TEAM BIO
RuSPORT Racing has rejoined Champ Car after having a difficult time finding sponsorship the past few years. After finishing the 2006 season with limited funding, the team took a two year break for 07 & 08. In 2009 the team returned to Champ Car racing with a one car effort for driver Matt Halliday. The team was built from its Atlantic Series roots and soon became one of the surprising success stories. In 2006 they ran drivers AJ Allmendinger and Justin Wilson. The team won in Portland that year and was a success up until lack of funding caused the team some problems running.
The team originally began as an Atlantic operation and won the 2003 Atlantic series championship with driver AJ Allmendinger. The team then stepped up to Champ Car for the first time in 2004 as a one car team with AJ Allmendinger behind the wheel and expanded to two cars in 2005 when they added driver Justin Wilson.
