McGlynn Racing was a NASCAR racing team. Owned by Raynard McGlynn, they fielded entries in the Nextel Cup Series and Craftsman Truck Series before closing down in July 2007.
McGlynn began racing in NASCAR in 1998 in the Craftsman Truck Series. Originally, the team made its debut at I-70 Speedway, but failed to qualify. It ran its first race at Nazareth Speedway with Ryan McGlynn driving. He started 35th in the No. 00 Buyer's Choice Chevrolet Silverado and moved up to 28th. He ran his only other race of the season at New Hampshire International Speedway. He finished 29th.
In 1999, McGlynn moved up to run for Rookie of the Year honors. He made a total of thirteen starts, his best finish a 24th at Nashville Speedway USA. He finished 28th in the final championship standings. In 2000, McGlynn made eighteen starts, the most in the team's history and had three top-twenty finishes. He also finished a career best 25th in the points standings.
McGlynn ran only three races in 2001 due to a lack of primary sponsorship. They posted a career-high 11th-place finish at Kentucky Speedway. They ran three races the following season as well, McGlynn's best finish a 22nd at New Hampshire. They also attempted their first Cup race with Ryan at Martinsville Speedway in the No. 80 car, but failed to qualify.
