Truck #46 history

The truck now numbered as #46 made its debut as the #47 in 2000 at the Bully Hill Vineyards 150. Morgan's father Charles drove the truck to an eighteenth place finish.
The truck did not run again until 2004 when the Morgan-Dollar team debuted a special program called the Chevrolet Silverado All-Stars program, which was a unique program showcasing popular music stars and Chevrolet's Nextel Cup drivers. Michael Waltrip was the debut driver for this special program and drove the #47 truck to a fifth place finish at the Infineon 200 at Lowe's Motor Speedway. Waltrip's truck carried a paint scheme featuring Sheryl Crow. For the remainder of the 2004 season, a series of rotating drivers raced the truck, with Tony Stewart, Robby Gordon, and Bobby Labonte posting top-five finishes in the truck. The truck featured Sara Evans (Stewart), George Thorogood (Robby Gordon), Big and Rich (Ron Hornaday), Josh Turner (Labonte - Martinsville), Joe Nichols (Jason Leffler), Acxiom (Kyle Busch and J.J. Yeley), and Chevrolet Silverado (Labonte - Homestead) as sponsors on the truck for the remainder of the season. Acxiom and Chevrolet Silverado split primary sponsorship (with Acxiom on the quarter panels and Silverado on the hood of the truck) on all of the trucks, except at Michigan International Speedway and Indianapolis Raceway Park (where Acxiom was on both the hood and quarter panels with drivers Yeley and Busch, respectively).
The Silverado All-Stars program returned in 2005, with Stewart, Labonte, Kevin Harvick, Aric Almirola, and Willie Allen all running. The truck featured sponsorship from Phil Vassar (Labonte - Atlanta 1), Econo Lodge/Rodeway Inn/Trick Pony (Labonte - Martinsville 1), Tork/Diamond Rio (Stewart - Lowe's Motor Speedway), Makita Tools (Stewart - Dover), FedEx Express/FedEx Kinkos/Silverado/Home Depot (Almirola), The City of Nashville (Allen), Econo Lodge/Rodeway Inn/Julie Roberts (Labonte - Atlanta 2), and KISS/RaySat (Harvick - Richmond). The truck came within .008 of a second from scoring its first victory with Labonte at the Atlanta Motor Speedway race in March 2005, then finally scored their first win with Labonte back at the wheel the next week at Martinsville Speedway.
In 2006, MB2 Motorsports development driver Kraig Kinser took over the truck, expanding Morgan-Dollar to two full-time truck teams. After DNQ-ing at California Speedway, the team switched to the #29 briefly to assume K Automotive Racing's owner's points, then switched to the #46. The truck is alternating sponsors between Centrix Auto Finance and the U.S. Army. The truck has also sported sponsorships from Ginn Clubs and Resorts and the Veterans of Foreign Wars (Kansas Speedway, July 2006).
Kinser was replaced in the truck by Clint Bowyer at New Hampshire International Speedway in September. Kinser returned to the truck for his final 2006 NCTS race two weeks later at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Joe Nemechek and Bowyer were announced as replacements in the truck for the races at Talladega and Texas, respectively. Bowyer gave the team a victory at Texas. Mike Wallace drove the truck at the beginning of the season at
