Chevy owned by ST Motorsports. His sole top-5 was a fourth in the fall race at Charlotte
. He also added on five other top-10s. His best start in the season was only a pair of tenths at New Hampshire
and Rockingham. He also finished in the top-30 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 17th in points in 1996. In the same weekend at Bristol
, Fuller won his first career pole, won his first career race and his wife gave birth to a child. Fuller only managed 3 other top-10s in 1996. He made one of his starts in a Michael Ritch-owned car, driving the #02 ECU Pirates
at Rockingham to a 38th place finish. To top off this great year, Fuller had a daughter named Tiffany Fuller. 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-10s in his first fifteen races, (7th at Darlington and 3rd at New Hampshire) Fuller was released from the #47 after running eighteenth in points. Fuller missed the next two races, but then signed on to become the driver for the #45 Hunters Specialties Chevy for Mike Laughlin, earning finishes of 7th at Gateway
and 9th at Bristol. However, Fuller was replaced for the last race by Greg Sacks
, but drove the #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 #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

In 2005, Fuller started off the year driving two races for NEMCO, but he was quickly replaced by Kim Crosby
, whose team bought the #7 NEMCO ride. Ironically, Fuller replaced Crosby later in the year, driving the #7 Big Boar Customs Chevy for GIC-Mixon Motorsports

Despite the car hitting the wall on the right side, the left side came apart. Amazingly, he never lost consciousness but the car's roof had to be cut off to extract him.
