I was traveling last night and listening to an episode of Dave Moody interviewing the late Robert Yates. Mr Yates stayed that in 95 I think it was when Ford was begging him to take the Quality Care sponsorship and create a new team he was talking to DE and Earnhardt was on board at one point to move from the 3 to the 88? Could you imagine? 75% of his fans would have had heart attacks from heartbreak. It appears they were good friends and respected each other. Said they both thought multiple car teams were not good. Robert Yates was very respected and loaded with integrity so can’t imagine he would lie? Especially a whopper like that?
Ultimately RY said he wanted to use another driver to beat Dale so he resurrected Dale Jarrett who was wanting one last chance and if he couldn’t make it was going to the PGA.
Oh and he didn’t want to take the QC sponsorship from Bud Moore but never went into specifics on how he was convinced to do so? I can’t remember, did BM fold when he lost the QC sponsorship?
