[edit]

The team made their K&N Pro Series East (now ARCA Menards Series East) debut in 2013, with Ronnie Bassett Jr. driving in three races. He finished 23rd in his first race at Greenville-Pickens Speedway, and would follow up with a 10th place finish at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The team would run the full schedule in 2014, with Bassett getting three top fives and six top tens, finishing 11th in the final standings. The team went back to a part-time schedule from 2015 to 2016, finishing 15th in point standings for both years. 2017 would be the team's breakout season, as Bassett would collect his first career win at New Smyrna Speedway, after leading 42 laps.[3] He finished off the season with eight top fives and eleven top tens, finishing their career best 3rd in points.[4] He returned for one more full time season in 2018, finishing 4th in points after getting three top fives and nine top tens.[5]

Car No. 77 history

[edit]

On February 2, 2021, Ronnie Bassett Sr. and his sons announced that they would be reviving their team, and would attempt to run the full 2021 NASCAR Xfinity Series season with Ronnie and Dillon Bassett.[18] The team failed to qualify the season-opener at Daytona due to qualifying being rained out. The team would DNQ for the next 9 races due to combination of the number of entries per race and a lack of qualifying. Bassett Racing would debut at Circuit of the Americas with Austin Dillon being able to qualify on time, he would finish 13th.[19] The team would fail to qualify for the rest of the season once again because of no qualifying. Bassett Racing plans to run 15-18 races in 2022. Dillon Bassett would finally manage to qualify the No. 77 at Nashville after a string of DNQs.
