Yates Racing was an American

Robert's retirement on December 1, 2007. The Yates family owned the team since purchasing it from Harry Ranier and J. T. Lundy in October 1988.[2]

The team was noted for its strong engine program and its success on superspeedways. Throughout most of its history, the team fielded Ford cars numbered 28, 38 and 88, although in its final season it fielded the number 98.

Car No. 28 history

Davey Allison (1989–1993)

After purchasing the assets of Ranier-Lundy Racing in October 1988, Robert Yates' first driver was

Ranier-Lundy banner since 1987 (his rookie season), and drove the No. 28 Havoline Ford
from Yates' takeover of the team until mid-1993, racking up 15 wins and twice finishing 3rd in points. He was tragically killed in a helicopter crash at Talladega Superspeedway in July 1993.

After Allison's death,

Morgan-McClure Motorsports
to become Allison's permanent replacement. Irvan took over on Labor Day weekend at Darlington, winning at Charlotte and Martinsville before the season concluded.

In 1994, tragedy again struck the No. 28 team. After winning three races, Irvan crashed heavily in a practice session at Michigan and suffered life-threatening injuries. He would not race again in 1994 and it was uncertain whether he would ever return to racing. In the meantime, Kenny Wallace was brought in to take over the Havoline Ford for the remainder of the 1994 season.

Dale Jarrett (1995)

Needing a full-time driver for the 1995 season due to the uncertainty surrounding Irvan's recovery, Yates signed

Pocono Raceway
and eventually finished the season 13th in the points standings. Irvan would eventually return for three races driving a second car numbered 88 for Yates.

Irvan returned to the #28 in 1996 and won at New Hampshire. Irvan won at Michigan in June 1997, the same track he almost died on three years earlier. Irvan left at the end of the 1997 season to drive for MB2 Motorsports.

Kenny Irwin Jr. (1998–1999)

Kenny Irwin Jr. drove the No. 28 car for Robert Yates in 1998 and 1999. Despite winning Rookie of the Year honors in 1998, Irwin failed to find victory lane in his two seasons.

Ricky Rudd (2000–2002)

Robert Yates would resurrect the 28 for the 2008 season, however.

Aaron's 499, he finished 6th with a one race sponsorship deal from Northern Tool and Equipment, which gave him his career best finish in the Cup Series. Just a few weeks after his career best run, Kvapil picked up another Top 10 finish, this time at Darlington Raceway
, during the Dodge Challenger 500. Despite the lack of a full-time sponsorship, Travis Kvapil and the No. 28 had a very respectable season, finishing 23rd in the points standings and a pole at Talladega in October.

For 2009, Kvapil's owner points from 2008 were transferred to the No. 98, given that

Farmers Insurance. Unfortunately, the team still lacked a committed full-time sponsor,[5] and Yates shut down the No. 28 following the Food City 500.[6]

The No. 88 driven by Dale Jarrett in 2005
Yates Racing garage in Mooresville, North Carolina.
The No. 88 driven by Ricky Rudd in 2007
Ernie Irvan (1995)

The No. 88 team began racing for RYR in 1995 with Havoline as the primary sponsor, as Ernie Irvan drove the car in three races following his comeback from injuries.

Dale Jarrett (1996–2006)

Irvan returned to the No. 28 the following year, and Dale Jarrett began driving the No. 88 in 1996 with sponsorship from Ford Quality Care and Ford Credit. Jarrett won the 1996 Daytona 500 in his first race in the No. 88, defeating Dale Earnhardt for the second time in four years. Jarrett went on to win the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte in May, the Brickyard 400, and Michigan in August. Jarrett finished 3rd in the Winston Cup point standings behind Hendrick Motorsports teammates Terry Labonte (the Champion) and Jeff Gordon. In 1997 Jarrett won at Atlanta and Darlington in March, Pocono in July, Bristol in August, Charlotte in October, and Phoenix in November.
