Cale Yarborough Motorsports

During the 1988 season, Yarborough split time in the 29 car with Dale Jarrett, who had one top-ten finish in nineteen starts.

[1] Trickle posted two top-fives and won his only career pole at Dover International Speedway, finishing 24th in points.

Despite an eleventh-place run at the Busch 500, Speed left and was replaced for the duration of the season by Dorsey Schroeder, Chuck Bown, and Randy LaJoie.

Towards the end of the season, Mayfield left to drive for Michael Kranefuss, whose previous driver John Andretti moved to 98, finishing fifth at Martinsville Speedway.

Bickle resigned to drive for Tyler Jet Motorsports and Thorn Apple departed due to financial problems within the organization.

Due to the lack of financing, Yarborough originally closed his team up, but soon reopened and hired Rick Mast as its driver and car dealer Wayne Burdett as a co-owner.

Despite having no primary sponsor, Yarborough and his team ran the full schedule, picking up short-term deals with Sonic Drive-In and Hobas Pipe.
