Just for fun, if you were the owner and driver of a sprint car, what number would your car wear and why. For me, I would pick 27. My birthday is February 7th, simple enough.

7 Robbie Stanley (?). Have to share it with Jacob Wilson though. This sounds like one of questions where the more you think about it, the more you're gonna come up with.

I love 98 because I worshipped Parnelli Jones back in the Calhoun days but I ran either 1 or 2 for their single digit simplicity.

Either 77 for the year I was born or 8 because it has been a lucky number at times for me.

My Dad bought and drove his first midget in 1948. :respect: He and two of his racing buddies formed a 3 car team and their numbers were 25, 50 and 75. My Dad was 75. That's the first and only number he ever ran after that. Every car I have ever owned has been 75. I guess it's family tradition. :thumb: I've driven other numbers but I didn't own them.

X89, in honor of the late Fred Harbach, a Long Island modified driver who had a great 35 year career. Fred competed against, and beat, the best. He won the first All Star League race ever held (at Albany-Saratoga, a New Yorker 400 at Utica-Rome, many track championships at Islip, Freeport, Riverhead, and New Egypt. He went out in a way most drivers can only dream about. On the last night of his career he won the feature at Riverhead and also won the track championship. He was great with the fans and, in my writing days, was a pleasure to work with. His party mixture of "Jet Fuel" is legendary on Long Island.:thumb:
