Cup Series
From 1984-1992, Gerhart ran his team in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, the. Winston Cup, part time, usually running at Pocono in his home state of Pennsylvania. Gerhart ran the team in several other races as well. The team made several attempts at the Daytona 500, but never qualified for The Great American Race. Despite his best performances coming on Super Speedway tracks, Gerhart only qualified for 2 in his Cup career, the 1992 Firecracker 400, and the Diehard 500 later that season, while DNQ'ing 10 times at Daytona and Talladega. The team has not attempted a cup race since the 2002 Daytona 500.
Xfinity Series
Car No. 85 History
After several years of driving for Bob Schacht in the Xfinity series, Gerhart moved his ARCA team to NASCAR's second series in 2013, attempting just three races: the two races at Daytona International Speedway and the race at Talladega Superspeedway. With Gerhart driving, the team qualified for the talladega and the later Daytona race with funding from Lucas Oil.[3] 2014 brought a similar mantra for the team: attempt the three restrictor plate races. Gerhart made two of them, the spring Daytona and Talladega, while failing to qualify for the summer Daytona race.[4]In 2015, Gerhart made one of the three races he attempted with the team, the Subway Firecracker 250. He failed to qualify for the PowerShares QQQ 300 and the Winn-Dixie 300.[5]Known for running well at restrictor plate tracks, Gerhart attempted and made the first two plate races of the 2016 season, crashing at Daytona and turning in a 33rd place finish at Talladega.[6]
Camping World Truck Series
Truck No. 36 History
Gerhart drove this truck in the 2015 Truck race at Talladega, sticking to the theme of restrictor plate tracks.[7] In 2016, the team attempted the season-opening NextEra Energy Resources 250 at Daytona. Gerhart equaled his 2015 Talladega result with a 12th place finish.[8]
ARCA Racing Series
Car No. 5 History
Since 1988, Gerhart has competed for his self-owned team in the ARCA Racing Series. All 9 of his ARCA wins came at Daytona and Talladega. On two separate occasions, Gerhart won 3 straight races at Daytona, from 2005-2007, and again from 2010-2012. Gerhart's best ARCA performance was in the 2006 season, running the full schedule since the 2000 season, and finishing 2nd in points to Frank Kimmel. Gerhart has typically run the majority of the season since 2007, with other teams leasing his points to run races.
