However, he did not qualify and has not attempted a race since. Under the old points system, Hearn received points for his effort and ended the year 122nd in points.

LAS VEGAS, Nev., September 14, 2005 – Richie Hearn (Henderson, Nev.) formed Hearn Motorsports in 2004 to create a training ground for aspiring Champ Car and IndyCar Series drivers. A very successful open wheel racer with victories and pole positions at the pinnacle of the sport, Hearn knows the challenges being faced as drivers progress from go-karting to 220 mph machines. In 2006, Hearn will make the next step in his long-term strategy for his program. The Las Vegas-based operation will expand into two additional series for the new season; the Champ Car Atlantic Championship and the Formula BMW USA Series. Hearn will ... maintain his two year-old effort in the Star Mazda Series North American Championship which earned its first Series victory at Mosport International Raceway on September 3rd. The move calls for a substantial expansion of his team and the biggest capital investment made thus far by the organization.
