That was 1999; the car was a third entry from Forsythe Racing. Kanaan won the 1999 U.S. 500 in that car.

It was basically the old Tasman racing team, bought out and ran as a seperate operationg within the Forsythe umbrella. The team ran (largely unsponsored) as Forsythe Championship Racing in 2001, with Bryan Herta at the wheel - he also did a one-off for them at Laguna Seca in 2000.
