In 2003, McCormick ran eight races and finished 24^th in the season ending point’s championship.  The 2003 season witnessed five top twenty finishes including a career best finish of 12^th at the Giant 200 at Pocono Raceway.  Carl drove a 2003 Ford Taurus owned by NASCAR legend James Hylton during the race.  Carl also recorded a 14^th place finish at Chicagoland Speedway in the ReadyHosting.com 200.  In 2004, Carl again drove the Hylton Motorsport’s Ford and recorded two top 20 finishes at Kentucky Speedway and Salem Speedway.
