempt at competition.
[22] They made the field on qualifying speeds for the 2012 Daytona 500, taking the third of three guaranteed starting positions for teams not in the top 35 in owner points.
Following Michael Waltrip's run in the 2013 Daytona 500, Stremme returned to drive for the newly rechristened Swan Racing, with Tony Eury Jr. taking over crew chief duties for the team.
[29][30][31] Overall, the team had five DNF's all season and failed to reach the halfway point of a race only once, when Whitt crashed at Phoenix in November.
He also failed to finish at Phoenix (engine), Auto Club (crash), and Texas (radiator), suffered a non-terminal electronic fuel injection problem at Las Vegas and a first lap wreck at Martinsville.
