This Week's Trivia Question Brought to You By:


We asked you to cCome up with five (5) examples of "3 Digit #'s" (all numbers... not combination of letters and numbers)...  By unique we mean a 3 digit # that only one driver drove...  Here's a few examples:



The examples above work because they are unique... meaning only one driver drove them (in most cases...)  Examples that would not work would be #125, #301, #707, etc... since many driver's drove those particular #'s throughout the years... 

This turned out to be pretty interesting...  We received over 250  different driver's, but we eliminated any names that we knew shared the same number as any other driver's (for example, someone submitted Jim Lawrence in the #123, but we know that Bill Humpries also drove a #123 white Pinto... and Bill Beasley was listed for #421, but we remember John Malcomb also driving a #421...) 

Remember, the idea was to come up with driver's who drove a specific # car that nobody else drove...  The list below is good, but I'll bet there's a bunch on there that need to be removed too (because other's share the same #) For example, Fred Dmuchowski is listed with the #303, but I think John Kmuyati also drove a #303 early in his career, and if so, the #303 comes off the board.) 

I'll also bet that there are probably others that need to be added...  Check it out:
