Same can be said for Ernie. The 28 almost had a curse. Davey died in a helicopter crash while at his prime, Ernie suffered career altering injuries (no doubt he would have won a championship in the 28, much as Davey would have), then Kenny Irwin took over and he died in a racing accident the year after he left the team. Only driver for RYR in the 28 that didn't suffer bad fate was Ricky Rudd.

The white havalin car was Yates best paint scheme

As a Dale Earnhardt fan. I wasn't fond of the blue ovals. But I couldn't ever find a reason to despise Robert Yates or his race team. Robert is a giant in NASCAR. Honestly an underrated legend.

R.I.P Robert Yates

Robert Yates Racing was right next door to my shop, (Smitty's Motorsports) We done a lot of work for the Yates team. One item was the UPS pit cart, that thing had more doors, drawers,, slide outs, pull ups, TV'S, computer plat forms and when it was opened up it looked like a big brown HOTEL, LOL.

I watched Davey Allison win the 92 Daytona 500 from the infield. I was always an Earnhardt fan, but was pretty upset when Davey died in that helicopter crash. I saw him win, and that made him a favorite of mine.

Davey Allison had the best looking cars of any of the Yates ever.

That was a fantastic win, and really there were so many memories from the 88 RYR time. UPS commercials, Daytona 500 wins and poles, Rockingham duel with Kurt Busch, fuel mileage win at the Pepsi 400 over Big E, the Bud Shootout win over Little E, spin and win at Michigan, Dale and Ricky Rudd challenging Gordon in 2001, etc.

He said "Of course." and my sister and I got a picture. Still have it somewhere on our old computer. The dude's way taller than he looks on TV, I think he's 6'2" or 6'3"

Being a Davey Allison fan from the beginning, I think the pairing with Yates was a pairing that had a winning combo as RCR and Dale Earnhardt Sr had. With Yates power and Davey's talent they had wins and championship's in their future for many years, remember Davey learned from a couple of the best being his dad and uncle Bobby and Donnie Allison. Long live the Alabama Gang, what a great part of Nascar's History and the marks they made during their careers. There's no telling how many championships Yates Racing and Davey Allison could have won, Yates engine's will be in Nascar for a long time to come.

I was DIEHARD RYR!!!! Davey is my hero. I followed DJ from the start at RYR till the end. I also was and still am a DIEHARD 28 fan. I havent had a dog in the hunt in Nascar since Ricky retired. Just cant seem to get behind anyone anymore. I dont mind Harvick since he in a FORD now but just doesnt do it for me. I really miss Robert Yate Racing!!! Is my all time favorite organization. :( Sad that things cant stay the same. Really miss those days.

For my dad, it was Davey Allison, Robert Yates, and Ford. He was a ford man and love the Allisons. In '92 the ford Tbirds put a stranglehold in the beginning. That year we went to our 1st nascar Winston Cup race at Michigan International Speedway. Result: Davey Allison dominated the show on that Father's day. It was the perfect day for him in pretty much what would be one of the most incredible racing seasons ever by years end. Even though my driver finished 9th (1 lap down) I was happy for him. Didnt realize how many fans hated Davey till that day. Also, it was the first and last time I saw Davey Allison, Alan Kuwicki, and Richard Petty all on the same race track together.

Before Earnhardt dominated 'Dega, Davey was doing it for the Bama boys since his family are from Hueytown. So it meant alot for him to win on his home turf. But then he also comes to the Charlotte crowd and ends up winning also in 'Earnhardt' country...basically he was Jeff Gordon before Jeff Gordon showed up and if you know about the history between the gordon fans and earnhardt fans....it was like water and oil..ha!

There MAY be another team that went through as much as Robert Yates Racing did from 1992 through 1995, but NO team ever went through more. 1992 ... Davey won the Daytona 500, then was hurt in accidents at Bristol and in The Winston BEFORE turning over so violently at Pocono. Clifford died ... and then came the disappointment of losing out on the championship. 1993 ... that tragedy speaks for itself, and in 1994, the team very nearly lost Ernie Irvan. Incredible.

Earnhardt was incredibly consistent that year but Ernie was trading the points lead back and forth with him all ready. They had the car, the driver, and the team to be a champion.

Should of mentioned the reason for Ernie Irvan leaving RYR after the 1997 season was because of a fight he had in April during Easter with a Patron and in May he showed up late to a sponsor appreciation event and Robert Yates had enough of it and announced Ernie was out of the ride and it wasn't even halfway through the 1997 season.

Well this video says it all about RYR! In the late 80's before restrictor place race Yates built wicked motors for the 2.5 and over mile tracks. They finally won a championship in 99 after having good seasons combined with a lot tragic situations with some of their great drivers. At least the legacy still lives on in Roush/Yates engines!

Loved RYR, big fan, great rundown of the highs and lows of the proud race team

The comments are a year old, but I did some reading, an old magazine article from the late 80's. Davey Allison said he really had to convince Yates to become a team owner. Robert was happy with his engine business, and was against the idea of ownership. Davey finally convinced Robert , and the rest is history. For a little history Robert Yates built the engine for Petty's 200th win. Said he never got paid for it, but figured, it didn't matter.

Robert Yates Racing had such a history of bare minimum championship contenders. A lot of people forget Elliott Sadler made the Chase in 2004.

The biggest mistake Yates made was giving all his secrets to Roush for free, it helped Roush a ton but did nothing to help Yates. The situation of this team was completely hopeless by the end of 2006. The team was still fairly competitive until the end, and remained a pole threat on the superspeedways all the way to the end. But at the end of 2006 when Mars said they’d be leaving after one more season, spending their 2008 dollars on Rudd in 07, while both Robert Yates and driver Rudd were also confirmed to be retiring after 2007, the future lineup for 2008 appeared to be Stephen Leicht and David Gilliland with no primary sponsors… now they ended up making it work for another year in 2008 thanks to Roush giving Travis Kvapil and all the sponsors from his Roush Truck ride to Yates, along with Yates bringing up Citi from the Busch car and signing FreeCreditReport (they had the best commercials ever), but there was no way it was going to be sustainable. By the beginning of 2009, the writing was truly one the wall. One of the saddest sights in nascar was watching that blank 28 car running around in early 2009 with big letters in impact font (yes the meme font) reading “sponsoryates.com”.

I was never a Ford fan, but i made an exception with drivers Yates Dale Jarrett and Elliot Sadler. Two likeable guys. Such as sad story no matter if your a fan or not.

Two huge issues hurt this team. One was Davey’s death. The other was Yates splitting up Todd Parrott and Jarrett to push Elliott Sadler. They never recovered from this move and when Parrott and Jarrett implored Yates to reunite them saying they would win one of the last 10 races of the season. In fact, it only took 2!! But again the next season Parrott was assigned to Sadler. I never understood this. But great video!!!

Nascar itself is part of the reason Robert Yates Racing started going downhill . Yates and Elliot had the fastest Fords on the track . Everyone else started calling foul because nobody else could keep up . So Nascar made them start sharing ideas which was a one way street . No one else could give anything to the 2 best brains out there .

My fav driver is David Gilliland, love hearing him get some recognition

Suggestions Petty Enterprises AK Racing Darrell Waltip Motorsports

It was Robert Yates Racing until Doug took over and renamed the team Yates Racing. They had a rough go when they lost the major sponsors and decided to replace Sadler with Gilliland. I kind of saw that as their decline plus Penske and Roush seemed to demand more factory attention from Ford which hurt. Thanks for covering it, they are definitely a big part of that 90's-00's history

Rise and Fall: Roush Fenway Racing? They used to be a 5-team powerhouse, with Truck and Xfinity (then Busch) teams...but now they're just the 6 and 17 in Cup. They once had 4 Busch/Nationwide teams as well (6, 16, 17, and 60) with at least the 99 in Trucks.

You should do a rise and fall about Bud Moore's team

such a good racing team

What killed RYR was that they were too slow to adapt to the changes in NASCAR during the early 2000’s. They were one of the last teams to move to building in house race cars and they struggled to keep up with the new aerodynamic technology that was coming out. I remember DJ commenting on their struggles and saying that if he hadn’t watched the pit crew change the wedge or track bar he would’ve called them liars because the cars wouldn’t respond. Crying shame.

2001 Was The End for Dale Jarrett when 2 injuries Ruined Him

great vid ryr fan here thank you

Suggestion: The Rise & Fall of Roush Fenway Racing (Xfinity) The Rise & Fall of Evernham Motorsports The Rise & Fall of Darrell Waltrip Enterprises

I was a huge Elliott Sadler fan growing up

I would love to have seen RYR survive to this day as a three car team with 28, 38 and 88 Fords. Loved watching those cars race every week.

RYR was my team from day 1 when I started watching with Davey driving in 89/90, had and still have many of the diecasts from then, after Davey's passing I wasn't sure who I'd follow but decided and stuck with whoever drove RYR cars, which was funny as I wasnt much of a Irvan, Jarrett, or Rudd fan prior to them moving to RYR. I struggled after to Yates closed as a racing team to find a favorite team and driver only last few years with DiBenedetto and Blaney,

Well done

you should do Melling Racing next since Bill Elliott drove the number 8 for them

All teams fall from grace eventually for whatever reason, but a legacy will always live.

The Fall of Robert Yates Racing was mostly because they signed Andy Armstrong to the 88 after Dale Jarrett retired. (By the way, this is a joke. i've been playing NASCAR 05 lately and that happened in Fight To The Top.)

Haha I have been playing NASCAR thunder 03 and Robert Yates made some big mistakes with replacing Rudd in 28 with Audrey Clark, Jarrett in 88 with Dan Pardus. Both compete for 29th and 30th in the standings lol

In the 2006 version, I bought Yates Racing after my previous team (the 126 O'Rielly Ford) decided not to re-sign me despite winning just about every race for 2 1/2 seasons. I wanted to drive the 88.

In NASCAR thunder 2004 Stanton Barrett was in the 9 car and vickers replacing Labonte in a remade Busch Series car and something else I can’t remember and in fight to the top in NASCAR 06 pj Harris was signed to the 14 car and I said WHO?? not kidding

Miss you Robert Yates NASCAR lost a great owner and And a legendary engine builder

Elliott Sadler became my favorite driver in 03 because of the #38 M&M’s car. It was awesome cheering for him in the beginning, but that 06 season was so weird. Something felt off, and that led to him going to the 19 car which destroyed his career. He went from driving the top equipment to Yates to Kahne’s leftovers at Evernham/Gillette/Petty.

Ernie Irvan is the most underrated driver ever. When he got in that 28 car it was magic. I was at the Charlotte race that Fall, and he drove off and left everyone. He would have won the championship in '94 if he wasn't injured, even with that he stayed in the top 20 points while missing several races. Robert Yates and Doug Yates engines are incredible! When they merged with Roush, Matt Kenseth said the difference in horsepower was amazing, and the Roush engines were no slouches either. You can tell about the horsepower now when you see Kevin Harvick in victory circle thanking them for the horsepower with a big grin on his face. The best moment for them recently was Michigan Summer 2018, when Kyle Busch said they got whopped by the blue oval, they blew his doors off through the whole race.

Im not a ford guy but damn them Yates engines crank out some fucking power
