McGlynn Racing was aNASCAR racing team. Owned byRaynard McGlynn, they fielded entries in theNextel Cup Series andCraftsman Truck Series before closing down in July 2007.
McGlynn began racing in NASCAR in1998 in the Craftsman Truck Series. Originally, the team made its debut atI-70 Speedway, but failed to qualify. It ran its first race atNazareth Speedway withRyan McGlynn driving. He started 35th in the No. 00Buyer's ChoiceChevrolet Silverado and moved up to 28th. He ran his only other race of the season atNew Hampshire International Speedway. He finished 29th.
In1999, McGlynn moved up to run forRookie of the Year honors. He made a total of thirteen starts, his best finish a 24th atNashville Speedway USA. He finished 28th in the final championship standings. In2000, McGlynn made eighteen starts, the most in the team's history and had three top-twenty finishes. He also finished a career best 25th in the points standings.
McGlynn ran only three races in2001 due to a lack of primary sponsorship. They posted a career-high 11th-place finish atKentucky Speedway. They ran three races the following season as well, McGlynn's best finish a 22nd at New Hampshire. They also attempted their first Cup race with Ryan atMartinsville Speedway in the No. 80 car, but failed to qualify.
In2003, Ryan ran his final set of Craftsman Truck races. He only finished one race that year atLoudon. In2004, he attempted theO'Reilly 200, but failed to qualify. Ryan attempted several races during the 2004 Cup season but failed to qualify. McGlynn Racing made its first Cup start atPocono Raceway withCarl Long, qualifying 38th and finishing 41st in the No. 00Chevrolet Monte Carlo.
In2005, McGlynn bought out Long's No. 46 team and combined it with the No. 00 operation, hiring Long to run a part-time schedule. Long made nine starts with the team, posting two thirty-second-place finishes. In addition to buying additional cars fromPenske Racing andBill Davis Racing, McGlynn began fielding a second car, the No. 08. Ryan failed to qualify atDover International Speedway, but Derrike Cope qualified atMartinsville Speedway, finishing 33rd. Due to pressure from Royal Administration, Long was dropped from McGlynn with Cope taking over the No. 00 full-time. McGlynn failed to make a race for the balance of the season.
For the2006, McGlynn switched to the No. 74 to avoid conflict withMBA Racing. They have run with sponsorship from Sundance Vacations, Royal Administration,MyGuardian911 andVialafil. Cope ran a limited schedule, his best finish a 34th in nine starts. The team also sold their ride toMichael Waltrip at theCoca-Cola 600 after he failed to qualify. Long returned to McGlynn at the 2006Ford 400, driving a second entry for McGlynn, but failed to qualify. The team did not qualify for the 2007Daytona 500, and after being unable to garner additional sponsorship, the team folded.[1]
