Team History

Winston Cup History
In 1987 Ernie started Winston Cup driving for Marc Reno, followed by D.K. Ulrich. In 88-89 he continued to drive for Ulrich never finishing inside the top 5. In 1990 Junie Donlavey contracted Ernie to drive, after 3 races that season Morgan-McClure contracted Ernie to drive for their #4 Kodak car. This was what Ernie needed. With the new team and car, Ernie placed his first run inside the top 5, his first pole and his first Winston Cup win. In 1993 Ernie left Morgan-McClure for Yates racing, but not without leaving 7 wins, 9 poles, and over a dozen top 5's in the books for Morgan-McClure racing. Yates contacted Ernie to drive for him to replace the late Davey Allison. Ernie has been driving for Yates ever since, both in the #28 and #88 cars. In 1998 Ernie left Yates and starting driving for MB2 Motorsports in the #36 Skittles and M&M sponsored Pontiac. Ernie Retired from auto racing in 1999.

Ernie made his 300th Winston Cup start on April 18th 1999.
