NASCAR Cup Series’ best by car number: 70-79

No. 73 (1949-2012)

The No. 73 has been the least used car in the 70s with only 201 races, however, Johnny Beauchamp was still able to win two of his 14 races in the car. He also placed top-10 in half of those races. Bill Schmitt drove the car 42 times, more than double any other driver.

The car has not been in use since 2012 when it was driven by Travis Kvapil once that season. No. 73 has not been used multiple times in the same year since the 1992 Winston Cup Series when it was driven by Schmitt and Phil Barkdoll.
