Renfrow started his CTS career in 1996, running seven races. His debut came for the #41 George Turnage Dodge team at Bristol. He started the race in fifteenth position, but finished 27th after mechanical issues. In fact, Renfrow would only finish one race in 1996, a race at Richmond in which he would finish twelfth. It would prove to be his only top-twenty finish on the year. However, Renfrow qualified well. He had two top-ten starts, the best being a 5th at Nashville.

Renfrow competed in two races in 1997 for the Turnage team. He was 32nd at Bristol and 24th at Richmond, both without very much to comment on. He did not finish either race.

Renfrow began 1998 running Dominic Dobson's No. 78 Dodge. In his first race at California, Renfrow qualified fourth. Renfrow then led his first career CTS laps at Pikes Peak, leading ten laps before fuel issues forced him out. He would also lead nine laps at Loudon, but the results were not there and Renfrow left the team. He drove the #61 IWX Chevy at Martinsville in his next start. There, he drove a solid race to ninth place. It was his first career CTS top-ten. The run earned Renfrow a run in the No. 66 Ford for two races, and then the No. 84 Ford for the season finale. However, for those two teams, his best race was 26th at Vegas and neither ride resulted in a 1999 offer. Overall, he finished thirtieth in points.

Renfrow would once again finish thirtieth in points during 1999. He started off his season by replacing the injured Rick Carelli in his No. 6 RE/MAX Chevy for Chesrown Racing. However, in three starts, Renfrow only managed a best finish of fifteenth at I-70, before Carelli came back. Renfrow then moved back to the #41 Dodge, now owned by TKO Motorsports. He ran solidly in his six starts for that team. In his first start for the team, he started on the outside pole at Michigan, before finishing 26th. After that, he had five straight top-twenty finishes to close out the year. This included a ninth at Richmond, matching his career best.

The late season for TKO earned Renfrow the full ride in 2000. In fourteen starts for the team, Renfrow managed four top-tens. This included his first career top-five and eventual best career finish of fifth at Mesa Marin. Oddly, after the race at Milwaukee, Renfrow was released in favor of Jamie McMurray. Renfrow was fifteenth at that time in points, but only raced one more time in 2000. That was for Conely Motorsports at Texas, where he finished thirtieth.

Renfrow returned to the series for three races in 2003. He drove the No. 66 MLB Motorsports Dodge in all three starts. However, the team was low-budget and the best Renfrow managed was 25th at Dover, even though he did not finish that race or any other of his 2003 starts.

Renfrow has not raced in major NASCAR since. He continues to race Late Model cars occasionally at Wake County Speedway in Raleigh, North Carolina, owns Randy Renfrow Race Cars, and is a crew chief in late model racing for Coulter Motorsports.[citation needed]
