The Touring Division operation of Petty GMS Motorsports was established in 2012 by Mark and Evelyn White as Whitestar Racing and was named as an homage to the former British shipping company the White Star Line. The team entered into a technical alliance with NASCAR Cup Series team Richard Petty Motorsports in 2018, giving RPM a 20% ownership stake and with Whitestar receiving Petty-built engines as well as technical data. On October 5, 2021, Mark and Evelyn White annoucned they had sold the controlling stake of Whitestar Racing to Richard Petty Motorsports with the team expected to debut in 2022 as Whitestar-Petty Racing. On December 1, however, GMS Racing purchased a majority interest in the former Richard Petty Motorsports for US$19 million. The deal included the controlling stake of Whitestar and will result in the team being rebranded to Petty GMS Motorsports for 2022.
They currently field four full-time entries in the NASCAR Little Caesars Touring Series with the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, including the No. 23 for Steve Barnes; the No. 24 for Jack Wood, L. P. Bergeron and Kyle Larson; the No. 26 for Russell Ward and the No. 43 for Thad Moffitt.
