Rocketsports was founded in 1985 by racing driver Paul Gentilozzi to compete in the Trans-Am series.
Rocketsports joined Champ Car in 2003 with driver Alex Tagliani, who scored the team's only victory at Road America in 2004.
In 2007, Tagliani returned full-time and the team shared technical information with RuSPORT.
In 2008, following the unification of Champ Car and the IRL, Rocketsports announced that it would not transition to the IndyCar Series.
[1] Since the demise of Champ Car, Rocketsports has competed in the revived Trans-Am Series with driver Tomy Drissi, winning the 2009 championship.
