Akins Motorsports, formerly Akins-Sutton Motorsports[4] was a NASCAR team based in Mooresville, North Carolina, which is near Charlotte. The team was formed in 1992 by Brad Akins, owner of several car dealerships in Georgia and team pit crew member,[2][4] and Bob Sutton who served as the team's financial manager.[4] At the time the team was sold to Braun Racing in 2006, it was owned by longtime team general manager Doug Stringer.[3][5][1] The team was known for its Great Clips-sponsored #38 team in the Busch Series (now the Xfinity Series), which was later fielded by Braun Racing and Turner Scott Motorsports.[6]
