NASCAR Cup Series’ best by car number: 40-49

No. 44 (1949-2022)

Not expected to race full time in 2023, race fans might see Greg Biffle back in the No. 44 NY Racing car. In 1,012 races, the 44 car has 13 wins, 157 top-five finishes and 325 top-10 finishes. Terry Labonte is the only driver to win a championship in the No. 44, doing so in 1984 with his Hagan Racing Monte Carlo.

Labonte (259 races) and Kyle Petty (114 races) were the longest tenured drivers of the number. Labonte (six wins) was the only driver of the No. 44 to reach victory lane more than twice.
