[2] In the latter year, Vince Granatelli served as the crew chief for teammate Graham McRae's car.

[4] The team would make their debut in 1987 with Roberto Guerrero, who had previously driven for Cotter, serving as the driver.

[7] At the Indianapolis 500, Guerrero entered as a favorite alongside, Mario Andretti and Bobby Rahal.

The wheel ended up landing in the top row of the grandstands in the south chute (between turns 3 and 4) and hit spectator Lyle Kurtenbach, who was killed instantly.

Al Unser, whom Guerrero lost the Indianapolis 500 to, drove for the team at the Bosch Spark Plug Grand Prix at Pennsylvania International Raceway.

[14] Raul Boesel then drove the final two races of the season and got a best finish of 6th at the season-ending Nissan Indy Challenge at Tamiami Park.

[15] Additionally, Boesel qualified on the pole position at the exhibition race Marlboro Challenge at the same track and ultimately finished 3rd.

In his first CART race back since he was injured, Guerrero started and finished 2nd at the Checker 200 at Phoenix International Raceway.

[20] At the Indianapolis 500, the team entered a second car for Gordon Johncock, the #60 STP/Diamond Head Ranch March 87C-Cosworth DFX.

As a result, they wanted Guerrero and his family to undergo a Scientology ritual to remove this issue.

Al Unser returned to the team as a replacement for Guerrero when he was benched for the Molson Indy Toronto at Exhibition Place, finishing 9th in a Lola and the Marlboro Grand Prix at the Meadowlands at Meadowlands Sports Complex, finishing 19th in a March.

Sneva would crash in practice for the season-opening Checker Autoworks 200 at Phoenix International Raceway and would fail to qualify as a result.

[33] Andretti was then brought back to the team to replace Sneva and bring alternate input on the car for races that did not conflict with his IMSA FT Championship commitments.

[40] In 1990, Theys returned to drive the #9 Tuneup Masters Lola T88/00-Buick 3300 V6 for the team in a part-time season.

[46] Granatelli would admit that in regards to the season and the team's recent fortunes, "It was no fun to be running for 10th place every race, with no hope of finishing much higher.

"[47] Prior to the 1991 season, Granatelli merged his team with Doug Shierson Racing, which Bob Tezak, founder of International Games, had recently purchased.

Arie Luyendyk, who had been driving for Shierson, drove for the team in the #9 Uno Lola T91/00-Chevrolet Indy V8 265A.

At the season-opening Gold Coast IndyCar Grand Prix at the Surfers Paradise Street Circuit, Luyendyk started 8th and finished 9th, one lap down.

[57] Then during the weekend of the Marlboro Grand Prix Meadowlands at Meadowlands Sports Complex, where Luyendyk finished 18th due to gearbox issues,[58] Granatelli announced that the team may not compete past the Marlboro 500 at Michigan International Speedway due to sponsorship issues,[59] despite Luyendyk being ranked 6th in points at the time.

[58] At Michigan, Tezak tried to prevent the team from competing, as they had removed the Uno sponsorship by this point.

[62] Luyendyk would manage to win the Bosch Spark Plugs Grand Prix at Pennsylvania International Raceway.
