Mario Gosselin owns this stock car team, formerly King Autosport, which began as a Canadian operation. It won two ARCA races under Gosselin, has run Truck and Xfinity entries, and now fields three Chevrolets from Lake Wales, Florida.
DGM Racing, formerly King Autosport, is a Canadian stock car team that now races in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series from Lake Wales, Florida. The team is owned by Mario Gosselin, who won two ARCA races with it, and it currently runs three Chevrolet Camaro SS entries: the No. 71 part-time, the No. 91 full-time and the No. 92 full-time.
How did DGM's ARCA and Truck years begin?
DGM's early racing was in ARCA, where it fielded a No. 12 Chevrolet for Gosselin in 2002. Gosselin finished third at Pocono that year. In 2003 he attempted five races, failed to qualify at Charlotte and won at Nashville. He returned to Nashville in 2006 and won again, giving the team two ARCA wins in the series.
In 2004 Gosselin made one start in the No. 12 at Nashville and finished fourth. In 2006 he made twelve starts, failing to qualify at Winchester, and other drivers filled the car for the rest of the field. Alli Owens drove the No. 12 in 2008, scoring a best finish of fifteenth on three occasions in twelve races. Russ Dugger's best ARCA result came in 2015, when he finished fifth at Talladega, and he was running fourth late in the Kansas race before finishing eleventh.

What did the Truck Series programme look like?
DGM ran a Truck Series team in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Gosselin fielded the No. 12 Chevrolet Silverado in 2008 for six races, and in 2009 he returned for fourteen races, with Dexter Bean and Derek White filling a few starts. In 2010 Gosselin ran the No. 12 full-time with TireMonkey.com as sponsor, and at the end of that season he sold the team's owner points to Johanna Long and her Panhandle Motorsports operation for 2011.
The truck team's other numbers were used for one-off entries. Alex Guenette drove the No. 39 at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in 2013, running near the top 10 until oil line trouble left him 25th. He drove the No. 74 at Martinsville in 2014, and Martin Roy qualified the No. 84 21st in 2013 before finishing fourteenth.

How did the No. 90 Xfinity car develop?
The No. 90 made its first Xfinity start with Martin Roy in 2014. Roy made the field in five of six races, and only failed at Homestead. In 2015 the team returned full-time with Gosselin and Roy, but the ride was split with SS-Green Light Racing, and the car ran only 18 races with DGM Racing.
In 2016 the No. 90 was almost full-time, with two races fielded by other teams. In 2017 DGM ran the car for 21 races, and Brandonbilt Motorsports ran the other twelve. In 2018 DGM ran 26 races to Brandonbilt's seven. In 2019 DGM ran the No. 90 full-time on its own.
That 2019 season produced the team's best Xfinity finish. Alex Labbe finished sixth at the Drive for the Cure 250, and Josh Williams had earlier taken eighth at Talladega in the No. 36. In 2020 the No. 90 was shared by Caesar Bacarella, Dillon Bassett, Labbe, Ronnie Bassett Jr., Dexter Bean, Preston Pardus, B. J. McLeod and Donald Theetge, and it earned one top-10 finish, Labbe's eighth at the Pennzoil 150.
What did the No. 36 car do?
In 2018 DGM announced that Labbe would run the No. 36 full-time with Can-Am sponsorship. In 2019 Williams drove the car full-time and recorded his best career finish in the series. In 2020 Labbe returned for 21 races, and in 2021 he ran the full season and finished nineteenth in points with three top-10 finishes.
In 2022 Josh Bilicki drove the car at Daytona and Labbe ran the rest of the year. The No. 36 went part-time in 2023 with Labbe, Bilicki, Alex Guenette and Kyle Weatherman all driving. In February 2024 Natalie Decker led seven laps at Daytona and finished eighteenth.
How did the No. 91 become a full-time car?
In 2020 the team fielded a fourth car for the first time, with Gosselin driving the No. 91 in the Daytona opener. He failed to qualify when rain washed out qualifying. Preston Pardus was then excluded from the Daytona Road Course field, because the team was outside the top 35 in owners' points and had not qualified, and he qualified the car at COTA.
For 2022 the car ran full-time with Mason Massey as primary driver, while Pardus drove five road course events. In 2023 DGM rotated drivers through the full-time seat, including Josh Bilicki, Ross Chastain, Garrett Smithley, Chad Chastain, Alex Labbe, Kyle Weatherman, Dexter Bean and Alex Guenette. On 14 November 2023 Weatherman was named full-time for 2024.
Weatherman was fined US$25,000 after the Portland race for intentionally damaging another vehicle on pit road. In 2025 Josh Bilicki became the primary driver. At Daytona, Kris Wright ran into the back of Bilicki on pit road on lap 86 after failing to brake, and the impact sent Bilicki's car into the air. Bilicki was able to continue and finished fourteenth, while Wright's race ended.
In 2026 Mason Maggio became the primary driver of the No. 91, and Carson Kvapil ran four races to fill out his own full-time schedule. Derek Lemke made his debut at Iowa in the car.
How did the No. 92 car run?
The No. 92 was created in 2015 as DGM's second team. It ran a limited schedule with various drivers and was often a late entry to fill the 38-car field. In 2020 Josh Williams drove the car full-time, earning his best career finish with a sixth at Kansas. He returned in 2021, and in 2022 he left for B. J. McLeod Motorsports while Kyle Weatherman drove for DGM. The team then sold the No. 92 points to SS-Green Light Racing.
Williams came back in 2023. At Atlanta he sustained heavy damage on lap 27, and after debris from his repaired car caused another caution, NASCAR parked him. He stopped his car on the start-finish line and walked back to pit road, and he was suspended for the COTA race. Alex Labbe replaced him there and finished fifteenth.
After Williams joined Kaulig Racing for 2024, the No. 92 was run by Josh Bilicki, Nick Leitz, Dexter Bean, Kaden Honeycutt, Natalie Decker, Nathan Byrd, Ross Chastain and Dawson Cram. Chastain's sixth at Watkins Glen was the team's best finish of 2024. The car went part-time in 2025, and Leland Honeyman finished 26th at the Charlotte roval.
On 14 November 2025 DGM announced that Williams would return to the No. 92 on a multi-year agreement. Honeyman then drove the car at several 2026 races, and Mason Maggio covered the Iowa and fall Charlotte races.
What is the team's current line-up?
DGM announced on 6 December 2024 that the No. 71 would run in 2025 with Ryan Ellis, backed by Sweetwater Construction. In 2026 the No. 71 was run by Leland Honeyman at Sonoma and the summer Daytona race. The No. 91 is run mainly by Mason Maggio and the No. 92 mainly by Josh Williams.
What is the legacy of DGM Racing?
DGM's legacy is its long run as a family-owned team that moved between Canada and Florida and between ARCA, Truck and Xfinity. Gosselin's two ARCA wins are the team's clearest individual achievements, and the Xfinity programme gave several drivers their first sustained start.
The team's recent results have been modest, but its three-car line-up and its mix of full-time and part-time drivers show a team that still depends heavily on sponsorship and driver arrangements.
What were the team's ARCA highlights beyond the wins?
Beyond Gosselin's wins, DGM's ARCA cars made scattered starts with many drivers. Justin Drawdy drove the No. 72 Chevrolet for one race at Nashville in 2006, and Dawayne Bryan made two starts in a Dodge. In 2007 J. R. Heffner finished 35th at Daytona in the No. 72. In 2012 Fain Skinner ran a consistent race in the No. 39 Ford at Daytona until a late accident on the final lap cost him a fifteenth-place finish.
In 2014 Alex Guenette drove the No. 17 at Talladega and finished twentieth, two laps down. In 2018 L. B. Skaggs took the No. 71 Toyota to fourteenth at Pocono. Nur Ali had driven the No. 10 Chevrolet at Texas in 2010, and Russ Dugger's fifth at Talladega in 2015 was his career best.
How did the smaller truck entries run?
DGM's truck numbers were often used for part-time entries. The No. 72 Chevrolet ran part-time in 2009, with Gosselin driving one race, Clay Rogers one, and Michelle Theriault making four starts. John Jackson made five starts with the No. 72 that year. Johnny Chapman drove it for two races in 2010, and Caitlin Shaw drove it at Phoenix.
The No. 92 truck also ran in 2009, with John Jackson making three starts and Derek White one at Homestead, where he failed to qualify. In 2014 Alex Guenette drove the No. 74 at Martinsville as a one-off, and in 2013 Martin Roy qualified the No. 84 21st at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park before finishing fourteenth.
How did Gosselin drive for his own team?
Gosselin was also an active driver for the team. He drove the No. 63 Chevrolet at Kentucky in 2006 and failed to qualify, and he made seven starts in the No. 12 ARCA car in 2007 after twelve the year before. He made one start at Daytona in the No. 12 in 2009, and in 2020 he drove the No. 91 at the Xfinity opener at Daytona, his first Xfinity start as a driver since 2017.
The No. 36 story also had a late twist. In 2023 Labbe's entry at Daytona did not qualify, so Josh Bilicki drove the car at Sonoma and at the Indianapolis road course, finishing nineteenth and eighteenth. That kind of rotation was typical of the team's smaller entries.
