Source-derived summary

Marsh Racing is an American professional stock car racing team that last competed in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East. The team is owned by Ted Marsh, a longtime Chevrolet team sporting the No. 31 with backing from Whelen Engineering. His current Rolex Series drivers include Boris Said and Eric Curran; his former NASCAR drivers included veterans Steve Park and Richard Childress Racing development driver Peyton Sellers.

Busch Series

Marsh Racing began competing in the Busch Series in 1998 with Ted Christopher competing in three races for the team. Driving the No. 13 Whelen Engineering Chevrolet, Christopher posted a best finish of 10th at Nazareth. In 1999, the team attempted 12 races, again with Ted Christopher driving the car. The team would make five races and post a best finish of 8th at Nazareth.

For the 2000 season, Marsh Racing selected Steve Park as the team's driver and Whelen Engineering returned as the sponsor for a limited schedule with the newly renumbered No.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “team in the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series which formerly competed in the NASCAR Busch Series” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6773336. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1998, 1999 and 2000.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
