The team started out in 1999 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, where Gosselin won the pole. He led 54 laps and won the 63 lap race. The team failed to qualify in its next attempt, at Atlanta Motor Speedway. At the fall Charlotte race, Gosselin started from the pole again but only led four laps and finished third.

The team's only other attempt was at Atlanta where Gosselin started 39th and finished 26th after a crash.

Why this record matters
“Wings Racing” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Wings, Racing and Defunct provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 1, 2023. The linked authority identifier is Q25345013. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1999 and 2000.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
