Definition
Go Fas Racing was an American professional stock‑car racing team that competed in the NASCAR Cup Series. The team fielded the No. 32 Chevrolet Camaro and was owned by Archie St. Hilaire.
Overview
The organization entered NASCAR competition in 2011, initially under the name FAS Racing, before adopting the Go Fas Racing branding later that season. Throughout its existence the team operated on a part‑time schedule, primarily in the premier Cup Series, and frequently employed a rotating roster of drivers. Its primary sponsor was Go Fas, a Florida‑based chain of automotive service centers owned by the team’s principal. The team’s operations were based in Mooresville, North Carolina, the hub of most NASCAR teams.
Go Fas Racing’s most notable achievements include qualifying for the Daytona 500 on several occasions and posting top‑20 finishes in the points standings during its active years. The team maintained a charter (the guaranteed entry slot for the Cup Series) that it later sold to B. J. McLeod Motorsports.
The organization ceased fielding entries after the 2021 season, with its assets and charter transferred to other teams.
Etymology / Origin
The name “Go Fas” derives from the sponsor’s brand, Go Fas, which markets automotive repair and maintenance services in the southeastern United States. “Racing” denotes the team’s involvement in motorsport competition.
