. After 2004
, Sacks claimed that Raabe "took off" with several cars and the ARC DeHooker sponsorship to field the #73 team. Due to the split with Greg Sacks, the team then purchased cars from McClure Motor Sports leaving Greg Sacks in possession of the cars he failed to qualify with. Since the Raabe Family is actually the owner of ARC DEHOOKER, INC. they had every right to sponsor another team and do whatever was necessary to continue its marketing campaign. The team only ran one race, at Las Vegas Motor Speedway
