Rudd joined King Racing beginning in 1988 in the #26 Quaker State Buick Regal. He struggled with engine failures all season long and finished 11th in the standings, his worst points finish in eight years. After his only win of 1989 came at the inaugural Sears Point event, Rudd departed the operation, and signed with Hendrick Motorsports to drive the #5 Levi Garrett Chevrolet Lumina. He was able to win The Bud at the Glen and finished seventh in the final standings.

Rudd and Gibbs? Joe Gibbs is possibly interested in expanding to a fourth Nextel Cup team - with Ricky Rudd, if Rudd is amenable. Rudd drove Dover for Gibbs last month while Tony Stewart was recuperating, and the Gibbs team was pleased with how easy Rudd was to work with, and with how competitive Rudd still is. (Salem-Journal)

One year later Rudd celebrated his first series victory when he took the checkered flag in the Budweiser 400 at Riverside in his 161st start. Since then Rudd has registered 22 more wins with his biggest coming in ’97 when he captured the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis.
