Mittler was essentially the Junie Donlavey of the Truck Series as his truck served as the launching pad for many successful NASCAR driving careers.

Over the years Mittler fielded trucks for Carl Edwards, Jamie McMurray, Kenny Irwin Jr., Justin Allgaier and Brad Keselowski.

Mittler’s trucks started 301 times in the NGOTS, and although a MB Motorsports truck never visited victory lane, Bobby Pierce scored a runner-up finish for the team at Eldora in 2015 after starting from the pole.
