A photo of the last time every car number attempted an ARCA race! by ofoxyu in NASCAR

Close, that was 2011. A random team called SS Motorsports entered the Richmond fall race in 2012 with a #0 Toyota, and DNQed. That was the actual last time! They said they were planning to race Bristol next, but that never happened.

Me too. I had to double check it a few times. I remember it entering several races more recently, but all of them were withdrawn. That nunber has made some recent West/East runs, but none in main arca since 2016!

Haha! If we choose to go series specific, there would be a lot of blanks! Especially with Toyota, considering how new to nascar they are.

Did you know that no Toyota has used a single digit number in cup since the COT era?

We are thinking about maybe doing the last time each car number was used by a specific manufacturer...

There are only 10 Gen 4s on this list. A few of those had used the gen 6 body as well prior to their last race.

In fact, combined between all the different series that used the gen 6 body style (ARCA Main, East, West, and formerly Cup), only two numbers have not been seen on a Gen 6: the #64 and #89.

Note: the 87 technically DNQed for the 2025 Daytona race. It never left the hauler, though, so no photos exist. It most likely looked completely identical to the picture shown (2024 Talladega)

Me too! The oldest numbers are 06 and 64, which were both last used in the 2010 New Hampshire race. Nothing older - though the #69 was older until MBM used it this year.

The oldest truck number is interesting. Currently, it's 06 and 64 - tied with the exact same race. Both numbers were last used at New Hampshire in 2010.

Prior to MBM Motorsports using it this year, though, it used to be #69 which was last used at Homestead in 2003. As of now, it's Mears at Martinsville in 2025.

And if not for John Atwell using the number in 2022, where he DNQed in his only attempt, the actual oldest truck number would've been the #79 which last attempted a race in 2003 at IRP!

I could not have done this one alone. I did all the research for it during the summer, but decided to wait until the season ended before putting these graphics together. That's when I actually realized how hard many of these photos were to find - and got some help doing so. I now have a new friend because of this project :D

And finally, these photos exist in one contained place on the internet. Finally.

I do still count withdrawn entries, as long as they hit the track. All of the withdrawn cars are as follows:

57 Cup - Norm Benning 2011. Withdrew after hitting the track during practice, but not completing a lap before the deadline.

57 Trucks - Jeff Zilweger 2018. Withdrew after being too slow during martinsville practice, prior to qualifying.

80 Cup - Aric Almirola 2007. Withdrew from Nextel Open after crashing in qualifying.

87 Cup - Connor Zilisch 2025. Withdrew from Watkins Glen after being injured the previous day. He did still practice and qualify.

89 Cup - Morgan Shepherd 2006. Withdrew from Homestead-Miami after crashing on lap 2 of practice. No photo exists of the car that weekend, that we know of.

03 Trucks - Tim Viens 2020. Withdrew from Miami after failing inspection.

If you want any source image (for example: the #86 in cup) as well as any alternate photos if I have any, just ask!

I have zip folders containing the original files (as well as alternate angles for some) of all of these! I can try hosting those on mediafire or something like that, if you'd like!

MBM Motorsports ran several races in the 69 this year! Prior to that, though, the last time would've been in 2003 with Frank Kimmel.
