OK not sure if I under stand the question but here is what I interpret.
Nascar Champs
#0 = #60, 300, 20
#1= #91, 11,17, 71
#2= #22,92,42,72,27,2,24,20,
#3= #3,300,43,
#4= #43,42,4,44,48,24
#5= #5 Terry Labonte 1996
#6= #6,60
#7= #87,71,17,27
#8= #87,8,88,48
#9= #92,91,9
So I say all the number 0-9 have won championships.
Pretty sure the answer is 6. Can't recall a top-level series champ with 6 as part of the number.
Carl Edwards won the NW series in 60 - but not sure a driver sporting a 6 has ever won a title at the top level.
Good trivia.
1950 Bill rexford # 60
1966 David Pearson # 6
See my list above for all the numbers that I have confirmed to have won championships
Infinity
In mathematics, "infinity" is often treated as if it were a number however, that is not the answer to the question, or is it. In mathematics there is always an answer but it may not be the answer you are looking for. Is the question really a question or is it any one number or is the question all the possibilities of how many number combinations that are possible that did not show on an championship car. Therefore, the possibilities are endless like in infinity So what is the right answer you ask. There seems to be correct answers given but is there? I believe you will find the answer to the question in the statement made by the great philosopher Donald Rumsfeld [T]here are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns the ones we don't know we don't know. | ||

OK, I confess, Once upon a time I questioned why Mark Martin never won a championship so I did a little research and what I found was that the #6 did not show up on any of the cars I researched and so I accepted that the #6 was never on a championship car. End of story...not so fast. So this morning I got up because Icouldn't sleep and logged onto RR.com at 3:23 AM (see above time) and felt a need to post some trivia. Thinking back at the halfass research I did quite some time ago I posted the question without going back and confirming the facts.
The answer, so I thought, was #6, even toomuchcountry came up with the #6 but for the love of God and Country Bill Rexford and David Pearson did have the #6 on their cars, how I missed that I cannot explain and either can Donald Rumsford. So I humbly apologize for wasting your time, it was a blunder that I'm sure some won't soon forget. I guess that blows my chance of ever being a guest speaker on RR.com again. Wink!
It was an ARCA race and in 1957 there were seven ARCA races at Canfield Fairgrounds (not Canton as originally posted.) Canfield Speedway was a special place for Bill where he won the inaugural event (later known as the Poor Man's 500) the only race he won all season, and went on to take the Grand National Championship that year in 1950. He was the youngest diver to win the championship. He was aided to the championship when Lee Petty was stripped of some points for racing in non-NASCAR sanctioned events. His only lead lap finish in his career was at Canfield Speedway (when he won). His only career pole came at Canfield Speedway the following year in 1951.
Fun is fun and there is no fun without fun! Thanks for the post Jim! I enjoyed it and talking about
a "Brain Game", this was one for us ALL! LOL Loved it and keep them coming!
