Jeff Fuller (racing driver)
Jeffrey Fuller (born March 27, 1957) is an American former professional stock car racing driver. Before joining NASCAR's major leagues, Fuller won the 1992 Winston Modified Tour championship, driving for Sheba Racing. The Massachusetts native has 31 wins on the Modified Tour and was named the series' most popular drivers for three consecutive seasons (1992–1994). He is the older brother of the fellow NASCAR driver Rick Fuller.
Fuller made his Busch Series career in 1992, making one start. Driving the No. 20 First Ade Oldsmobile for Dick Moroso, Fuller started 27th and finished 26th, twenty-nine laps down.
Three years later, in 1995, after a run in the Whelen Modified Series, Fuller moved to the Busch Series to compete for Rookie of the Year. His team would be the No. 47 Sunoco Chevy owned by ST Motorsports. His sole top-five was a fourth in the fall race at Charlotte. He also added on five other top-tens. His best start in the season was only a pair of tenths at New Hampshire and Rockingham. He also finished in the top-thirty in all but one race and only recorded five DNFs. This enabled him to finish tenth in points in just his first season in Busch Series, earning him Rookie of the Year honors.
Missing two races relegated Fuller back to seventeenth in points in 1996. In the same weekend at Bristol, Fuller won his first career pole, won his first career race and his wife Liz gave birth to a child. Fuller only managed three other top-tens in 1996. He made one of his starts in a Michael Ritch-owned car, driving the No. 02 ECU Pirates at Rockingham to a 38th place finish. That same year, Fuller won a race in a one-off start at Thompson Speedway in what was then the Busch North Series.
Fuller's team continued to struggle in early 1997. Fuller managed only two top-tens in his first fifteen races, (seventh at Darlington and third at New Hampshire) Fuller was released from the No. 47 after running eighteenth in points. Fuller missed the next two races, but then signed on to become the driver for the No. 45 Hunters Specialties Chevy for Mike Laughlin, earning finishes of seventh at Gateway and ninth at Bristol. However, Fuller was replaced for the last race by Greg Sacks, but drove the No. 5 Alka-Seltzer Chevy for Terry Labonte. After finishing 14th, he cemented a 21st-place finish in points.
In 1998, Fuller only made eleven starts, making races with five different teams. Most of the season was with the No. 89 Allerest Chevy owned by Meredith Ruark. His best finish with them was 25th at Charlotte. Overall, Fuller's best finish of 1998 was with Laughlin's racing team at Pikes Peak, where he finished eleventh. Fuller also paired with Joe Gibbs Racing in 1998. He drove their No. 42 Carolina Turkey Pontiac at Charlotte to a fifteenth-place finish. Fuller's other top-20 finish in 1998 was for Bill Elliott at Miami, where he finished fifteenth as well.
In 1999, Fuller made 27 of the season's 32 races, but did not record a single top-ten. Fuller ran the first twenty-two races with Ruark's team, earning a best finish of twelfth at Pikes Peak and IRP. While with the team, he also had a vicious accident a Dover when he spun and slammed into the pit road wall hard twice and breaking it after contact with Phil Parsons. Fuller made four starts for Joe Gibbs again, driving the No. 42 Circuit City Pontiac to a best of 12th at Darlington. Fuller also added on one more start with Lyndon Amick's team. He finished 33rd at Memphis Motorsports Park. Fuller's best start in 1999 was fifth at Pikes Peak, and he finished 22nd in points.
When Fuller went to Winston Cup racing, he only made one 2000 start. It was for Moy Racing, where he started 43rd on the field at Bristol, but came back to a 21st place finish.
