When I was young, very young, I always thought about using the #7 on my car. Then as I got a little older I saw a lot of the good drivers had #1 on their car. I was too young to realize why the fast guys carried the #1. As a result, I put the 1 and 7 together to get #17. I ran that number for a while but soon I was racing against a lot of other #17's. I tried 17r for a while, but just didn't like the looks of it. After that, the 117 was born, because it wasn't just another 17, and I always thought 3 digit numbers were unique and usually recognizable (like the Dyer brick mobile 461)..,
