Here at MC Motorsports we are happy to announce an expansion for our new All-Star car program. We will be introducing a new Next Gen Ford Mustang and Toyota Camry to our team lineup funded by Brady Mueller: Life My Way, joinging our #80 Chevrolet Camro ZL1. The Ford will utilize the number 81, and the Toyota will be number 82.

This news comes after January 1st's press release introducing our All-Star car. Originally we were just going to keep our 80 car. But we thought, why should we limit our All-Star car only to owners of the Next Gen Chevrolet? With this we decided to add the other manufacturers: Ford and Toyota. Again the All-Star car will only have a chance to run for Next Gen races in both ASPHALT MEDIA and NR Night in America. There are no plans, and nor do we want to, expand to other cars in iRacing.

With 3 All-Star variants all with different numbers, we can field more than 1 All-Star car in a race, meaning we could field up to 5 cars in one Next Gen race. But the demand has to be there for racers. So far the only All-Star attempt this year was Justin Connor for the first NR Night in America race of 2025. The car had numerous problems with pedals, steering, and transmission, which resulted in Connor having to start last in his duel. He crashed and couldn't advance to the feature. We hope that our new cars won't have any basic problems.

The potential MC Motorsports Race Lineups consists now of:

#80 Brady Mueller: Life My Way Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
#81 Brady Mueller: Life My Way Ford Mustang
#82 Brady Mueller: Life My Way Toyota Camry
#83 Brad Cmejla
#88 Marty Cmejla

For the future of our All-Star lineup, we have had talks with Patrick Connell to return to the team. He recently bought the Chevrolet Next Gen and was interested in doing some events. Sources indicate that Patrick Connell is about to sign a contract to race for Rodriguez-Gutierrez Racing. For any Next Gen races before that he may run some All-Star races in our #80 car.

We have also had talks with Cameron Face, who has a great ASPHALT MEDIA statistic record and definitely can wheel a virtual racecar. He owns all 3 Next Gen cars so he can run anything.

Finally in conversations is Zayden Cortinas. The former MC Motorsports driver of the #86 Ford for the team (the only driver to drive a Ford full-time at MCM), searches for a part-time return to the team. Zayden Cortinas is slated to run the #81 in a majority of Next Gen events. He is who you will probably see for the most part in the #81.

It is super exciting to be expanding to more cars without doing it for each race. Adding full time spots for all cars in iRacing was tough and brought a lot on the team. A part-time program is just what works best. We look forward to seeing what our All-Star Program can do in 2025!
