Australian sprint car racing driver Max Johnston drove the truck at Eldora Speedway.
In 2018, Austin Hill drove the 02 full-time. Despite scoring a top-five at Texas, six top-tens and an eleventh-place finish in points, Hill said that rules changes and simple mistakes by the team held them back from greater success.
In 2019, Tyler Dippel joined Young's Motorsports to drive the No. 02 full-time. On August 23, NASCAR announced that Dippel had been suspended indefinitely for violation of the sport's Code of Conduct. D. J. Kennington served as his substitute replacement for the race at Canada.

Wright started the season with a twelfth-place finish at Daytona. At the Daytona Road Course, the team unexpectedly announced that Kaz Grala would replace Wright while he made his Xfinity Series debut, Grala would come in eighth. After Wright had a positive test for COVID-19 just before the race at Atlanta, Josh Berry replaced him, finishing 22nd. Daniel Suárez also replaced Wright at Bristol, finishing seventeenth. At Darlington, Wright ran a throwback scheme to Dale Earnhardt, however, instead of his longtime sponsor Goodwrench, the sponsor was wrightcars.com, with larger letters on the side saying Goodwright. Grala returned at Circuit of the Americas, being in the top-three most of the day and finishing second to Todd Gilliland, whom he battled with for the stage 1 win, which Gilliland won. Michael Annett wanted to make his debut at Knoxville Raceway, but a leg injury caused him to be replaced by Chris Windom.
