Brewco Motorsports was a racing team that competed in the NASCAR Busch Series (now the Xfinity Series). The team was owned from 1995 until 2007 by Clarence Brewer Jr., his wife Tammy, and Todd Wilkerson. The team won 10 races over 13 seasons in the Busch Series, and entered a single NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race in 2004. The team was sold to Mike Curb and Gary Baker with nine races left in the 2007 season, with both Brewco entries becoming part of Baker-Curb Racing.
NASCAR Nextel Cup Series
In 2004, Brewco Motorsports entered the Chevy Rock & Roll 400 at Richmond International Raceway, with David Green driving the No. 27 Chevrolet sponsored by Timber Wolf. Green qualified in 34th place, and finished 31st, three laps down.[1] At the time, Green was driving the No. 37 for Brewco in the Busch Series, with Timber Wolf as the sponsor. This would be Brewco's only race in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series.

Car No. 37 History
- Mark Green (1995-1998)
Brewco debuted at the Kroger 200 at Indianapolis Raceway Park in 1995, with Mark Green finishing 18th in the No. 41 car. Green finished 28th-place at Richmond the next month, but failed to qualify for the last two races of the season. In 1996, after gaining sponsorship from Timber Wolf, the team changed their number to 37 and ran ten races with Green, posting a top-ten finish at Myrtle Beach Speedway. The team finally went full-time in 1997, with Green chalking up five top-ten finishes and finishing just 79 points shy of a top-ten finish in points.
- Kevin Grubb (1999-2001)
After the 1998 season yielded four top-ten's, Green left for Washington-Erving Motorsports, and was replaced by Kevin Grubb. Grubb failed to qualify four times, but finished fifth at Richmond and was seventeenth in points at season's end. Grubb improved four spots the next season, with six top-tens, and in 2001, he had seven finishes of ninth or better.
- Jeff Purvis (2002)
For 2002 Grubb departed for Carroll Racing, and was replaced by Jeff Purvis. Purvis won at Texas Motor Speedway in April, but almost died six weeks later from a crash at Nazareth Speedway.[2] Kevin Lepage took his place, and won two poles, before Elton Sawyer finished out the last three races of the year.
- David Green (2003-2006)
In 2003, the team switched from Chevrolet to Pontiac, and David Green (Mark's brother) took over the driving chores. The change was a success, as Green won three races and was runner-up in the championship standings in his first season with the team. After a winless 2004, in which the team drove a mixture of Chevrolets and Pontiacs, Brewco changed manufacturers to Ford, and moved the number 27 and its sponsor Kleenex to Green's team, with the existing No. 27 becoming the No. 66. In 2005, Green collected one win and finished eighth in the points, but in 2006, he struggled (finishing in the top 10 only twice), and was replaced by Casey Atwood late in the season.
- Multiple drivers #27 (2007)
In 2007, Ward Burton, Jason Keller, Bobby East, and road course ringer Jorge Goeters split the No. 27 Ford Fusion, with sponsorship from Kimberly-Clark and State Water Heaters. Before the second Bristol race, Burton was replaced by Johnny Sauter, in what would be Brewco's final race. After Bristol, Brewer sold the team to Baker-Curb Racing.
