Dale Coyne Racing has been a long standing staple in racing since 1984. Current No. 19 car driver Alex Lloyd, who finished fourth in the 2010 Indianapolis 500 for Dale Coyne Racing, is the only current driver to win on the oval and road course at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

"We are proud to align ourselves with the bowling industry and GoBowling.com – a great brand that is the online hub for bowling fans and enthusiasts worldwide.  Partnering with the bowling industry itself provides a powerful opportunity to showcase our own brand before the nearly 69 million people who bowl each year across virtually every market in the nation," said team owner Dale Coyne.

The Milwaukee Mile is recognized as the oldest, premier auto racing venue in America. Eight years before the first Indianapolis 500, motorized racing events were taking place on the Milwaukee Mile, making The Mile the oldest, continually operating motor speedway in the country.
