Mike McLaughlin Biography

Michael McLaughlin, born October 6, 1956, is an American ex-professional stock car racing driver. McLaughlin, also known as Magic Shoes, was a fan favorite and won the Most Popular Driver award for 1997. McLaughlin also won several races and finished in the top 5 points in points standings for the NASCAR Busch Series.

He also drove in the Busch North Series for Harry and Mike Greci, finishing 3rd on points in 1993. Mike was the first driver to win both ends at New Hampshire Motor Speedway’s Modified/Busch North doubleheader.

After going winless in 1999, McLaughlin shockingly announced he would depart from Cicci-Welliver at the season’s end, citing a need for a change. He and Goulds left for the No. 48 Chevy fielded by Innovative Motorsports in 2000. Unfortunately, the season was a struggle and McLaughlin could not get the cars up to speed. Despite two fifth-place finishes, McLaughlin jumped ship just weeks before the start of the 2001 season to the unsponsored No. 20 owned by Joe Gibbs Racing. McLaughlin shocked the NASCAR world by winning the NASCAR Subway 300 at Talladega, albeit controversially. Despite the win, the team could not continue to run unsponsored, and McLaughlin moved over to the MBNA No. 18 for the remainder of the season. He finished seventh in points.

In 2001, McLaughlin was Tony Stewart’s back-up driver for the Coca-Cola 600. Stewart was running the Indy 500 the same day and McLaughlin was to have started the race if Stewart did not arrive on time. Stewart eventually arrived in Charlotte just minutes before the command to start engines and finished third.

Mike drove the No. 51 Coors Extra Gold Oldsmobile in six races. McLaughlin finished in two top five despite two wrecks and was a big draw for many. McLaughlin ran eight races in the next season but could not replicate his success. McLaughlin drove the No. 34 Fiddle Faddle Chevrolet, Cicci-Welliver Racing. McLaughlin finished 13th in points and posted three top fives, despite not having to race twice. He also ran two Winston Cup races that year for Cicci-Welliver, finishing 22nd in New Hampshire and 27th at Watkins Glen.
