The Mecom Racing Team was led by John Mecom Jr. and was active between 1960 and 1967 in the World Sportscar Championship racing, Formula One, and American Championship Car Racing scenes. The Mecom Racing Team and later the Mecom Group were led by John Mecom Jr.

John Mecom Jr. was known to have as many as seven different marques not only at the same event but in the same race. In the early 1960s the Mecom Racing Team had great success in the Bahamas Speed Weeks. Roger Penske, driving for Mecom in the early years, won in the Bahamas as well as the 12 Hours of Sebring in a Ferrari GTO with Augie Pabst. The Grand Sport Corvettes were also campaigned by Mecom with tremendous results.

For the US GP at Watkins Glen in 1962, John Mecon entered Rob Schroeder in a Lotus 24. Rob started 17th and finished 10th.

The Mecom Group managed ex-Moto GP Champion Kevin Schwantz from bikes and into cars and team ownership. In 1966 Graham Hill won the Indianapolis 500 while driving for John Mecom Jr. and the Mecom Team in their Lola-Ford. The team also fielded a car for George Follmer in the 1966 Can-Am season.
