Dale Jarrett's last race
I know he's driving for Toyota now, but he did win '99 championship with Yates Ford so we should mention him here.

When #44-Dale Jarrett starts the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway March 16 it will be the 668th start in a successful 24-year career. It also will be the former Sprint Cup champion’s last points race as the North Carolina native hangs up his helmet this year. The 51-year-old Jarrett opted to return this year, but only to run the first five races of the season. His last race actually will be the All-Star event at Lowe’s Motor Speedway in May, but BMS will be the last place he races for points. As a former BMS winner – he captured the Goody’s 500 (Aug. 23, 1997) – Jarrett says it is fitting that the World’s Fastest Half-Mile, where he made his first start in 1986, will cap what has been a very successful career.

He criticized Ford a lot when he left to drive for Toyota. He said that Ford is doing a horrible job with NASCAR.
Funny thing is, in 2006 with Yates' Ford he was 21st. Last year with Michael Waltrip's Toyota he was 41st.

Well, he done. Not with a bang but with a whimper. Somewhat Ironic that the cars from the team he bailed on did much better, even if they weren't exactly contending either.
