Long considered one of NASCAR's leading minds in horsepower, Robert Yates has also made a name for himself as one of NASCAR's top team owners.
Yates has been one of the circuit's premier engine builders for more than 30 years, providing engines for legendary drivers like Cale Yarborough, Bobby Allison and Darrell Waltrip. After years of hard work under the hoods of these powerful machines, Yates took his career to the next level in 1988 when he purchased his own race team.
Since Robert Yates Racing was born, the now two-car team has posted more than 50 victories in addition to the 1999 NASCAR championship, won by Dale Jarrett.
