Cheever Racing

The team won the 1998 Indianapolis 500 with Cheever driving and then switched to Infiniti engines and gained sponsorship from Excite for 2000.

The team continued to be moderately successful and gained Infiniti's first series win.

Despite some of the most talented drivers in the league, a long string of bad luck and underpowered engines rendered the team little more than mid-pack.

With no sponsor for the 2006 season, Eddie decided to trim the team to a single car and return to the cockpit as both a cost-cutting move and to seize the opportunity to return to racing before he felt he got too old to be competitive.

The IRL operation shut down after the Kansas Speedway race when it could not find a sponsor or pay driver to continue.
