Randy Humphrey Racing competed in eight races during the 2014 NASCAR Cup Series season.
IREDELL COUNTY, N.C. — A lawsuit has been filed against a former NASCAR team over an unfulfilled business transaction.
The lawsuit was filed on Thursday in Iredell County Superior Court by a Mooresville man who claims he paid Randy Humphrey Racing $50,000 for tractor-trailers and related equipment. The plaintiff states he made the payment in February 2024 but never received the items he purchased.
Randy Humphrey Racing attempted to alter the purchase agreement without the plaintiff’s approval, according to the lawsuit.
The plaintiff is seeking his $50,000 back from Randy Humphrey Racing, along with any other damages deemed applicable. The team has not legally responded to the lawsuit, and no next court date has been set.
Randy Humphrey Racing competed in eight races in the NASCAR Cup Series, all in 2014. The team’s owner, Randy Humphrey, was previously a co-owner of Phil Parsons Racing and TriStar Motorsports.
Dave Blaney, Joe Nemechek, Nelson Piquet Jr., and Corey LaJoie competed for Randy Humphrey Racing during its brief run. The team was one of many start-and-park teams of the era, along with the Parsons and TriStar teams, among others, which dropped out shortly after the start of races.
Randy Humphrey Racing’s best finish in the NASCAR Cup Series was 26th with Piquet at Watkins Glen in 2014.
Despite not competing for over a decade, the team remains a registered North Carolina business. The Cornelius-based company filed an annual report in January. The company was founded in 1995, shortly before Humphrey competed in the now-defunct NASCAR Goody’s Dash Series.
Randy Humphrey did not immediately respond to a request for comment from WCNC Charlotte about the lawsuit.
