[2] The team won two NASCAR Winston Cup Series races with James Hylton driving, the 1970 Richmond 500 and the 1972 Talladega 500.

During the Duel race, Hylton was in a transfer position until, on the final restart, he lost 2nd gear and was unable to accelerate, and wound 22nd.

During the ARCA 200 at Talladega, Austin Wayne Self spun in the Tri-oval, and collected Smith's, Radon.com Ford.

Just before impact, Smith's car hit a dip in the track and the front end shot off the ground.

After impact with the inside wall, while still running at over 100 mph, the car slid up in turns 1 and 2 before sliding down to the infield.

The next race would be even worse, as the team was forced to withdraw from Salem after losing their only motor in practice.

Before the green flag, Smith would pull the 48 down pit road with oil pressure issues, which could not be fixed, and relegated the team to the last position.

Strange was driving when he lost control of the team's GMC truck, which was hauling the race car and all the equipment and struck an embankment.

The future of the team was in question, although the 48 car was entered under the Hylton banner with Brad Smith listed as the owner and as the driver for the race in Toledo, Ohio.
