Pacific Coast Motorsports had planned to be on the starting grid for this weekend's IRL season opening race at Homestead in Miami.

However, just like several other former Champ Car teams, it appears they were not able to find the necessary sponsorship to move forward at this time.
The team is still planning to run a junior team in the 2008 Atlantic Series with Carl Skerlong and Frankie Muniz.

Ryan Dalziel, who last year drove for Pacific Coast Motorsports in the Champ Car series, has announced that he has switched to the Grand-Am Rolex Cup for 2008.

Dalziel will drive the SAMAX Motorsport BMW-Riley Daytona Prototype alongside Orlando's Henri Zogaib.
