NASCAR Cup Series’ best by car number: 90-99

No. 98 (1950-2016)

Even though the No. 98 has over 1,000 career races, it’s tough to pinpoint one driver who has outright claimed its run as the most successful. Drivers like Marvin Panch (85 races) and Paul Menard (72 races) have spent the most time behind the wheel of the number, but LeeRoy Yarbrough (62 races) has enjoyed the most impressive tenure with 10 wins. Panch closely follows Yarbrough after finishing with six victories during his 1957 season.

With nearly eight drivers topping 50 races in the No. 98 car, others have enjoyed solid stints on the track like Jeremy Mayfield, Eddie Gray, and Joe Ruttman. After spending the 2014 and 2015 seasons with a cast of drivers, the number has since been off the Cup Series circuit. The No. 98 currently sits with 25 total wins.
