In late 2013, Mitchell formed Mason Mitchell Motorsports (MMM), hiring NASCAR crew chief Brad Parrott to serve the same role with Mitchell.^[6] The team began competing full-time in 2014. During the year, he recorded a win at Chicagoland Speedway, along with twelve top-fives, eighteen top-tens, five poles^[7] and an average finish of 5.8.^[8] He claimed the points lead after eight races and held on to win the series championship^[4] with a 255-point margin over runner-up Grant Enfinger.^[9] Mitchell became the first Iowa native to win an ARCA title in forty years, the third-youngest champion in series history^[7] and the third owner/driver to win the championship.^[10] Mitchell also won the Fast Track Award, S&S Volvo Laps Completed, Hoosier Speedway Challenge, R.E. Lightning Challenge and the Menards Pole Award.^[7]

After the 2014 ARCA season had ended, Mitchell made his Camping World Truck Series debut with MMM in the Ford EcoBoost 200 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.^[8] Mitchell, who had to qualify for the race based on his time, made the race with a lap time of 32.588 seconds and speed of 165.705 miles per hour (266.676 km/h), and he started the race in eighteenth.^[11] Mitchell finished the race in sixteenth.^[12]

In 2015, defending ARCA Rookie of the Year Austin Wayne Self^[13] and Ryan London, crew chief of Enfinger,^[14] joined MMM, and Mitchell scaled back his schedule, driving part-time.^[13] During the season, Mitchell drove the No. 78, and scored a hometown victory at Iowa in July.^[15] He also competed for Venturini Motorsports' No. 55 Toyota at Berlin Raceway, finishing second.^[16] Later in the year, the team also fielded the No. 88 for Truck Series driver John Wes Townley at Kansas Speedway.^[17] At the same race, Mitchell recorded his third career win.^[18]

In 2016, MMM driver Gus Dean won his first career ARCA race at Talladega Superspeedway in the No. 98 GREE Cooling Products Chevrolet after beating Josh Williams to the line.^[19] Dean would later compete in select events with MMM before moving to Win-Tron Racing in 2017 with the GREE sponsorship.

The team ceased operations from their Mooresville, North Carolina shop on July 30, 2018 and their assets were purchased by Empire Racing.^[20]
