Rudd Performance Motorsports was a stock car racing team that competed in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series between 1994 and 1999.

Owned by Ricky Rudd, the team's only driver, it posted six wins during its existence.

[4] Towards the end of the 1999 season Tide announced they were leaving the team and moving to PPI Motorsports who was entering NASCAR from CART with driver Scott Pruett.

Following the 1999 season without a sponsor, Rudd closed his team, having decided that the stress of balancing team ownership with driving was unprofitable[citation needed] and moved to drive Robert Yates Racing's No.
