NASCAR Numerology: How NASCAR's Current Teams Got Their Numbers: Part Five.

Alright guys, we've gotten to the last part of this little miniseries.

Today we're covering:

Front Row Motorsports, who run the #34 Ford for Michael McDowell and the #38 for Todd Gilliland in the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series.

Legacy Motor Club, who run the #42 Toyota for John Hunter Nemechek and the historic #43 for Erik Jones.

and JTG Daugherty Racing, who run the #47 Chevrolet for Ricky Stenhouse Jr.

Fittingly, we get to end on representation for all three brands.

Front Row Motorsports debuted in 2004, running the #92 Ford on a partial schedule with drivers like Brad Teague, Tony Raines, and Stanton Barrett, but they would fail to qualify for any races. Furthermore, the Mach 1 Motorsports team ran the #98/#96 car that year, splitting time between Ford and Dodge, and running drivers such as Todd and Geoff Bodine, Larry Gunselman, Derrike Cope, Chad Chaffin, and Randy LaJoie.

This team did manage to make some races (keyword: some) and in 2005, Mach 1 would attempt the full schedule with a #34 Chevrolet while another slew of drivers (mainly LaJoie, Chaffin, and PJ Jones) but by the end of 2005, the team was up for sale. Front Row Motorsports would buy this #34 car, as well as Mach 1's shop, and build their team around it.

Often running as a start-and-park team with a revolving door of drivers, Front Row finally got some stability in 2009, with John Andretti driving the #34, and dragging it up to three top twenty finishes, at Daytona, Loudon, and Fontana.

Andretti left after the 2010 Daytona 500, but the top twenty streak remained, with Travis Kvapil scoring an 18th at Talladega and Kevin Conway a 14th at the summer Daytona race.

David Gilliland (Todd's father) ran the full 2011 season and scored a third place at the Daytona 500, building on the results of the last three years to make Front Row Motorsports a proper contender on the superspeedways.

For 2012, Gilliland was moved to the #38 (more on that later) while David Ragan took over the #34. This car would top off FRM's superspeedway streak by winning the 2013 Aaron's 499 at Talladega.

Ragan would leave FRM after the 2015 Daytona 500 to get the opportunity to fill in for the injured Kyle Busch, so that season was a bit of a revolving door for the #34 yet again. Yet, for 2016, they got a technical alliance with Roush Fenway Racing in exchange for running Roush development driver Chris Buescher.

And Chris Buescher would win the 2016 Pennsylvania 400 for them on a Monday after a rainy weekend followed by a foggy weekend led to a segmented and ultimately shortened race. It took a bit of luck, but it got FRM its second win, and the first that wasn't on a superspeedway.

Chris Buescher went to JTG Daugherty of all places for 2017 (more on that later), so FRM hired Landon Cassill, without much success, before signing Michael McDowell for 2018.

McDowell has seen FRM become a legitimate team, winning the 2021 Daytona 500 and the 2023 Verizon 200 at the Brickyard at the IMS Road Course. Furthermore, in 2024, now in alliance with Team Penske, Front Row Motorsports is no longer an ironic name, as McDowell has started first or second multiple times this season, including at Daytona, Atlanta, and even Gateway, the latter two being pole positions.

Michael McDowell, however, will be moving to the Spire Motorsports #71 for 2025.

FRM has built their numbering scheme off of the #34, running other cars such as the #35, #37, and most commonly the #36, but its second full time car has been the #38.

Driven by David Gilliland from 2012-2015 and son Todd Gilliand ever since 2022, the car has also seen drives from Landon Cassill, David Ragan (in a return to FRM), John-Hunter Nemechek, Anthony Alfredo, and Zane Smith. With four top tens and a further ten top twenties, 2024 has thus far been the most successful season to date for the #38.

FRM will run a third full time car in 2025, having bought a charter from SHR, and has signed SHR's Noah Gragson, but it is unknown was number he will run. FRM ran the #36 this season for Kaz Grala, but Bob Jenkins says he's not married to this numbering scheme. Still, even numbers in the mid-30s are as close to consistent numbering as FRM has ever gotten, so I hope they do decide to stick with the #36.

Onto Legacy Motor Club.

First things first, this team is a Frankenstein's Monster mess of forgotten NASCAR teams in hilarious fashion. Petty Enterprises, officially ran from 1949 to 2008, when sponsorship could not be found, leading to the team merging with Gillett-Evernham Motorsports for 2009. Gillett-Evernham Motorsports consisted of Evernham Motorsports, the former Dodge factory team that ran the #9 and the #19, MBV Motorsports (which was essentially the #10 car owned by Valvoline at this point), and money from George Gillett, who was at the time the controversial owner of the Montreal Canadiens and Liverpool FC.

So already, you had the Petty #43, Petty #45, Evernham #9, Evernham #19, and Valvoline #10 merging into one team, but for 2010, they also bought Yates Racing to take over Paul Menard and his #98 Ford. This allowed the entire team to switch from Dodge to Ford.

So come 2010, the team is running the #9, #19, #43, and #98 with relics from three different numbering schemes remaining in the team. It's freaking awesome.

The #19 and #98 went away after 2010, leaving the team with the #9 and the #43.

The #9 was initially their most successful car, with Kasey Kahne winning Sonoma 2009 and Fall Atlanta 2009 with the team, before Australian Marcos Ambrose won Watkins Glen for the team in 2011 and 2012.

The #43 would, to its credit, with the 2014 Coke Zero 400 at Daytona with Aric Almirola, and it would become the team's only car after 2016.

After the 2021 season, GMS Racing, a truck team, bought into Petty, becoming Petty GMS. Ahead of the 2023 season, the team became Legacy Motor Club, with Jimmie Johnson buying in, Richard Petty chasing out, and Maury Gallagher of GMS becoming majority owner. Petty remained involved a spokesman for the team, however.

So, finally, onto their numbers. They run the #43 and have since practically the beginning of time, because that was Richard Petty's number? Why, well, that actually takes us to their second car, the #42, which was Lee Petty's number.

Why did Lee Petty pick the #42? Legend has it was the first two numbers in his license plate.

So, Lee Petty ran the #42, his son Richard ran the #43, Richard's son Kyle would eventually run the #44, and Kyle's son Adam would run the #45. Each generation building on the last. When Adam died, Kyle took over the #45 in his memory.

Thad Moffitt in the Truck series is a grandson of Richard Petty through Petty's youngest daughter Rebecca, and he continues this trend by running the #46.

In any case, when Petty GMS bought a second car in 2022, they chose to run the #42 - recently vacated by Chip Ganassi - reuniting the original two Petty numbers.

This arrangement continued as Petty became Legacy and eventually switched to Toyota for 2024. Currently the #43 is driven by Erik Jones, who won Darlington in it in 2022, and the #42 by John Hunter Nemechek.

Also, fun fact, Kyle Petty drove the #42 at Team SABCO (which would eventually become Chip Ganassi Racing) from 1989 to 1996, so it was a Petty number even when it wasn't.

And now JTG Daugherty Racing. It started in 2007, running a second car (#47) in alliance with the Wood Brothers. I cannot find any specific reason for the #47, only that Tad Geschickter ran a #47 Busch car ever since 1996, so maybe it was an availability thing. In any case, they ran the #47 and made their Cup debut in 2007, with Ken Schrader and Jon Wood each trying and failing to qualify for a race.

The #47 managed a few starts in 2008 with Marcos Ambrose, finishing third at the Glen, which prompted JTG to split with the Wood Brothers to try and go full time for the 2009 season with Ambrose in a #47 Toyota. This lasted two years before Mabrose moved to the aforementioned Richard Petty Motorsports, with JTG instead drafting in Bobby Labonte.

They would sign AJ Allmendinger in 2013 as Labonte began scaling back his races, and with AJ full time in 2014, they'd win at Watkins Glen. Allmendinger would last until 2018, when Ryan Preece was hired for that car, but then Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was chosen for 2020. Ricky would win the 2023 Daytona 500 with the team.

JTG Daugherty also briefly has a second car, the #37 - ten less than #47, also apparently Tad used this number in college sports - the #37 ran with Chris Buescher for 2017, 2018, and 2019, before running with Ryan Preece for 2020 and 2021.

This brings up another interesting aspect of JTG Daugherty Racing - despite the fact that they're a Chevy team, they kinda have this unique relationship with RFK Racing. First of all, Chris Buescher was a Roush development driver. Second of all, that #37 car for Buescher was run on the charter for Roush's #16.

Third, was that when Roush took Chris Buescher back for the 2020 season, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. then went the other way, going from the Roush #17 to the JTG Daugherty #47.

Oh, and as recently as 2023, JTG Daugherty's pit crew was on loan from Roush. Yeah, odd.

So yeah, that is all 36 chartered teams for the 2024 NASCAR Cup series and the story of a couple other numbers that are relevant to the story. I hope you guys enjoyed all that, but I think I'm gonna write about some other motorsports for a little while. The blog has been a bit NASCAR heavy lately and this week added a whole five extra blogposts to it.

I do enjoy blabbing on about NASCAR, but I also enjoy blabbing on about MotoGP and Indycar. Formula One is also a sport that exists.

Kansas City Royals-Minnesota Twins Series Preview

8.12.24-Brady Singer RHP (8-7) 3.03 ERA Vs. Pablo Lopez RHP (10-8) 4.74 ERA

8.13.24-Seth Lugo RHP (13-6) 2.72 ERA Vs. TBA

8.14.24-Cole Ragans LHP (9-7) 3.27 ERA Vs. Bailey Ober RHP (12-5) 3.52 ERA

The Royals At A Glance- The Royals had a solid July with a (13-10) record. They went (2-3) on their last homestand against the Red Sox and Cardinals and have a 2.5 game lead in the last American League Wild-Card spot. The Royals traded for Lucas Erceg, Michael Lorenzen, and Hunter Harvey during the deadline. The team released Jordan Lyles and Nick Anderson in July. Bobby Witt Jr. has been on fire since the All-Star Break. He is hitting .459 with six homers and twenty-four RBI. Vinnie Pasquantino has added six homers and twenty-two RBI. The Royals starting staff has a 3.53 ERA, which is third-best in baseball. Seth Lugo has had a fantastic year, Cole Ragans is proving to be the ace, and Brady Singer is finally finding his own in the Majors. The Kansas City bullpen has a 4.28 ERA, which is 24th in the big leagues. James McArthur has locked down eighteen saves, but has a 5.12 ERA. Lucas Erceg has not allowed a run over 6 1/3 innings in a Royals uniform. Sam Long has a 2.36 ERA from the left side.

The Twins At A Glance- The Twins had a good and bad weekend. They swept the doubleheader on Friday from the Indians then lost two straight close games to the Indians. They sit 3.5 games behind the Indians for first place. The injuries have piled up as Brock Stewart needs shoulder surgery and is out for the year, Joe Ryan has a shoulder injury and might not be back to mid-to-late September. Justin Topa was shut down again. Chris Paddack could begin a throwing program soon. The team has been talking to Rich Hill about returning. Zebby Matthews is also a name to watch to make a start for the team. Brooks Lee went on the injured list with a sore shoulder and received a cortisone shot. Carlos Correa has been sprinting on the field and won't begin a rehab assignment until he sees how his foot responds. Byron Buxton has been hot since the All-Star Break. He has seven homers and eleven RBI since the break. Christian Vazquez is hitting .382 since the break. The team is looking at their best starting pitching options past Pablo Lopez, Bailey Ober, and Simeon Woods Richardson. David Festa and Louie Varland might be relied upon in the absenses of Joe Ryan and Chris Paddack. Steven Okert was activated from the bereavement list prior to this series. Randy Dobnak was optioned back to St. Paul to make room on the roster.

What To Watch For- The Twins are (5-2) against the Royals in 2024. They took two of three at Kauffman Stadium to start the year then won three out of four at Target Field in the last week of May. Brady Singer is (3-6) with a 5.18 ERA in twelve starts against the Twins. Byron Buxton has two career homers off Singer. Pablo Lopez is (4-1) with a 2.41 ERA in five starts against the Royals. Seth Lugo has a 1.73 ERA in six games against the Twins. Cole Ragans is (0-2) with a 3.00 ERA in three starts versus the Twins. Bailey Ober is (0-4) with a 7.71 ERA in nine starts against the Royals. For some reason, the Royals have his number and they might know how he tips his pitches or something. Salvador Perez has two career homers off him. The Twins have not announced their starter for Tuesday's game. Zebby Matthews last pitched on Thursday and he would be on normal rest for the start on Tuesday. Josh Winder could get a spot start in a bullpen game as well.

NASCAR Reveals First Electric Racecar: A New Era in Racing

NASCAR revealed its first electric racecar in Chicago. The top motorsports series in North America has partnered with Chevrolet, Ford, Toyota, and ABB to showcase this high-performance electric vehicle. This collaboration aims to gauge fan interest in electric racing.

Part of the NASCAR experience is the engine roar. However, the electric racecar hums rather than thunders. NASCAR’s head of sustainability, Riley Nelson, believes electric vehicles can be cool, fun, and accessible.

NASCAR allowed the Associated Press to preview the $1.5 million prototype. Semi-retired driver David Ragan noted the distinct sound and smell. Unlike gasoline-powered cars, this electric vehicle lets drivers hear squealing tires and smell brakes without engine noise. After hundreds of laps, Ragan’s ears weren’t ringing.

[thorntonkrell-blog-blog]

I don't follow NASCAR racing so it was a new experience to visit the Charlotte Speedway in Concord, North Carolina yesterday. We took the tour and even got a 100MPH ride around the track. The actual cars travel twice as fast. Way too fast for me.

While waiting for the tour to begin, I read about some of the more thrilling races held at the 200,000 acre facility. The biggest event is the annual Coca-Cola 600, the longest race on the circuit.

How big is/was the event?

It's Elvis big.

In the movie Speedway Elvis appeared at the Charlotte Speedway named Steve Grayson. The Charlotte Motor Speedway scenes were filmed during the track's construction in 1967, and many of the extras in the movie were actual race fans who attended the track's inaugural World 600 race that year.

As I looked over the results of the past 56 years winners, three races stood out;

2009 Coca-Cola 600: In this race, David Reutimann was leading with just a few laps remaining when he ran out of gas, allowing the eventual winner, David Ragan, to pass him and take the victory.

2011 Coca-Cola 600: Dale Earnhardt Jr. was leading with just two laps remaining when he ran out of gas, allowing Kevin Harvick to pass him and take the victory.

2015 Coca-Cola 600: Kevin Harvick was leading with just three laps remaining when he ran out of gas, allowing Carl Edwards to pass him and take the victory.

Ran out of Gas?!?

How in the hell could such a finely tuned machine run being monitored by a crew of mechanical engineers and computer wizards run out of gas? out of gas so frequently. I can't remember the last time that I ran out of gas....in a car that is. I've run out of gas figuratively on any number of occasions so I was interested in the literal meaning of running out of gas as well as the concept of running on empty which somehow propelled Jackson Browne into the rock and roll hall of fame.

I asked our tour guide several questions about this phenomena and he seemed grateful for my interests and delighted to fill us in. His name was Fowler and he clearly loved his job.

The first thing I asked was, "Can't the driver just check his dashboard to see how much gas he's got left?"

In a NASCAR Cup Series race, the driver has some basic information available on the dashboard of the car, but there is no direct measurement of the fuel level in the gas tank.

The dashboard of a NASCAR Cup Series car shows the driver's speed, RPM, water temperature, and oil pressure, but the fuel gauge is not a standard feature on the dashboard. Instead, the driver relies on communication with their team to manage fuel consumption throughout the race.

MMMMKKKAAYY

Seems a little complicated but whatever.

"So the driver doesn't know how much gas he has left at any time?"

Fowler liked that question too as he had the answer.

"When the driver is traveling at top speed, his car is consuming the most amount of gas. When the engineers notice that too much fuel is being used, they will instruct the driver to step off the throttle to conserve for when bursts of speed are more needed.

During a race, the team will monitor the car's fuel usage and estimate how much fuel is remaining in the tank based on the car's fuel mileage and the number of laps completed. They calculate how many laps the car can complete on a full tank of gas and use this information to determine when the car will need to make pit stops to refuel.

NASCAR cars are equipped with a fuel-level sensor that provides a rough estimate of the amount of fuel in the tank. This sensor sends data to the car's onboard computer, which can help the team monitor fuel usage and estimate the amount of fuel remaining in the tank.

The fuel-level sensor is not always 100% accurate, so NASCAR teams cannot rely on it as the sole source of information about the car's fuel level. Instead, they use a combination of estimates, calculations, and data from the fuel-level sensor to manage fuel consumption throughout the race and ensure the car can complete the race distance without running out of gas."

Me and Fowler were on a roll.

"So the cars fill sup during pit stops. How many pit stops will a car make during the 600?"

Fowler was answering all these questions by he way while he was driving around the various tracks and lots at the Speedway. When he answered question, he looked back at me through the rear view mirror.

"In the Coca-Cola 600 NASCAR Cup Series race, cars typically make multiple pit stops for fuel throughout the race. The exact number of pit stops for fuel during the race can vary depending on several factors, including the fuel efficiency of the car, the driver's racing strategy, and any unexpected factors such as caution flags or accidents that might occur during the race. Cars in the Coca-Cola 600 race make approximately four to five pit stops for fuel. what happens during a pit stop.During a NASCAR race, a pit stop is a critical part of the race strategy, where the driver can stop in the pit area for a brief time to refuel the car, change tires, and make necessary adjustments to the car."

"Besides filling up, what else happens during a pit stop?"

I don't know if everybody who takes the tour asks these questions. Probably most people who get in the car with Fowler know all these things like I know about baseball. Since I kew. virtually nothing about his sport, I asked the most basic of questions and Fowler kew how to answer them with precise, patient, articulate information.

'"As the driver approaches the pit area, the pit crew members, eight to ten people, will stand ready to service the car.

The driver will bring the car to a stop in their assigned pit stall, which is marked with the team's logo or number. Once the car has stopped, the pit crew jumps over the pit wall and starts servicing the car.

The gas can is inserted into the car's fuel cell, and the pit crew member pulls a trigger to release the fuel. The pit crew will aim to fill the car with just the right amount of fuel to make it to the next planned pit stop without running out of gas carrying extra fuel can add extra weight and reduce the car's speed.

The pit crew members will use a jack to lift the car off the ground so that they can remove the old tires and replace them with new ones. This process typically takes only a few seconds, with each tire being tightened with an impact wrench.

Once the refueling and tire change are complete, the pit crew signals to the driver that it is safe to leave the pit area. The driver then accelerates out of the pit and back onto the racetrack.

A pit stop can typically last around 12 to 15 seconds, but in some cases, it can be completed in under 10 seconds."

"It takes me about 12 seconds to just get out of my car," I noted sadly.

"yeah, it's amazing what these guys can do."

I tried to sum the whole thing up.

" The idea then is to get to the finish line first with the least amount of fuel left in the tank."

"Yup", said Fowler, the more unneeded gas you carry, the heavier the car which slows down the speed."

I remembered back to my teaching days. How I would need to conserve my energy so that I was near empty whenever a break would occur so that I could use that break and be at full capacity when the break was over. By the time summer came, I wanted to have used all of my teaching energy for that particular year. If I had energy left, I hadn't given enough...hadn't checked my internal gauges correctly. Had coasted when I should have throttled. It's not a bad thing to run on empty, if you don't need the gas that's just weighing you down.

I contemplated all that I had learned and shut up for a few minutes.

onelinecross@yahoo.com does the crew fill the tank with gas at each pit stop During a NASCAR race, the crew does indeed fill up the car's gas tank at each pit stop if necessary.

The amount of fuel a car needs during a pit stop depends on several factors, including the fuel efficiency of the car and how much fuel is remaining in the tank. Typically, the crew will aim to fill the tank with just enough fuel to make it to the next planned pit stop without running out of gas, as

The amount of fuel a car can carry is also regulated by NASCAR, and teams must follow specific guidelines to ensure that the car is not overfilled or underfilled with fuel.

Overall, during a pit stop, the crew will work quickly to refill the car's gas tank with the necessary amount of fuel, change the tires, and make any necessary adjustments to the car before sending it back onto the racetrack.

onelinecross@yahoo.com what are the fuel guidelines for overfill or underfill According to NASCAR's rules, teams must adhere to specific fueling guidelines to ensure that the car is not overfilled or underfilled with fuel during a pit stop. The rules are as follows:

Overfilling: The fuel cell, which is the tank that holds the fuel, must not be filled above the designated maximum capacity. For most NASCAR Cup Series races, the maximum fuel capacity is 18.5 US gallons (70 liters). If a team overfills the fuel cell, the car will be penalized and forced to make a return trip to pit road to have the excess fuel removed, which can cost the team valuable time and position on the track.

Underfilling: Teams are also not allowed to underfill the fuel cell, as this can provide an unfair advantage by allowing the car to carry less weight and move faster. NASCAR officials will check the fuel cell before and after the race to ensure that each car has the appropriate amount of fuel. If a car is found to have underfilled the fuel cell, it may be disqualified from the race or face other penalties.

Fueling Safety: In addition to the above guidelines, NASCAR also enforces strict safety rules for fueling during pit stops. Fueling must be done only by authorized crew members who wear protective gear and use approved fuel cans and equipment. The pit area must also be kept clear of debris, and crew members are not allowed to carry fuel cans across the pit wall or racetrack. Any violation of these safety rules can result in penalties or disqualification from the race.

"Can they travel 600 miles on one full tank?"

NASCAR race cars do not run out of gas during a race intentionally. Running out of fuel during a race is typically the result of a miscalculation or error by the team in charge of managing the car's fuel supply.

During a NASCAR race, teams must carefully manage their fuel consumption to ensure that their cars can complete the race distance without running out of gas. This involves calculating how much fuel is needed for each lap, taking into account factors such as the car's speed, tire wear, and track conditions.

If the team miscalculates the amount of fuel needed, the car may run out of gas before it reaches the finish line, which can be a costly mistake. Running out of fuel during a race can result in the car losing valuable time as it is forced to coast or pit for an emergency refueling, potentially costing the driver a chance at victory.

In recent years, NASCAR has implemented rules and technologies designed to help prevent fuel-related issues during races, such as limiting the size of fuel tanks and using electronic fuel injection systems that can provide more accurate data on fuel consumption.

onelinecross@yahoo.com Is the ideal to race the entire race without running out of gas Yes, the ideal in NASCAR racing is for a driver to complete the entire race without running out of gas. Running out of gas during a race can be a costly mistake that can prevent the driver from winning or finishing the race, as they may need to make an unscheduled pit stop to refuel or risk being unable to finish the race.

NASCAR teams typically calculate the amount of fuel needed to complete the race distance based on factors such as the track length, the number of laps, and the car's fuel efficiency. The team will then make strategic decisions throughout the race to maximize the car's fuel efficiency, such as adjusting the car's speed, conserving fuel during caution periods, and making pit stops to refuel at optimal times.

Running out of gas during a race can be caused by a miscalculation of fuel usage, a failure of the fuel delivery system, or unexpected changes in track conditions. However, by carefully managing their fuel consumption and making strategic decisions throughout the race, NASCAR teams aim to avoid running out of gas and ensure their drivers can complete the race distance without any fuel-related issues.

onelinecross@yahoo.com how is fuel consumption managed throughout the race Fuel consumption in NASCAR is managed by the team responsible for managing the car's fuel supply. During a race, the team must carefully monitor the car's fuel consumption and make strategic decisions to ensure that the car can complete the race distance without running out of gas.

The team will typically calculate the amount of fuel needed to complete the race distance based on factors such as the track length, the number of laps, and the car's fuel efficiency. They will then create a fuel strategy that outlines when the car will need to make pit stops to refuel and how much fuel will be added during each stop.

During the race, the team will monitor the car's fuel level and adjust their fuel strategy as needed. For example, if the car is using more fuel than expected, the team may instruct the driver to conserve fuel by driving more slowly or coasting during certain portions of the race. Conversely, if the car is using less fuel than expected, the team may adjust their fuel strategy to allow the driver to push the car harder or pit less frequently.

Additionally, NASCAR teams may use technologies such as electronic fuel injection systems and telemetry to monitor the car's fuel consumption and make real-time adjustments to their fuel strategy. These technologies provide the team with more accurate data on fuel usage, allowing them to make more informed decisions about when to pit for fuel and how much fuel to add.

Overall, managing fuel consumption is a critical aspect of NASCAR racing, as running out of gas during a race can prevent the driver from winning or finishing the race. By carefully monitoring fuel levels and making strategic decisions throughout the race, NASCAR teams aim to ensure their drivers can complete the race distance without any fuel-related issues.

onelinecross@yahoo.com does anyone know exactly how much fuel is i the tank In NASCAR, teams do not have an exact measurement of the amount of fuel in the tank. Instead, they rely on estimates and calculations based on the car's fuel mileage and the number of laps remaining in the race.
