Truck No. 02 history

The team debuted in the 2012 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season with Tyler Young in a part-time schedule. In 2013, Young returned again for a part-time schedule. In 2014 the team ran its first full-time season, again with Young. In 2016, the team returned to a part-time schedule, sharing the No. 02 with Austin Hill Racing and Rette Jones Racing. Dylan Lupton, Austin Theriault, Derek Scott Jr. and Scott Lagasse Jr. also drove the 02 in 2016.
In 2017, the team announced that the truck would be split by Austin Hill and Tyler Young. 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. Young's Motorsports has not yet announced his substitute replacement for the race at Canada nor the following races until his suspension is lifted. D. J. Kennington served as his substitute replacement for the race at Canada. Dippel was reinstated the following week on August 28, 2019.

Truck No. 20 history

The No. 20 was Austin Hill Racing's former number. In 2017, with Hill now on No. 02 truck, the second truck became the No. 20. The team debuted at Iowa Speedway. Speed Energy Formula Off-Road champion Sheldon Creed drove the No. 20 at Eldora Speedway.
The team planned to run full-time with the No. 20 team in 2018. Scott Lagasse Jr. drove the No. 20 Chevrolet in the season opener at Daytona with a 5th-place finish. Austin and Ty Dillon soon after announced through Team Dillon that Richard Childress Racing affiliated drivers, including Austin, Ty, Daniel Hemric and Tanner Thorson would pilot the 20 for the vast majority of the remaining schedule, with Thorson taking most of the races. Michel Disdier, Reid Wilson, Tate Fogleman, Darrell Wallace Jr. and Max Tullman also drove the 20 truck in 2018.
For the 2019 season, Spencer Boyd was announced to pilot the 20 full-time. He started off the season with a career-best fourth-place result at the 2019 NextEra Energy 250. Boyd raced the team to an unofficial second-place finish in the 2019 Sugarlands Shine 250 at Talladega, however the unofficial winner, Johnny Sauter, would be penalized for forcing the No. 51 KBM truck of Riley Herbst below the double yellow line in an attempt to block, giving the win to Boyd and Young's Motorsports.
