After just one win the following season, the team switched to Chevrolet, and Gant won three races, finishing a career best second in points.
After Gant finished 27th in the final standings, he left the team for Jackson Bros. Motorsports, taking Skoal and No.
In 1989, Needham sold the team to Bill Edwards, a North Carolina businessman, switched to the No.
In their first race together, the Daytona 500, Mast drove the unsponsored car to a sixth-place finish, an accomplishment he later said was the one he was the most proud of.
Mast and Mach 1 ran twelve more races together that season, they were unable to duplicate that effort.
