The team entered the ARCA Racing Series in 2009, fielding the No. 82 Ford for Sean Corr at selected events including Kentucky, Pocono, and Chicago. After experimenting with a No. 83 at Daytona in 2010 the team reverted to the No. 82 and began expanding its schedule, adding drivers such as road course specialist Robert Mitten at New Jersey Motorsports Park.
In 2011 Corr ran a full-time ARCA campaign for the first time and finished ninth in points, scoring two top-ten finishes at Iowa and Madison. The following season opened with Corr winning the pole for the Daytona opener after a rival's time was disqualified, though engine issues resulted in a last-place finish. Sponsorship constraints cut the 2012 ARCA programme back to part-time, with the team redirecting effort toward the Truck Series.
Corr took the team's first ARCA top-five at Daytona in 2013. Later that season Empire fielded Mason Mitchell after his release from another organisation, helping him pursue rookie-of-the-year honours for the remainder of the year.
Empire entered the NASCAR Gander RV and Outdoors Truck Series part-time from 2012, debuting at Pocono with Sean Corr driving the No. 82 Ford F-150 to a twenty-fifth-place finish. The team attempted a second race at Homestead without qualifying.
The Truck programme grew modestly in subsequent years. In 2015 Empire fielded four-time entrant Austin Hill at Daytona, Dover, Talladega, and Martinsville in the No. 82, while Sean Corr drove at Eldora and the team leased owner points from Win-Tron Racing to run a second truck there for Cody Erickson, improving his qualification prospects.
Beginning in 2016, Empire allied with Richard Petty Motorsports, adopting the famous No. 43 as their primary truck number. The partnership also involved a manufacturer alignment shift, as RPM had moved from Ford to Chevrolet for its Cup programme. Austin Hill attempted Daytona in the No. 43 but did not qualify. Korbin Forrister drove the No. 43 at Eldora while Corr competed in the reinstated No. 82. Both trucks failed to qualify at that race, and the team made no further Truck Series appearances after the 2016 season, focusing instead on rebuilding their ARCA effort.
The RPM alliance brought significant changes to the ARCA operation as well. In 2014 the team ran two cars at Daytona, switching to the No. 8 for Canadian Cole Powell alongside Corr in a No. 48 run in partnership with James Hylton Motorsports. That Hylton alliance continued into 2015 and 2016, providing additional entries at Nashville, IRP, and Chicago.
In 2017 the team's primary car became the No. 46, with Thad Moffitt — great-grandson of Richard Petty — making his ARCA debut in the car at Nashville, Toledo, and IRP. John Ferrier joined the team that year as both driver and co-owner, adding resources. Kaden Honeycutt made his first two ARCA starts for Empire in 2018 at Salem and IRP.
Empire purchased a fleet of Chevrolets from the closed Mason Mitchell Motorsports at the end of the 2018 season, completing the transition away from Ford to align with the RPM manufacturer arrangement. During the transition period some Empire Fords ran at Pocono with the Ford badge obscured.
The team fielded three cars at Daytona in 2019 — Corr in the No. 43, Ferrier in the No. 44, and Moffitt in the No. 46 — the largest entry since 2015. Late model division driver Lexi Gay attempted Nashville in the No. 44. Reports in late 2019 suggested Empire might pursue an NASCAR Xfinity Series move for 2020, though these did not materialise. Ferrier subsequently separated from the team to restart his own operation, while Thad Moffitt moved to DGR-Crosley for Daytona. Through these changes Corr remained the team's core driver, continuing in the ARCA Menards Series with a focus on Corr's home tracks in the northeast.
