He participated in 124 races during his three seasons (1967, 1968, and 1969) of NASCAR action.[1] While never winning a race, Ervin managed to start an average of 22nd and finish in an average of 19th place.[1] His total career earnings were $2,805 ($ when adjusted for inflation).[1] The total number of miles that Ervin raced was 1398.8miles.[1]
