He would be the crew chief for several racers in the Juniors Series for the next several years. By 2003, Startman was doing Piston Cup Crew Chief duties again. He signed with Rust-Eze, to be the crew chief of Bertie Fast. However he struggled immensely throughout 2003 and 2004 due to his age, and his stint with Bertie Fast ended at the 2004 Dinoco 400 as he retired.

Startman then started to work with Lightining McQueen the following year. But only a few weeks into the season, rumors started going around that Startman and McQueen were not fond of working with each other, and that was then proven true at the 2005 Rev N Go 350 when McQueen failed to finish the race due to getting involved in the big one on lap 142 in a 12 car crash. the following day, Startman was fired from Rust-Eze by McQueen. Startman told RSN later in the week after his employment was terminated at Rust-Eze, "I'm glad to be no longer working with that selfish McQueen. He better improve on his attitude. He's twenty-seven and acts like he is 19."

Startman then became the competition director for Sidewall Shine Racing the following year in 2006.
