Newman and Wachs met when they both competed in Can-Am series in the mid-1970s and over the years talked about joining forces to create a driver development race team.
They formed a Champ Car Atlantic team for the 2006 season to meet their objectives.
In 2009, John Edwards won the Atlantic Championship, beating teammate Jonathan Summerton in a tiebreaker.
For 2010, the team entered a SpeedSource-prepared Mazda RX-8 in the Rolex Sports Car Series GT class for Edwards and Adam Christodoulou.
