Driver Robinson first competed in the
NASCAR All-American Series in 1998 and 1999. The team's first race was the
Myrtle Beach 250 at
Myrtle Beach Speedway with
Rodney Childers driving the No. 49 Southern Marine
Chevrolet Monte Carlo. The team generally competed with different drivers in a particular car throughout the season. Wallace would also finish 11th in the final point standings. Robinson's team competed in the series through
2011, in Robinson's car at the
2008 Camping World RV Sales 200 at
New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Davis frequently started and parked that season. He finished 35th in this race, claiming clutch issues. Later in their history, the team often used the practice of
starting and parking (starting a race with no intention of finishing the race to collect the prize money) to fund their primary car. Robinson said of this activity, "The 28 car wouldn’t run without the start-and-park car. No chance. These haulers haul two cars. If you bring both of them in one transporter, you can make the numbers work out. If I brought only one car, I couldn’t make it work without more sponsorship. We’d race the 49 tomorrow, too, if there was a way."

2012, the team fielded the No. 49
