Accelerator Motorsports is a motorsports team currently competing in the FARC Lowe Dollar Series.

The team originated in 2012 as an ASCC operation with two cars, driven by owner Calvin Hobbes and A.J. Murphy. After skipping the 2013 season, the team was purchased by Terra International Motorsports to become their dedicated FARC team. Power Steering, Inc. reserve driver Zack Webster drove TIM's flagship #41, with Megan Driver and Kelly Splison signed to drive the part-time #40 and #96. Webster struggled for most of the season with accidents and mechanical failures, but managed to score one win at Salem Speedway. Driver scored her first career win at Columbia Speedway, but her racing career was ended in one of the several major accidents at the New York Autoring. TIM TM Lights driver Jack Dempsey filled in for Driver for her remaining races, and scored two wins at Road America and Texas Motor Speedway. Splison also scored her second career win at Talladega. Additionally, the team competed in the National Racing Championship with longtime TIM drivers Dan Foray and Sarah Xavier.

Webster returned to contest the full schedule in 2015, finishing fifth in the championship but coming short of victory lane; the #40 and #96 were not entered in any races, as Dempsey focused on his TM Lights campaign, while Splison moved to Gameline Racing in the Super Series, replacing the injured Tristan Bayne.

Splison and the 96 returned in 2016, along with rookie Kira Smith in a #89 entry sponsored by Cluckin' Bell. While Smith did not make much of an impression during her 10-race run, Splison came home twelth in the standings in her first ever full season in FARC, while a snakebit Webster finished 19th.

At last, in 2017 Webster broke through with his first victory since 2014 at Louisville.
