Ranier Racing with MDM, formerly known as Ranier-Lundy, was an American professional stock car racing team that last competed in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, the K&N Pro Series East, and the ARCA Racing Series. The team formerly competed in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series until 1987, fielding Cale Yarborough during the 1980s late in its operations. The team later became Robert Yates Racing after Yates, an engine builder and crew chief with the operation, bought the team in 1988. The team largely fielded General Motors vehicles for its various drivers until switching to Fords in 1985.
The team won the Daytona 500 three times, in 1980 with Buddy Baker and in 1983 and 1984 with Yarborough.
The team was based in Charlotte[1] and co-operated by Harry Ranier (February 25, 1937 – July 21, 1999)[2] and J. T. Lundy (January 3, 1941 – December 27, 2023),[3] who left in 1987.[4] Ranier was a Kentuckian coal mining magnate.[1][2][5] Ranier's entry into the sport predates magnates such as J. D. Stacy and Billy Hagan.[6]
