Truck Series

2017

In 2017, then 15-year-old Dawson Cram entered the 2017 Texas Roadhouse 200 driving the No. 11 Chevrolet Silverado but would later lose a motor in practice and would not attempt a race with the team again until 2020.

2020

In 2020, Cram announced he would be returning and competing at Charlotte with Long Motorsports in the No. 55. The team would then go on to attempt five more races that season, but on August 13, 2020, Cram announced that he was immediately parting ways with Long Motorsports, who would announce that they were looking for a driver to replace Cram for the rest of the season (although Cram would end up running one more race for them at Dover).[1] Shortly after that however, Long's plans changed once again, as it was announced on August 25 that Cram and his family had bought Long Motorsports, making it their team, Cram Racing Enterprises. The first race for the team under the new ownership was at Gateway, with Dawson Cram piloting the renumbered No. 41 truck.[2]

The No. 41 would be entered in the remaining 10 races in 2020, and Dawson Cram would drive it 8 of those, earning a best finish of 16th at Martinsville in October. In the two races where Cram was not the driver, Fast Track Racing ARCA Menards Series driver Ryan Huff drove it at his home track of Richmond for his second start in the series,[3] and Cody Erickson would drive at Bristol in his first Truck Series start in five years.[4]

2021

In 2021 Cram tried to attempt the full 23-race schedule but would end up only attempting 16 races making the field 13 of those times with a best finish of 17th at the Daytona Road Course, he would still attempt the full schedule however fielding his Truck for other drivers such as Cody Erickson, Will Rodgers, Keith McGee, and Todd Peck getting a best finish of 10th with Keith McGee at Talladega, the team and drivers first top 10 in the series.

2022

In 2022 the team attempts to do the full season with Dawson Cram in the No. 41 Chevrolet Silverado but has not entered a race yet.

Xfinity Series

2022

On August 29, 2022, Cram was announced to run the No. 35 car for Emerling-Gase Motorsports in a partnership with his own team CRE and sponsorship from Be Water.
