Pacific Coast Motorsports is a racing team owned by Tyler Tadevic. It was founded by Tom Figge and has competed in the American Le Mans Series, Champ Car Atlantic Series, and Rolex Grand-Am series. In 2007 it moved to the Champ Car World Series, one of America's premier open-wheel racing divisions, with drivers Alex Figge and Ryan Dalziel. Dalziel was replaced by Mario Dominguez for the final two races of the season. Due to the reunification of Champ Car and the Indy Racing League, PCM initially announced they would not be fielding any cars in the IRL,[1], but later rescinded the decision in another announcement, April 23rd, stating that an IndyCar Series team would begin competition starting with the 2008 Indianapolis 500, with Mario Dominguez as driver.[2][3] It was later revealed that team manager Tyler Tadevic had purchased the team from Figge in order to complete the deal to allow the team to continue operations. Dominguez initially qualified for the 2008 Indy 500, but was "bumped" from the field by a faster car, driven by former race winner Buddy Lazier and Dominguez crashed in a last ditch effort to requalify.
