They have competed at numerous levels of the Road to Indy.[2][3] In April 2024, at Barber Motorsports Park, the team recorded its first victory in the Indy NXT series.[4]
After competing in the 2023 Indianapolis 500, the team announced an attempt to make the race in 2024.[5][6][7] In early May, 2024, the team announced they had withdrawn their entry in the race, after driver R. C. Enerson failed to locate funding for the effort.[8]
