Precision Products Racing (PPR) was a

ARCA RE/MAX Series

.

Winston Cup

Precision Products Racing was formed by Jackson in

road course races, the #0 driven by Irv Hoerr

, who finished in the top-ten on both occasions.

Labonte departed the team at season's end and was replaced by

Sears Point Raceway, where Hoerr finished 41st following an engine failure. The team would switch to Ford in 1993, with Mast earning five top-ten finishes, his best finish being a 5th at Bristol Motor Speedway. Mast and PPR had a banner year in the 1994 NASCAR Winston Cup Series, finishing in the top-ten a career-high ten times, and finishing 2nd at Rockingham Speedway, losing narrowly to Dale Earnhardt. Mast also won his second career pole at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the inaugural Brickyard 400, the first time stock cars ran at the historic speedway. PPR ended the season 18th in the championship standings. The team only finished in the top-ten 3 times in 1995, earning one pole at Dover Downs International Speedway

and dropping to 21st in points.

In

R+L Carriers joined as permanent primary sponsor for the #1 car. He was replaced by rookie driver and team spotter Jerry Nadeau,^[4]^[5] who ran five races with a best finish of thirtieth before leaving the team. After failing to qualify for the 1997 Brickyard 400 with Mike Wallace, PPR's chassis specialist Lance Hooper^[6]

took over as driver for the next 6 races, failing to qualify at New Hampshire and earning a best finish of 24th twice. Shepherd returned for the last part of the season, missing the field twice and finishing no higher than 12th.

For

NASCAR Busch Grand National Series operation, Jackson only attempted one more Winston Cup race, the Brickyard 400 with Hooper, but again did not qualify. This was Jackson's last involvement with Winston Cup until 2001, when he served as the crew chief for Hooper's #47 J. J. Baker Custom Homes Ford, owned by Dark Horse Motorsports

. The team qualified for one of the four races it attempted over the next two years.

Busch Series

Jackson's first involvement in NASCAR came in the

Asheville Speedway

in her only career start, finishing 17th.

PPR joined the Busch Series on a part-time basis in 1992 ten years later, when it fielded the #0 Skoal Classic/Majik Mart Oldsmobile for Mast, who had two sixth-place finishes and three overall top-tens out of eleven starts. Mast ran five times for PPR's Busch team in 1993, earning a pole and three top-ten finishes. In addition, Tommy Houston made one start for the team at Nazareth Speedway, and Robert Pressley finished the season for Jackson following his release from Alliance Motorsports, finishing in the top-ten twice.

In 1998, Jackson chose to move his team down to the Busch Series permanently after being unable to find regular sponsorship for his Cup team, fielding the #23 World Championship Wrestling Pontiac for Hooper. Running a part-time schedule, Hooper had a 2nd-place qualifying effort at Richmond, but did not finish higher than 18th that year. The team suspended its NASCAR operations after the season.

ARCA

PPR made its debut in the

Du Quoin State Fairgrounds

), but Herb finished well off the lead lap both times, and failed to qualify for his first asphalt attempt at Atlanta.

Jackson and Herb returned to Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) in 2000 on a more regular basis in the #47 car with Invincible Sportswear and WorldBestBuy.com sponsoring. Herb had nine top-twenty finishes, his best overall standing being eleventh on three separate races. PPR's final race came at Daytona in 2001, when Herb crashed after 29 laps and finished 35th.
