View source for McCormack Motorsports

'''McCormack Motorsports''' is a former [[IndyCar|Indy Racing League]] team owned by Dennis McCormack that operated from 1996 to 2001. Based in [[Avon, Indiana]], the team debuted at the [[1996 Indianapolis 500|1996]] [[Indianapolis 500]] with a car for [[Randy Tolsma]], however, it failed to make the field. For the [[1996–1997 Indy Racing League season|1996–1997 season]], the team used 3 different drivers. [[Raul Boesel]] drove the entire [[1998 Indy Racing League season|1998 season]] for the team and finished 20th in points with a best finish of 8th. [[1999 Indy Racing League season|1999]] was 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.  [[2000 Indy Racing League season|2000]] again saw 3 different drivers drive for the team and relative instability and lack of funding, along with two of its cars, this time driven by [[Ronnie Johncox]] and [[Robby Unser]] again fail to qualify for the Indy 500. This was largely due to a disastrous experiment with using the uncommon [[Riley & Scott]] chassis. 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]], and [[J. J. Yeley]].  [[2001 Indy Racing League season|2001]] was the team's final season. The team shut down after its car driven by [[Brandon Erwin]] failed to qualify for the Indy 500 and then the next week at the [[Firestone 550|Casino Magic 500]], where they were woefully off the pace. The team's best finish was a 5th place by Boesel at the 1999 [[Walt Disney World Speedway#Indy Racing League|Indy 200]] at [[Walt Disney World Speedway]].
