ISM Racing

The team fielded entries in the Indy Racing League and the NASCAR Winston Cup Series.

The team attempted the UAW-GM Quality 500 at Charlotte and the season finale at Atlanta, finishing 26th in the former and failing to qualify in the latter.

The team followed this up with an unexpected front row start at Atlanta, and recorded its first top ten when Bodine finished tenth.

Bodine then ran 39th at Martinsville before missing the race at California Speedway with an injury suffered in a practice crash.

Despite the #35's struggles, McIlhenny was not initially upset with the results as they had been largely focused on using their sponsorship as a giant marketing tool.
