NASCAR Cup Series’ best by car number: 70-79
No. 74 (1951-2020)
L.D. Austin won No. 74’s only Cup Series championship in 1960, but outside of his 161 races, the car has not seen much success. No. 74 has just five top-five finishes without Austin (two), but no wins. Tom Pistone has two of those finishes and only drove the car 10 times.
The car has not been frequently used, being last driven by Reed Sorenson twice in 2020 and was previously used before that seven times in 2012.
