Manufacturing business and late model team
Formed in 2016, FURY Race Cars manufactures Pro and Super Late Models (called the Model L) and Modified race cars (Model M), as well as track-day road-course cars (Model R). The company sells race cars to customers across North America and Europe at any requested level of completion, from bare chassis to turn-key ready-to-race vehicles. All race cars are built at the FURY shop in Mooresville, North Carolina. FURY also has several authorized dealers and repair facilities across the United States and Canada where customers can purchase new FURY cars, purchase parts or repair damaged race cars.

FURY Race Cars' first big win as a company came in December of 2016 when Christian Eckes won the Snowball Derby at Five Flags Speedway. FURY cars have also captured the 2016–2018 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour championships, as well as regional and track championships across the U.S. The company's vehicles have also finished first, second and third in both the 2018 Rattler 250 and 2018 World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing and earned a 1-2-3-4-5 sweep in the 2018 Winchester 400.

NASCAR and ARCA
The team's driver, Kaz Grala, had been running full-time in the Xfinity Series for JGL Racing, a team that was struggling in two ways that year, with finding sponsorship and their owner James Whitener having health problems. Grala was released by JGL on May 15, 2018 with his No. 24 team shutting down, and JGL cut back to one car. Three days later, it was announced that Grala would be driving in the next four races with FURY, which is owned in part by his father Darius. Sponsorship came from New England Tractor Trailer Training School, which had supported Grala throughout his racing career, including in the Xfinity Series at JGL. JGL also provided Kaz Grala with three cars when it terminated his contract, and many crew members from JGL, including crew chief Shane Wilson, moved over to FURY's team, which would use the No. 61, which was chosen in honor of Richie Evans. In the team's debut at Charlotte Motor Speedway, they finished an impressive 10th. Two weeks later at Michigan International Speedway, Grala led his first ever laps for the team and finished 12th, Grala would then go onto finish 10th at Iowa Speedway in what many thought could be his last race of the season, but two weeks later it was announced that IT Coalition and longtime sponsor Kiklos would hop on board for the next race at Chicagoland Speedway. In just the team's sixth race at Daytona International Speedway, Grala would finish fifth in a borrowed 10-year-old race car, which had been retired as a show car, earning the team's first top-five finish in their brief history. Grala and the team couldn’t find a sponsor to run at Kentucky, which meant he and the team were no longer eligible for the playoffs. With additional support from IT Coalition, DMB Financial and Hot Scream, Grala was able to run the four road-course races on the Xfinity Series schedule, his home-track event at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and the 2018 season finale at Homestead–Miami Speedway.

Grala left FURY for Richard Childress Racing in 2019, and the team ended up not running any Xfinity races that year with another driver. After their one year away from stock car racing, the team returned in 2020, fielding a car in the ARCA Menards Series for the first time. Their entry was fielded in a collaboration with Ken Schrader Racing at Daytona, with one of their late model drivers, Natalie Decker (who also runs part-time in the Truck Series for Niece Motorsports), behind the wheel of Schrader's No. 52 at Daytona.
