McCormack Motorsports

McCormack Motorsportsis a formerIndy Racing Leagueteam owned by Dennis McCormack that operated from 1996 to 2001. Based inAvon, Indiana,the team debuted at the1996 Indianapolis 500with a car forRandy Tolsma,however, it failed to make the field. For the1996–1997 season,the team used 3 different drivers.Raul Boeseldrove the entire1998 seasonfor the team and finished 20th in points with a best finish of 8th.1999was another season of instability as the team saw 4 different drivers start a race for them and one other driver,Nick Firestone,fail to get his McCormack entry into the Indy 500.2000again saw 3 different drivers drive for the team and relative instability and lack of funding, along with two of its cars, this time driven byRonnie JohncoxandRobby Unseragain fail to qualify for the Indy 500. This was largely due to a disastrous experiment with using the uncommonRiley & Scottchassis. The team also formed an alliance with the Byrd brothers of Byrd Motorsports and fielded the #30 car for a revolving door of drivers including Johncox,Jon Herb,andJ. J. Yeley.2001was the team's final season. The team shut down after its car driven byBrandon Erwinfailed to qualify for the Indy 500 and then the next week at theCasino Magic 500,where they were woefully off the pace. The team's best finish was a 5th place by Boesel at the 1999Indy 200atWalt Disney World Speedway.
