In 2005, McGlynn bought out Long's No. 46 team and combined it with the No. 00 operation, hiring Long to run a part-time schedule. Long made nine starts with the team, posting two thirty-second-place finishes. In addition to buying additional cars from Penske Racing and Bill Davis Racing, McGlynn began fielding a second car, the No. 08. Ryan failed to qualify at Dover International Speedway, but Derrike Cope qualified at Martinsville Speedway, finishing 33rd. Due to pressure from Royal Administration, Long was dropped from McGlynn with Cope taking over the No. 00 full-time. McGlynn failed to make a race for the balance of the season.
For the 2006, McGlynn switched to the No. 74 to avoid conflict with MBA Racing. They have run with sponsorship from Sundance Vacations, Royal Administration, MyGuardian911 and Vialafil. Cope ran a limited schedule, his best finish a 34th in nine starts. The team also sold their ride to Michael Waltrip at the Coca-Cola 600 after he failed to qualify. Long returned to McGlynn at the 2006 Ford 400, driving a second entry for McGlynn, but failed to qualify. The team did not qualify for the 2007 Daytona 500, and after being unable to garner additional sponsorship, the team folded.[1]
