Fury Race Cars, officially branded as FURY Race Cars, is a U.S.-based manufacturer of race vehicles and a professional team competing in Late Model and stock car racing. Established in 2016 by seasoned motorsports champions Darius Grala, Tony Eury Jr., and Jeff Fultz, the firm specializes in designing and constructing race cars and chassis for NASCAR, the ARCA Menards Series, as well as various late model and modified racing circuits throughout the United States. In 2018, the team ran a part-time entry in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, fielding the No. 61 Ford Mustang with Kaz Grala behind the wheel.

Manufacturing operations and late model racing program

Since its inception in 2016, Fury Race Cars has been producing Pro and Super Late Models (Model L), Modified race cars (Model M), along with track-day road course vehicles (Model R). Their products are distributed across North America and Europe, ranging from bare chassis to fully assembled, race-ready cars. All production is centralized at their Mooresville, North Carolina facility. Additionally, Fury provides customer support through authorized dealers and service centers located in both the United States and Canada.

Fury’s initial significant triumph occurred in December 2016 when Christian Eckes claimed victory at the Snowball Derby held at Five Flags Speedway. Their vehicles dominated the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour, securing championships consecutively from 2016 through 2018, alongside numerous regional titles. Highlights include top-five finishes at prominent events such as the 2018 Rattler 250 and World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing, as well as an impressive 1–2–3–4–5 sweep at the 2018 Winchester 400.

In October 2020, Fury was selected to serve as the chassis designer and builder for the newly launched Superstar Racing Experience series.

Involvement in NASCAR and ARCA

After departing from JGL Racing—where sponsorship difficulties and health problems affecting ownership arose—driver Kaz Grala signed with Fury Race Cars in May 2018. The team is partially owned by his father, Darius Grala, and secured sponsorship from New England Tractor Trailer Training School, a longtime supporter of Kaz. JGL Racing contributed three cars to the transition, while crew members including crew chief Shane Wilson also moved to Fury’s operation. The team competed under the No. 61 number as a tribute to Richie Evans.

Fury made its debut at Charlotte Motor Speedway, achieving a commendable 10th-place finish. At Michigan International Speedway, Grala led laps for the first time in his career before finishing 12th. He continued with another top-10 result, finishing tenth at Iowa Speedway. Additional backing from IT Coalition and Kiklos allowed continued competition throughout the season, highlighted by a fifth-place finish at Daytona International Speedway driving an older vehicle previously used for promotional purposes—marking Fury’s inaugural top-five result.

Due to sponsorship shortages, the team was unable to participate at Kentucky, which resulted in missing the playoff cut. Nonetheless, support from IT Coalition, DMB Financial, and Hot Scream enabled Grala to compete in four road-course races plus events at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and the season-ending race at Homestead–Miami Speedway.

Grala moved on to Richard Childress Racing in 2019, leading Fury to pause its Xfinity Series entries that year. The team reentered stock car competition in 2020 by partnering with Ken Schrader Racing to field an entry in the ARCA Menards Series at Daytona. Their late model driver, Natalie Decker, who also runs part-time in the Truck Series with Niece Motorsports, piloted Schrader’s No. 52 car.
