I don't understand why they gave an honorable mention to Danica in the #10. She crashed out a lot, and had a Daytona poll. Aric Amirola would be a better honorable mention as he has a win with the #10.
I think of Steve Park and Rick Mast before I think of Jamie in the 1.
Agreed
Jaime had more success in the 1 car than both Steve Park and Rick Mast.
And? That’s not how the list was determined.
That #10 Tide Thunderbird is gorgeous.
Without reading the list, here's what comes to mind for me...
1 - Steve Park? Maybe Jamie McMurray?
2 - Rusty Wallace
3 - Literally the easiest number to choose for... Dale Earnhardt
4 - Kevin Harvick
5 - Terry Labonte
6 - Mark Martin
7 - Alan Kulwicki
8 - Dael Joonyer
9 - Awesome Bill Elliott
10 - Ricky Rudd I guess? Johnny Benson? (Probably not but I like him)
I'll give you an 85%
If this were one of my college midterms I'd be thrilled
Agree with all those

Kinda bull crap they didn't give the 4 to Harvick
They could've given it to Sterling Marlin. Back to back Daytona 500 champ on the 4 car.
That number 4 Kodak car was pretty iconic in the 90’s
I remember back when I was in kindergarten my teach was bewildered how I wrote the number 4 because of that car.
Holy shit! I’m the only person I’ve ever met that writes the number four the way it looks when typed and literally that car is why I do it.
why? I don’t know anything about Rex White other than just reading the stats, but he had a great career driving that number
26 wins, 90 T5s, 121 T10s, 27 poles, in 170 starts in the 4 for White.
22 wins, 96 T5s, 136 T10s, 22 poles in 194 starts in the 4 for Harvick.
It's no question Harvick will get it at the end of his career. But for now, I gotta go White. The slight stat edge and the fact he made the 4 iconic in his time, gives White the win right now.
They gave Earnhardt Jr the 8 car despite not having the most wins.
Because he made it iconic.
Iconic? I don't think that's the right word.
I don't know. Similar argument that Kurt Busch is in the #1, and they choose McMurray?
I am predicting Harvick gets the #29 and Kurt Busch gets the #97.
but why would they even put Kurt Busch on the list for the 1? I think this is a list for what drivers have done in that number, not their entire career, Busch has barely had half a season in that car, it wouldn’t make any sense to name him the most iconic/notable driver of the 1 car
I was trying to make an analogy, not making an assertion.
This is a good point, some guys like David Pearson, Darrell Waltrip (or Jeff Gordon's 2016 part time job) had multiple iconic numbers. I bet they'll give DW #11, Kenseth #17 and Pearson #21.
They’ll use Harvick for the 29, assuming they’re trying not to double-up drivers.
I like this....but it feels like a slight copy of colbeast off-season work.
