The Delta/Realtrac boat originally was born in 1992 as the Coor's Dry two-wing boat, and was campaigned through the mid-90s as the Circus Circus, Exide, and a variety of other sponsors. Converted to a conventional hull, the boat saw success as part of the Jones Racing team in the early 2000s. The boat underwent a large rebuild in the early 2010s, enlisting the assistance of the Campbell brothers to increase the competitiveness of the team.
In 2016, Andrew Tate was the driver as the team finished third in high points, winning once in Seattle. 2017 brought two victories in Detroit and San Diego, as the team finished second in high points. 2018 was the team's breakthrough, winning five of the six races and collecting their first national championship. 2019 did not bring the same success, as the team finished fourth in national points and no victories.
