Billy Ballew Motorsports is an American motorsport team that competes in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series with start numbers 15 and 51. It was founded in 1996 by businessman Billy Ballew and is best known for the fact that they change drivers several times per season. In the 2005 season, no less than eight different drivers drove for the team and yet it came fourth in the owner points, not least thanks to the three victories by Kyle Busch . Billy Ballew Motorsports also designed the truck in which Geoffrey Bodine was killed in an accident in 2000 at Daytona International Speedway .
In the 2006 season, Billy Ballew Motorsports provided a truck for rookie Kyle Krisiloff with dictech.com, National Land Liquidators and Krud Kutters as sponsors. Kyle Busch also returned, drove a handful of races in the number 51 Chevrolet and won at Lowe's Motor Speedway . After Krisiloff was fired, Busch completed most of the races for the team. In the 2007 season, Bill Lester drives the number 15 for the entire season, while Kyle Busch, Steve Wallace, Kelly Sutton and Paul Menard share the number 51.
