#28 History In 1994 Robert Yates started a Winston team, fielding the #28 Texaco Havoline Ford driven by Ernie Irvan who just joined RYR. He ran only 21 of 31 races with 5 poles and 3 wins. During the 1995 season Irvan only ran 3 races. Irvan took abscense the rest of the season. Yates hired Dale Jarrett to fill in. Irvan returned in 1996 with new partner Jarrett, Irvan captured 1 pole 2 wins and 10 top 5's. At the end of the 1997 season Irvan decided to leave to drive for Nelson Bowers. Yates found young Kenny Irwin Jr. to replace Irvan. Irwin drove the #28 for RYR during the 1998 and 1999 seasons - winning three poles, and posting four top 5's and 12 top 10's. At the end of the 1999 season Irwin Jr. was replaced by Ricky Rudd, who would drive the famed #28 entry over the next three seasons (2000, 2001, 2002). Rudd scored three wins and four poles during his tenue at RYR. At the end of the 2002 season Rudd left for the Wood Brothers. In 2003 Yates changed the #28 to #38, dropping sponsor Havoline and switching to M&M's, signing 28 year old Elliott Sadler. ROBERT YATES Died in 2017 and was inducted in the Nascar Hall Of Fame.
