Xpress was formed in 1996, when Coulter founded the team to promote his company, IWX Motor Freight.

Dave Fuge was hired as Crew Chief to rebuild the team and they rebounded to capture his first career win at Mesa Marin Raceway.

After Darrell Lanigan ran a one-race deal at Lowe's Motor Speedway, they did not run until the Brickyard 400 Winston Cup race, when they failed to qualify with Rich Bickle driving.

Sauter was named the team's permanent driver in 2001 and competed for NASCAR Rookie of the Year honors with Xpress, which was running Pontiacs and Chevrolets.

After crew chief Dave Fuge Sr was fined for a rules violation following the Outback Steakhouse 300 at Kentucky, the team closed its doors immediately and stopped running.

[1] Later in the season, Fuge Sr decided to revive the team, and ran a one-race deal with Mike Bliss at South Boston Speedway, where he finished ninth.

Without the guarantee of funding from Coulter,[2] Xpress decided to make a full-time run with Mike Bliss in 2002.

Bliss moved to the Busch Series for 2003 and Travis Kvapil joined Xpress from Addington Racing.

He ran with Xpress full-time with decreased support from Chevy, picking up a win at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

On September 2, it was announced that Xpress would enter a technological allegiance with Bill Davis Racing and switching manufacturers to Toyota starting at the Qwik Liner Las Vegas 350.
