Rev Racing

Following the 2008 season, NASCAR cut ties with the Drive for Diversity's managing company Access Marketing & Communications after several reports of teams not receiving adequate funds, drivers not receiving competitive equipment, and limited results on the track. NASCAR proceeded to hire Max Siegel to revamp the program into an academy-like setting. In 2010, Siegel founded Rev Racing to field the drivers in the K&N Pro Series and Weekly Series and is also responsible for finding sponsorship for the drivers. By the end of 2011, Rev Racing had more than doubled the win total of the previous D4D program, winning a total of eight races in the K&N Pro Series (compared to three wins in the old program, all by Paulie Harraka).{{cite web|last1=Pockrass|first1=Bob|title=Drive for diversity: NASCAR's push to develop minority drivers moving slowly|url=http://www.sportingnews.com/nascar/story/2012-06-04/nascar-drive-for-diversity-program-darrell-wallace-jr-brian-france|website=Sporting News NASCAR|publisher=Sporting News|accessdate=1 September 2014|date=June 4, 2012|archive-date=2015-09-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924124450/http://www.sportingnews.com/nascar/story/2012-06-04/nascar-drive-for-diversity-program-darrell-wallace-jr-brian-france|url-status=dead}}

For its inaugural season, Revolution Racing purchased the equipment from Andy Santerre Racing, with Santerre becoming the team's general manager and a crew chief.{{cite web|last1=Mahoney|first1=Larry|title=Andy Santerre looking forward to new job with Hattori Racing|url=http://bangordailynews.com/2012/01/11/sports/professional-sports/andy-santerre-looking-forward-to-new-job-with-hattori-racing/|publisher=Bangor Daily News|accessdate=11 November 2015|date=January 11, 2012}} In its debut season, Rev Racing fielded 10 drivers: four in the K&N Pro Series East, one in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West, and five in the Whelen All-American Series. Paulie Harraka, in his fifth year in the D4D program, finished 3rd in the K&N West Series standings including a pole and a win in the season opener at All American Speedway.
