Mike McLaughlin Biography
Mike McLaughlin is one of the most popular and richest Racing Driver who was born on October 6, 1956 in Waterloo, New York, United States. He also drove in the Busch North Series for Harry and Mike Greci, finishing 3rd on points in 1993. Mike was the first driver to win both ends at New Hampshire Motor Speedway’s Modified/Busch North doubleheader.
After going winless in 1999, McLaughlin shockingly announced he would depart from Cicci-Welliver at the season’s end, citing a need for a change. He and Goulds left for the No. 48 Chevy fielded by Innovative Motorsports in 2000. Unfortunately, the season was a struggle and McLaughlin could not get the cars up to speed. Despite two fifth-place finishes, McLaughlin jumped ship just weeks before the start of the 2001 season to the unsponsored No. 20 owned by Joe Gibbs Racing. McLaughlin shocked the NASCAR world by winning the NASCAR Subway 300 at Talladega, albeit controversially. Despite the win, the team could not continue to run unsponsored, and McLaughlin moved over to the MBNA No. 18 for the remainder of the season. He finished seventh in points.
In 2001, McLaughlin was Tony Stewart’s back-up driver for the Coca-Cola 600. Stewart was running the Indy 500 the same day and McLaughlin was to have started the race if Stewart did not arrive on time. Stewart eventually arrived in Charlotte just minutes before the command to start engines and finished third.
Mike drove the No. 51 Coors Extra Gold Oldsmobile in six races. McLaughlin finished in two top five despite two wrecks and was a big draw for many. McLaughlin ran eight races in the next season but could not replicate his success. McLaughlin drove the No. 34 Fiddle Faddle Chevrolet, Cicci-Welliver Racing. McLaughlin finished 13th in points and posted three top fives, despite not having to race twice. He also ran two Winston Cup races that year for Cicci-Welliver, finishing 22nd in New Hampshire and 27th at Watkins Glen.
Then he was promoted to the NASCAR Modified ranks at Sherwood Racing, which is owned by Bill Corazzo. It is run by Clyde McLeod. He was accompanied by Corazzo’s nephew Greg Zipadelli as crew chief. Greg would also win Sprint Cup titles. Greg’s younger brother Scott Zipadelli is now a top-ranking NASCAR crew chief. Mike won the 1988 Winston Modified Tour championship, now called the Whelen Modified Tour. He has 16 career victories in modified series.
In 1995, McLaughlin got his first taste of Victory Lane, winning the GM Goodwrench/Delco 200 at Dover, and collected 13 additional top-tens on his way to a third place points run. After a winless 1996, McLaughlin won twice in 1997 (including at his hometrack at Watkins Glen) and was named the series’ Most Popular Driver. 1998 saw him add Goulds Pumps as his primary sponsor, and he won two more races, and matched his career-best finish of third in points.

In 2002, McLaughlin went winless once again, but was able to muster a fourth-place finish in points. However, Gibbs wanted to move his son Coy into the No. 18, and McLaughlin was forced to find a new job. In October 2002, McLaughlin announced he would run with a new team, Angela’s Motorsports in the 2003 season. The team showed up at that season’s Speedweeks, and their Ford Taurus was the fastest in testing. After that, problems began arising, and weeks before the season started, Angela’s Motorsports closed its doors. It turned out that the team’s owners had been behind in paying their bills, and their debtors took over the operation and shut everything down. McLaughlin appeared to be out of a job, but after word leaked out, fans began donating money to allow McLaughlin to run the Daytona race, and with sponsorship from XM Radio and with Darrell Waltrip’s DWStore.com, McLaughlin drove the No. 39 Jay Robinson Racing Ford at the season-opening event, qualifying 4th but finishing 29th after a wreck in the closing laps. The financial windfall could not get McLaughlin a full-time ride, although he returned to Cicci Racing to run seven races, posting one top-ten finish. McLaughlin went unemployed in 2004 until the end of the season, when he replaced Bobby Hamilton, Jr. at Team Rensi Motorsports after Hamilton left to join Nextel Cup team PPI Racing, posting a second-place run at the Stacker 200 Presented by YJ Stinger.
