Mine is 51. Ever since I saw Days of Thunder back when I was like seven, I have been in love with the #51 Exxon car.


Bit of trivia: Kyle Busch races a similarly-livieried truck in the NASCAR CTS as a tribute to Bobby Hamilton. Bobby Hamilton drove the movie car back in 1990 for Hendrick Motorsports, but died of neck cancer in 2007. I hate Kyle Busch, but I thought that was a nice gesture.

when I was a kid, my parents used to take me to the local carnival. One time they have me a quarter to play on one of those games where you put your $ on a number, then they spin a big wheel, and if it hits your number you win... (aka roulette) well, I played 12, and I won! Ever since, 12 has been my lucky number
Yeah, 69 is just retarded. It really irritates me when I see d-bags with that number. On the other hand, "66" I think of Rte. 66, which is appropriate and cool
since my car is primarialy a drift car i run 666 except in the NASA arizona region who wont let me have that number. this is the conversation i had at the registration table
woman: what number would you like?
me: 666 please
woman: what?
me: 666, the number of the beast. it fits my car, trust me.
woman: i cant give you that number...its just not right...
me: no seriously, its just a number.
woman: pick another one
me: ok ill take 999 then
woman: very funny, heres 473. have a good day joe
maybe it will change since im the drift director now hahaha

I agree. It is getting harder to get at track events. May change to 14, my son's birthday; Jan. 4.

My first track event i had 8008. Made with blue painters tape, the squared numbers looked like it spelled BOOB. Now that I look back on it, I realize how retarted it was.
Now I use 330 (my gf's b-day, March 30th)

When I first started racing I was #20...don't know why
Then I was #44...football # that I always liked
Then I was #74...my birth year
Then I was #47...birth year backwards
Then I was #10...birth date
Then I went back to #47 (see above)
Finally I think I'm gonna settle with #27....This is why: (sorry for the size
)

My daughter's birthday
7/27/07
or I guess I can use #7, or #07, or.......
