==Career==
After replacing Kurt Busch in the first ever season in 2003, Eric left off where Kurt was and dominated. He won the Auto Club 500, Sirius 400, Dodge Save-Mart 350, Tropicana 400, and Sharpie 500 so far. He looks to be up somewhere from 15th-18th by the end of the season but the highest has been 20th. He was dominant at Kansas too, but he had pit road mishaps, and since the race only had 1 caution, he finished 41st after leading 7 laps, since then he has been in a bit of a slump. He lost tons of ground and fell as low as 27th. He ended the year on high though, winning at Homestead, finishing 24th in the standings. In a twist of events, he was going to retire after 2004 due to personal issues, but decided to stay because of the competition he gave. 2004 was great but he went winless through the whole first half of the season despite great performances everywhere but at New Hampshire he finally got that elusive win and propelled him higher in points. He pulled further ahead in the wins chart by scoring his eighth career win and second of 2004 in the second Michigan race after holding off a charging Donald Wilson in the last laps. After falling into a bad slump again following his Michigan win and fell as low as tenth in points after Phoenix, but followed that up with a dominating performance at Rockingham, winning the pole and leading 75 of 79 laps to get his third win of the season and ended the year with back-to-back wins after maximizing points at Homestead to get his fourth win of the season, and his tenth career win, being the first to hit double-digits. This was the second year in a row that he won at Homestead. His two wins at the end brought him up to finish seventh in points. 2005 saw lots of close wins for Drew as in the first quarter, he sat in the top 5 in points, but had been screwed out of three potential victories. After leading 49 laps in the Coca-Cola 600, he lost the race to Jerry Smith in the final laps. He finally pulled through the following race, leading 56 laps to win at Dover to extend his points lead to 172 over Smith.
