Midwest Transit Racing is a disbandedNASCAR Winston Cup Series team owned and operated byHal Hicks andMike Witter. It was formed in 1998 as No. 03 withDan Pardus driving andMidwest Transit as the sponsor. Before the car hit the track however, NASCAR changed the car number to 07 for unspecified reasons. The team planned to run as many races as possible, but several starts led to nothing but DNQ's until thePepsi 400, where Pardus finished 36th after a crash. The team tried again in1999, only switching its car number to 50. When Pardus did not qualify for any of his attempts, he was replaced byRicky Craven. At first, the combination seemed to work, but in 2000, the team began to fail to qualify for races again as well as having problems finishing races. After Craven quit the team,Rick Mast drove the car briefly, attempting races on a limited schedule, beforeRich Bickle took over for one race atIndianapolis. After that the team suspended operations and closed down, ending a brief but tumultuous run in NASCAR.
