NASCAR
The team won its first NASCAR Winston Cup Series race in 1988 with Ricky Rudd at the wheel of the Quaker State Buick at The Budweiser at the Glen. Rudd also won the Banquet Frozen Foods 300 at Sears Point Raceway in 1989.
The third and final win for King Racing came in 1990 at the First Union 400 at North Wilkesboro with Brett Bodine driving. Bodine competed in the most events with the team, driving in 158 races. At the 1994 Brickyard 400, Bodine drove the car to a second place finish to Jeff Gordon. It would be Bodine's final top 5 finish of his career, and the team's best result over the final few seasons.
In 1995, sprint car champion Steve Kinser started the season in the car but struggled and was released. Hut Stricklin took over and ran the rest of the season, with two top 5's. Bernstein sold the team in 1995, but has maintained his NHRA team with continuing success.
