  • In the NASCAR community, there is a debate over what is the sport’s unluckiest car, and what really makes a car unlucky. I believe the unluckiest car in the sport’s history is the No. 28 for Robert Yates Racing. The 28 team could never secure a championship. Not only this, but because of the tragedies that occurred with their drivers Davey Allison, Kenny Irwin Jr, and Ernie Irvan, many in the industry actually believe this car was cursed.

    The White/Black/Gold Havoline 28 is one of the all-time best paint schemes. I loved Davey. I was a 13 year old Alabama country boy when he passed. I will never forget that July morning when they announced it on Sportscenter.

    People really don’t speak of Davey’s 92 season in its full context. Yes he had 5 wins but on the flip side of that it was a complete feast or famine season where he either finished very well or he totally crapped out and has a serious lack of consistency. Furthermore I truly believe that he suffered at least 1 or more concussions that season due to wrecks like the ones he had at Poccono and in the Winston.

      It's NASCAR, in NASCAR you just can't be fully consistent... It shows that Davey always gave it all and went for all, it was all or nothing for him and never gave up! That's what great drivers like Jimmie Johnson, Dale Earnhardt or even Kyle Busch do. Davey loved racing and in that matter he was very consistent. If he wasn't he wouldn't need just a top 7 in the final race to win the championship.

    As someone who was watching every race back then, let me tell yall that Havoline Thunderbird was one bad ass ride, particularly when McReynolds took over as Crew Chief because they essentially became a championship team overnight. Other than Dale's #3, the 28 car was pretty much the car that everyone looked for every week during that time, then when Rusty went to the Miller Genuine Draft deal with Penske, they were the 3 fast black cars every week one of them was in contention for victory if not all 3. I'm a diehard Chevy guy BUT I did root for Davey particularly during the 1992 season cause most figured since Dale was having such a sour year that it was Davey's title to lose. That was a sad day at Atlanta that November when they lost the title, all due respect to Alan & also that was King Petty's last ride BUT I think everyone was looking forward to seeing Davey finally hoist that first long awaited Winston Cup trophy. I thought it was truly ironic that Irvan would eventually take over the 28 car after the loss of Allison. Irvan REALLY showed just how strong that car was in 1994, you know he was the season's True Value Hard Charger Of The Year Award winner despite missing the final 11 races of the season. And NFJJ is wrong, Irvan took over the car with 9 races remaining in 93 & won 2 of them one at Charlotte & the other at Martinsville. He returned to the team to drive at the end of 1995 in a Havoline sponsored car numbered 88 which would be switched to Dale Jarrett in 96 & Irvan would return to the 28. Yes the 28 car itself never was able to win a title BUT luckily Robert Yates Racing finally did get one with Dale Jarrett in 99, an unlikely one at that cause when he was initially announced to drive for Yates, I also thought it was a bad move but Jarrett ended up being the teams most successful driver. With how goofy these cars look now, I would not want to see the number on any of them....

    The #28 Texaco Havoline Thunderbird was probably the most iconic cars in NASCAR history other than the #3 Goodwrench Chevrolet Monte Carlo or the #43 STP Plymouth/Pontiac. I was a huge Ernie Irvan fan and the days of Irvan, Earnhardt, Jarrett, Martin Wallace and all those boys were in my opinion the golden age of NASCAR. I miss those days.

      The reason Davey changed the paint is because NASCAR made him. The reason was the scorers where have a hard time picking up the car in the corners and back straight away. So in defiance Davey had the car painted black with day glow orange numbers. He was going back to the white and black with day glow numbers but Texaco loved the black color scheme.

    There's quite a few cars in NASCAR history that could be considered cursed. The 28 in Cup is certainly one of them.
    I'd also consider the 37 Timberwolf & 38 Great Clips cars in the Busch series as cursed.
    And of course there is also the infamous Whelen curse where any Cup driver who drove that 31 car in the Busch Series ended up injured... except Dave Blaney.

      Jeff Purvis - Replaced Kevin Grubb, was there for the first 12 races of 2002, got a rain-shortened win at Texas which was his only top 5 & top 10 for that team, but a savage crash at Nazareth essentially ended his NASCAR career.
      Kevin Lepage - Took all but 3 of the rest of the 2002 races after Jeff Purvis got hurt, got 2 top 5, but was irrelevant the rest of his career... not to mention he invented "Lepaging".

      David Green - Took over in 2003, 3 wins, 11 top 5's, 21 top 10's, but only finished 2nd in points, 2004 was a down year with 0 wins, 6 top 5's, & 16 top 10's.

    One clarification regarding Ernie Irvan's departure from Robert Yates Racing: he didn't leave so much as he was let go. The short version is that Irvan wasn't the same personality-wise after the near-fatal crash and continually alienated Texaco, doing things like not thanking them in his 1996 banquet speech, and showing up nearly two hours late to an anniversary dinner in 1997. Midway through the '97 season, Texaco had enough and essentially told Robert Yates, "it's him or it's us." Irvan's contract was up at the end of the year, so Yates decided not to renew it and brought in Kenny Irwin.

    Your video is not a fair portrayal of Ernie Irvan's 1996 season. There was serious doubt as to whether Ernie Irvan would have lived after that 1994 Michigan wreck-he was given a 10% chance to live. He not only came back and lived, he came back to race-and ran the 88 car and 28 truck in 1995.
    At the Daytona 500, Ernie Irvan put the 28 car on the outside pole alongside Dale Earnhardt-and led the first two laps. An early wreck took him out of contention. But he opened the season leading in his first race back in that 28 car. Irvan spent the first half of the season low in the points. But, Irvan staged a midseason comeback winning at New Hampshire in a 7 race streak of Top 5's, won again at Richmond, climbed as high as 6th in points, and ultimately finished 10th in points. (Dale Jarrett was 3rd in points that year and almost won the Winston Million.)
    By any rational measure, a 10th place points finish with 2 wins after being on death's door is an outstanding comeback.
    You do have a point that the 28 has an unlucky history. But you have not told the complete story.

    Davey was such a lovely character. His wife had it right that he was spread too thin, trying to be the best at everything including rotorcraft. And the idea that 80’s and 90’s NASCAR drivers were different is true: Davey seemed like a “young buck” still when he passed, but he was 32. He was going to help Neil who was 46 and picked up Red who was in his 60’s. Winston Cup was for mature and wise drivers.

    i've commented before on daveys death. coming home from something with parents heading to room while mom got supper and dad almost immediately after turning the tv on hollering bill get out here. and thinking wait i wasn't in trouble before we left, i don't think i did anything while gone to get in trouble we were joking about stuff on way home, and about that time dad in that voice only a dad can produce said i said get out here now..... and to walk out to find davey was in bad shape. i remember thinking good lord when does this nightmae stop? i'll admit i wasn't a fan of kulwicki prior to his championship. i'm man enough to admit this. i was however a huge davey fan. after reading and seeing all kinds of stuff about alan, his work ethic, his background, etc., i was slowly becoming a fan. who wouldn't? i'm not the only one in that category i know this for a fact. but 94 was even worse. that happened saturday i guess? or friday? i forgot which now but think it was saturday. well i was now in ny trying to work work scholarship at the college i was going to attend. because mom and dad were traveling back i didn't hear from them till either monday or tuesday not even sure how much they knew. i spent my saturday morning tearing my acl, and then trying to grit through a shift working in a dish pit. (for the record not a good combo). while i was feeling sorry for myself and trying to figure out what to d o to get through work scholarship as i'd been told if you can't work u can't stay, ernie was fighting for his life. monday some of us went to the local diner as a get together/ get to know everybody thing. and saw the headline. and i just about was sick. and thinking again when does this nightmare end? if as a fan i was feeling this way i can only guess what robert, larry, adn the boys were feeling. i gotta say i was NOT an irwin fan. i thought he got the 98 truck ride very badly, hadn't really done as well as the previous guy but now he's a cup guy replacing my man irvan? i felt bad, as i should, but it wasn't the same.

    Wonder why Larry left Brett's team after 4 races. Idk he was with Brett till this video. Kenny Jr was one of 4 drivers i think that died of a fracture to the skull. Blaise Alexander (local driver), Adam Petty, and Sr. Blaise's death was the last death before the haans device was enforced for all drivers. and the safety barrier at the tracks.

      Robert & Larry started talking about him becoming the car chief of the 28 towards the end of the 1990 season. This was after he, Larry, had a few conversations with Davey about it. Larry had initially accepted a deal to start the 91 season as the car chief but he changed his mind not long after because of loyalty to Kenny & King Racing but after a few sour runs with the 26 car to start the 91 campaign & at the same time, Robert Yates had fired Davey's crew chief, the 2 got together again & this time were able to work out a deal & the rest as they say is history...
