StarCom Racing (SCR) is an American racing team that competes part time in the Michelin Pilot Challenge and formerly competed full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series. Based in Salisbury, North Carolina, the team fields the No. 12 Hyundai Elantra TCR in a partnership with Nitro Motorsports, with Andy Lally.[2][3][4] In NASCAR, the team fielded the No. 00 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE full-time for Quin Houff[1] in a technical alliance with Richard Childress Racing. Veteran NASCAR driver Derrike Cope served as the team's manager.[5][6] The team folded in 2021 and its assets were bought by 23XI Racing later that year.

On February 1, 2024, it was announced that the team would reopen and run select races in the Michelin Pilot Challenge in collaboration with Nitro Motorsports.[7]
