Busch Series Car No. 5 history The No. 5 was used in the two 1995 and the first 1996 Bristol races by short track ringer and former full-time Henderson Motorsports driver Brad Teague. The 1995 races would see him run alongside the full-time No. 75, while the 1996 race would see him as the only Henderson Motorsports car to make the field. These races would see a best finish of seventh and a worst of 32nd, in the first and last races respectively.

Car No. 15 history The No. 15 was first used for Henderson Motorsports' NASCAR debut, a one-race deal for Brad Teague. At the time he was also the driver for their Cup series team which would debut the following day. He finished fourth at the Busch series first trip to Bristol. The number would resurface fifteen years later for another one-race deal, as a second car alongside the main No. 75. With Brad Teague behind the wheel again for the first 1997 Bristol race, he would start and finish 22nd.

Car No. 66 history The first time Henderson Motorsports ran a second car was for the second Bristol race in 1988. The number chosen was 66, and it was run by series regular Geoffrey Bodine. After qualifying third, he would have engine issues on lap 159 and finish 25th. No. 66 never appeared again for Henderson, nor did Geoffrey Bodine. Rusty Wallace was supposed to drive the #66 car for this race, but was involved in a crash in Cup practice, and was not able to drive, so the team chose Bodine as a last minute fill-in.

Car No. 75 history Brad Teague drove the No. 75 Food Country USA Pontiac from 1985 to 1988 in the Busch Grand National Series, picking up one win and two poles, with a best finish of seventh in the final point standings. Rick Wilson drove for the team in 1989, netting two wins and one pole. 1990-91 would see them run part-time with a variety of drivers. These would include returnee Brad Teague, Cup drivers Ernie Irvan and Jimmy Spencer, prospects Ward Burton and Elton Sawyer, journeyman Curtis Markham, and the next full-time Henderson driver in Butch Miller. The best finish from these years was a second from Irvan at IRP in 1990 and a third from Miller at Rougemont in 1991. The 1992 season would be a return to form, as Butch Miller grabbed one pole, four top-five's, and ten top-ten's, including a second at the final race of the season, to finish seventh in the point standings. This tied the best points finish of 7th set by Brad Teague in the team's formative years. 1993 would be a return to being tumultuous. After ten races, Butch Miller was released in favor of Rick Wilson returning. Miller had been eleventh in points, with a pole, two top-five's, and four top-ten's at the time of his dismissal. Wilson would share his seat every so often with one-off drivers, the best of these being a fourth-place effort by Jimmy Hensley.

1994 would see an all-new driver champion the No. 75 car, Doug Heveron. A Whelen Modified regular, the initial year of this experiment would be a mixed bag. He had two top 5 finishes, but had little to no success elsewhere and failed to qualify in three events. He would finish a dismal 27th in points. 1995 would see a paring back from nearly full to part-time racing. The team would re-enlist Rick Wilson for a third time, but by then the magic was lost in the pairing and he would only have two top-ten's to match his amount of DNQs. 1996 would see a return from Heveron, and the team would attempt to run the full schedule. After one top-ten to match two DNQ's a little over halfway in the season, however, the team would move to part-time. They would fail to qualify three of the four races attempted after this point. 1997-2001 would see them enter and make fewer and fewer races as the years passed. The No. 75 would be primarily piloted by Wilson and newcomer Kelly Denton. The best finish for the team during this timeframe would be a fifth at the second 1997 Bristol race, by Rick Wilson. This would turn out to be the final top-five for the No. 75.

2002-03 would be a last hurrah for the No. 75 team. The team would sign Butch Miller on for an extended part-time schedule, the first time Miller had driven for the No. 75 since the 1993 season. The team would make all but one of their scheduled races, with a best finish of fifteenth at the first Bristol race. 2003 would see the team hiring Jay Sauter and increasing their schedule for the final time. Again only failing to make one race, this time the Daytona opener, the team would go from seven to ten made races. Sauter would be up and down throughout the year but would record the team's final top-ten with a ninth at Nashville. 2004 would limit Sauter and the No. 75 to six made races out of seven attempts and their last top-fifteen at Richmond. The next three years would see them make only one race a year, and a crash at the first Bristol race of 2007 would mark the end of the No. 75 in the Busch Series. Brad Teague, the team's first-ever driver in 1982 with the No. 15 and for the No. 75 in 1985, would end up competing in its last race as well while driving for Jimmy Means Racing.
