Joey Gase Motorsports is an American stock car racing team that competes in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. The team fields the No. 35 full-time for multiple drivers and the No. 53 part-time for multiple drivers.
The team, originally Joey Gase Racing, was founded by NASCAR owner-driver Joey Gase in November 2021.[1] Before the team attempted its first race under that name, NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour driver Patrick Emerling joined the team as a co-owner in December 2021 and the team was renamed Emerling-Gase Motorsports ahead of their first season in 2022.[2]
On February 1, 2024, it was announced that Emerling would be splitting from Gase in 2024 and would go to SS-Green Light Racing to drive their No. 07 car for the majority of the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series season, leaving Gase as the sole owner of the team.[3]

On November 18, 2021, Joey Gase would announce that with cars bought from defunct team H2 Motorsports and owned five cars, Gase would race for his team, Joey Gase Racing in 2022, with Gase driving the No. 35 for "most" of the season.[4]
On December 30, 2021, it was announced that Patrick Emerling would join the team to be a co-owner. The team was renamed to the now-current name Emerling-Gase Motorsports, and that Patrick Emerling and Shane Lee would also share the ride with Gase. The team would also receive Our Motorsports' No. 23 owner's points from the 2021 season.[2] Jeffrey Earnhardt would drive the No. 35 car at spring race at Phoenix and September Las Vegas race.[5] Parker Kligerman would drive the 35 car at Circuit of the Americas and Indy Road Course. Chris Dyson would drive the car at Road America.[6] Brad Perez drove the 35 car at Watkins Glen and Charlotte Roval.[7] Dawson Cram drove the 35 car at Darlington.
In 2023, C. J. McLaughlin drove the No. 35 car at Daytona. Joey Gase would drive the No. 35 at Auto Club Speedway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Phoenix Raceway. Patrick Emerling would drive the No. 35 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Parker Chase would attempt to qualify the No. 35 at Circuit of the Americas but would fail. Emerling would again drive the car at Richmond Raceway.
At the 2024 ToyotaCare 250 at Richmond Raceway, Gase was involved in a crash during the final laps. In the heat of the moment, he tore off his bumper and threw it at the No. 4 car of Dawson Cram. NASCAR fined Gase US$5,000 for a safety violation may be imposed for any action or omission by a competitor or vehicle that creates an unsafe environment or poses a threat to the safety of the competitors.[8]

Along with the December 30 announcement, the team would announce that the team would now field a part-time No. 53 entry. The team has run the No. 53 twice in 2022 at Daytona and Talladega with Joey Gase and Shane Lee respectively.[2] The No. 53 is scheduled to run full-time in 2023.[9]
In 2023, Gase returned to the No. 53 car at Daytona.[10] C. J. McLaughlin would run 17 races in the No. 53 car.[11] However, he only attempted 6 races while failing to qualify for 2 races.

[edit]In 2023, EGM announced they had purchased a superspeedway ARCA car from Tricon Garage (Formerly DGR Crosley) they also announced that they would field the No. 53 Ford Fusion for Natalie Decker in the ARCA Menards Series at Daytona. Decker finished 14th in the season opener at Daytona. The No. 53 car returned at Talladega with Patrick Emerling behind the wheel. Emerling finished 16th in the Talladega ARCA event.
Before co-owner Patrick Emerling left the team on February 1, 2024, he had announced plans to enter the ARCA season-opener at Daytona again driving the No. 53 car[12] and had participated in the series' pre-season test session at the track in January.[13] With a car having been prepared and an entry having been filed,[14] Emerling still attempted the race on his own and instead used the No. 08 and finished 17th.
