Mack was the second [[African-American]] after [[Willy T. Ribbs]] to drive in the [[Indianapolis 500]] when he did so in 2002 and finished 17th. He contested the rest IRL season for [[310 Motoring|310 Racing]] and finished 16th in series points with a best finish of 13th. After being unable to find a ride in open wheel cars after 310 Racing folded, he shifted his focus to NASCAR and was named the 3rd driver of the [[Curry Racing]] entry in the Truck Series in early 2006, possibly as a part of the [[Drive for Diversity]] program. However, Mack denied association with Curry Racing stating that he was not contracted and/or scheduled to drive for Curry Racing.
