Carl Long has teamed up with the #00 McGlynn Motorsports Nextel Cup Chevrolet crew this weekend at Dover International Speedway and again for the upcoming Pocono Nextel Cup race scheduled for Sunday, June 13, 2004.  Long has nine NASCAR Cup Series, four Busch Series and six NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series career starts to his credit and is one of the most popular independent drivers in NASCAR.

Long has been tabbed by Team Owner Raynard McGlynn to help his team gain valuable experience on and off the track.  McGlynn's long-term strategy is to enter his son Ryan in the July 25, 2004 Loudon Cup race.  Driver Ryan McGlynn has been approved by NASCAR to compete in Nextel Cup tracks up to one-mile until he gains additional Cup experience.  McGlynn competed at the inaugural Daytona truck event and is approved to compete at Superspeedways in all truck competition.

McGlynn Motorsports plans on running at least one truck series event, possibly Kentucky.  McGlynn Motorsports and driver Ryan McGlynn posted their career-best finish in the Kentucky truck race, coming home eleventh (11th) after qualifying twenty-ninth (29th) for the July 14, 2001 event.
