Curb Agajanian Performance Group - NASCAR Busch/Nationwide Series

NASCAR Busch/Nationwide Series

Curb Agajanian returned to NASCAR in 1996 with a NASCAR Busch Series entry at the GM Goodwrench Service 200. The team ran a majority of the races and fielded Ford Thunderbirds driven by USAC driver Stevie Reeves with sponsorship from Clabber Girl Baking Powder.

For 1997 the team again fielded Ford Thunderbirds for Stevie Reeves. With newly signed sponsorship from Big A Auto Parts, the team ran the entire season. Following the season, team co-owners John Andretti and Donald Laird left the team to form Andretti-Laird Motorsports, taking the #96 and Big A sponsorship with them.

Following the ownership split, the team switched to #43 and again began the season with Stevie Reeves driving Ford Thunderbirds. Due to losing their sponsor, the team ran a partial schedule with Curb Records as primary sponsor. The team switched to Chevrolet Monte Carlos during the season with Brad Noffsinger, Kevin Grubb and future NASCAR Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson driving races for the team following Reeves release a third of the way through the season.

In 1999, the team purchased hired former Stegall Motorsports driver Shane Hall and signed sponsor Central Tractor. Hall had a fourth-place finish at Myrtle Beach Speedway, and finished 24th in points. Rookie Jay Sauter replaced Hall in 2000, nailing eight top-tens and finishing seventeenth in points. He returned in 2001, and grabbed a pole at Kentucky Speedway, and finished nineteenth in points. Ron Hornaday climbed aboard to relieve Sauter in two races during the season.

In 2002, the team lost sponsorship and cut back to a limited schedule, running three races late in the season with Hermie Sadler driving. The team continued to run part-time with Sauter's brother Johnny in 2003 with sponsorship from Channellock. They picked up their first win as a team at the Funai 250 at Richmond in September, and finished 30th in owner's points. Sauter ran approximately half the season with Curb, as he also was running the #21 for Richard Childress Racing in an attempt to win the owner's championship for Childress; Sauter finished eighth in the end of season standings and the win at Richmond was his only win of the 2003 season.

For 2004, the team switched to Dodge and signed Aaron Fike as the driver. Fike ran thirteen races, his best finish a seventeenth at Dover. In 2005, Fike switched between the 43 and Brewco Motorsports, with his older brother A. J. filling in. He was not able to crack the top 20, and was released at the end of the season. Aaron returned to the ride full-time.

In 2006, Fike qualified for most of the races, but soon departed for Kevin Harvick Incorporated. A permanent replacement was not named, although P. J. Jones and Chris Cook ran a handful of races apiece, with Erin Crocker and Kertus Davis running one race deals as the team went part-time.

Due to a lack of sponsorship, CAPG was mostly inactive in the 2007 season, before attempting the Sam's Town 250 with Bobby East driving with sponsorship from Kick Butt Energy Ballz.

Following the 2007 season, the team was merged with Baker-Curb Racing.
