McGlynn began racing in NASCAR in 1998 in the Craftsman Truck Series.

It ran its first race at Nazareth Speedway with Ryan McGlynn driving.

He made a total of thirteen starts, his best finish a 24th at Nashville Speedway USA.

In 2000, McGlynn made eighteen starts, the most in the team's history and had three top-twenty finishes.

In 2003, Ryan ran his final set of Craftsman Truck races.

McGlynn Racing made its first Cup start at Pocono Raceway with Carl Long, qualifying 38th and finishing 41st in the No.

Due to pressure from Royal Administration, Long was dropped from McGlynn with Cope taking over the No.

The team also sold their ride to Michael Waltrip at the Coca-Cola 600 after he failed to qualify.
