On February 13 , 2017 , Martins Motorsports announced a partnership with another family Truck team , Brandonbilt Motorsports , to put driver Brandon Brown in the 44 truck for " select races " . However , the operations of the 44 truck ceased with the 2017 Xfinity announcement except for Heffner again piloting the truck at Eldora . After ceasing operations , owner points of the 44 truck were sold to Faith Motorsports . When that team ran into organizational trouble mid-season , Matt Mills drove the truck for a race at Kentucky but crashed out . The much-anticipated return of Heffner the following race was derailed due to a blown engine early in the weekend , the entry never making it to the grid . After the Eldora race , the 44 became a joint-prepared effort between Martins and AM Racing . That relationship lasted through the end of the season except for Faith and Ted Minor running a Las Vegas shooting paint scheme at Texas
