Eddy won his seven championships in 1974, 1976, 1981, 1982, 1989, 1991, and 1992. In addition to this he was ASA's all-time career leader in laps lead, starts, and top 10s. Eddy also ranks second in all-time victories with 58 and second on the all-time earnings list. During his championship season of 1992 he led 2,183 laps that year, which was a single-season record.

Eddy was known to be an aggressive driver who wasn't shy about nudging slower cars out of his way.
Offers from NASCAR teamsEdit
Because of the success that he had achieved in ASA, Eddy received several offers from NASCAR teams, turning them down each time. In the early 1990s, he was offered the No. 75 car by RahMoc Enterprises, which was a prominent Winston Cup Series ride at the time. He turned it down because his GM Goodwrench deal in ASA came along at the same time.[1]
A few years later, Eddy was offered to drive the No. 43 truck for Petty Enterprises for the 1996Craftsman Truck Series season, but once again had to turn down the offer due to his contract with GM Goodwrench at the time.[1]
