He won seven Winston Cup championships from 1980 to 1994, a record held with Richard Petty and Jimmie Johnson.

He drove for Bud Moore Engineering from 1982 to 1983, picking up three victories, before moving to Childress in 1984, where he won six more championships (1986, 1987, 1990, 1991, 1993, 1994).[1]
