Mirko Racing, which appeared late in 1999 with its Ford Contour SVT, plans a full season of competition with team owner Albert Mirko driving. The team also plans to also field a Mercury Cougar, which recently began construction.

Mirko, a multiple Divisional and Regional champion in SCCA Club Racing, is a veteran of World Challenge and North American Touring Car competition, recording a top-10 finish in the 1995 World Challenge Super Production (Touring) point standings.
