The Rooster returns to RYR for his final season (2007)
Join me throughout this year as I take a look at when some of the sport’s biggest stars drove some unusual cars! (Presented in no particular order).
Why? After a disappointing three year stint with the Wood Brothers, Ricky Rudd made a single race appearance in 2006, qualifying (and later serving as a relief driver) for Tony Stewart at Dover. However, he was lured out of his sabbatical by former team owner Robert Yates to run the 88 Ford for 2007.
How successful were they? A driver switch did little to stop the slide at Yates, as Rudd struggled all year long, regularly finishing outside the top-twenty. Rudd would also miss five races due to injury, the first time in his lengthy career that had happened.
What was the aftermath? The team would change its name to Yates Racing after 2007, but would only survive for two more years before being merged out of existence. Ricky Rudd, meanwhile, never returned to the driver’s seat.
Ranking on the Strange-O-Meter? 3 Snickers bars out of 10—while it was hoped that a Rudd-Yates reunion could provide a shot in the arm to the team’s performance, it was too little, too late.
