He made his [[NASCAR]] debut in August 2006, competing in the [[Busch Series]] race at [[Watkins Glen International Raceway]] for [[McGill Motorsports]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.racing-reference.info/driver?id=papisma01|title=Driver Max Papis Career Statistics|website=www.racing-reference.info|access-date=1 September 2020}}</ref> following the release of [[Tim Sauter]] from the ride. He attempted to qualify for the [[NASCAR Cup Series]] race but failed to qualify.

Papis also announced that he would run 2 races in 2007 for James Finch's [[Phoenix Racing (NASCAR team)|Phoenix Racing]] No. 01 Chevy. In his first race, at Montreal in the inaugural NAPA 200, Papis avoided [[Marcos Ambrose]]' crash (caused by a disqualified [[Robby Gordon]]), with 2 laps left, to finish in third place. At Watkins Glen the next week, his engine failed on lap 2.

Papis made his Cup Series debut at [[Infineon Raceway]] in 2008, piloting the No. 66 [[Haas CNC Racing]] Chevrolet in place of regular driver [[Scott Riggs]]. He was also scheduled to drive the No. 64 car for [[Rusty Wallace, Inc.]] on three road course races in the 2008 Nationwide Series. Haas CNC Racing hired Papis to drive the No. 70 Chevrolet Monte Carlo at the course at Watkins Glen in the Sprint Cup Series in August 2008. He was announced as the driver of the No. 13 GEICO Toyota in 18 races in the 2009 and a full-time ride in the 2010 Sprint Cup.

In his first Cup season with a dedicated ride, Papis recorded a career best 8th-place finish at Watkins Glen and 15th starting position at Fontana. He also recorded 12th-place finish at Infineon Raceway. In February at Daytona in 2010, Papis had the fastest truck in the truck series event, nearly winning his first Truck series event after leading for some laps. Papis was collected in an accident with 15 laps left in the race, while going towards the lead.

Also in 2010, Papis recorded a top-30 finish in the [[2010 Daytona 500|Daytona 500]], but failed to qualify at Bristol. He nearly had a top ten running at Talladega but was caught up in an accident. At Montreal in the Nationwide Series, Papis drove for [[Richard Childress Racing]] and while leading on the final lap, took too much of a last-turn curb, got passed by [[Boris Said]], and recorded a second-place finish.

In 2011, Papis raced in the Truck Series partly for Germain, resulting in an 18th-place finish in the standings.

From 2011 to 2013, Papis had good runs on the road-course races but did not win any of them. In 2011 at Road America he had a good car, but he was spun out by [[Jacques Villeneuve]] with two laps left. When the race ended, Papis blocked Villeneuve's car on pit road and they argued.
