The team made its NASCAR Nationwide Series debut at Richmond International Raceway, where Ryan Hackett finished 35th. Hackett failed to qualify at Nashville Superspeedway and Bristol Motor Speedway later that year.[1]
On April 4, 2009, RHR announced plans for a limited NASCAR Nationwide Series schedule, starting at Nashville Superspeedway with Hackett behind the wheel.[2] He failed to qualify at Nashville and did not attempt a Nationwide race for the rest of the season.[3]
Hackett failed to qualify in his only attempt of the 2010 season, which came at Bristol Motor Speedway.[4]
For 2012, the team moved into a new race shop in Salisbury, North Carolina and signed Donnie Neuenberger to drive the season-opening race at Daytona International Speedway.[5] He failed to qualify.[6]
A second RHR entry, Ryan Mathews drove the No. 75 in two events in 2009 with a best finish of 25th.[7]

Hackett drove seven races in 2009, and recorded a top-twenty finish at Charlotte Motor Speedway.[9]
In 2010, Hackett drove the first two races of the season for the team.[10] RHR then signed Brian Johnson Jr. to a two-race deal after seeing him race in the Toyota All-Star Showdown in January. Johnson drove for the team at Martinsville Speedway and Nashville Superspeedway.[11] The team later signed Truck Series veteran Rick Crawford to drive the No. 76 at Kansas Speedway.[12][13] A potential full-time schedule was disrupted by sponsorship issues after five races.[14]
Before the 2011 season, RHR signed Alli Owens to run the season-opening race at Daytona International Speedway.[15] Owens failed to make the field by five spots.[16] Hackett made the team's only other 2011 attempt, finishing 22nd at Talladega Superspeedway.[17]
