Xfinity Series
[edit]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.
