Phenomenal Motorsports

Phenomenal Motorsports was started in 2016 by Christian Cook to compete in what was going to be the NOFSRL Budweiser Cup Series, Pepsi Racing Series, and Castrol Truck Series. However, due to technical issues, the series folded before it even had a chance to start. Phenomenal Motorsports stayed around in the background however, fielding a team in a small, local division out of Georgia.

Early Days
When Phenomenal Motorsports was founded in 2016 it was meant to compete in the 2016 NOFSRL Budweiser Cup Series, Pepsi Racing Series and Castrol Truck Series. However, due to technical issues, those series folded before they even had a chance to start. In order to cut his losses, Cook decided to sell the cars and trucks he had bought to run in those series, and decided to take less of a risk and run in a small late model division running out of Georgia. In 2019, Cook decided to retire from being a driver and hired a young talent named Mark Allen to drive for him in the 2019 season.

Summit Late Model Series
In 2020, Cook announced that he would be starting his own league, the National Offline Racing Association, starting with the Summit Late Model Series. With this announcement, also came the announcement that Phenomenal Motorsports would be moving their late model division to the NORA. On top of this, they had decided to expand to 2 teams and hired on newcomer Jason Tomlin to drive the #20 Home Depot Toyota. The team had mixed results in the inaugural Kobalt Tools 100 with Tomlin finishing 11th and Allen finishing 17th.

#18 Car History
The #18 team at Phenomenal Motorsports started out as the #13 team and was owned and driven by Christian Cook. In 2019, Cook decided to focus on being an owner and hired a 21 year old Mark Allen to take over in the car. With a new driver, the team rebranded to the #18 and gained new sponsorship with Interstate Batteries. The team competed in a small division based out of Georgia until the end of 2019. In 2020, the team began competing in the NORA's Summit Late Model Series, which ran races across the southeast United States. Unfortunately, the team got off to a rocky start with a 17th place finish in the inaugural Kobalt Tools 100 at Daytona Intl. Speedway.

#20 Car History
The #20 team was started at the beginning of 2020 in order to compete in the NORA Summit Late Model Series. Jason Tomlin was hired to be the driver for the new team. The team finished the first race of the season in 11th place.
