Numbers used in the World Stock Car Championship

This is a comprehensive list of all car numbers entered in World Stock Car Championship races.

To be included on this list, a car must be:

A full-time entry
A part-time entry (pre-1996)
An Independent's Trophy entry (1997 - present)
A one-off entry
The recipient of a Promoter's option

Numbers by a driver's name indicate which race that driver entered.

Number Selection Criteria[edit | edit source]

The current criteria for number selection was established prior to the 1972 season. Prior to this, number selection was based solely on time of entry; as full-time teams typically submitted their entries first, they often had first choice of numbers. The main issues came when full-time teams wanted to switch numbers; if they proposed a switch to a number chosen by another team, a dispute would often occur. To resolve these issues, series officials established the number selection criteria as:

The defending series champion's team will pick their numbers first; this team is the only team that may elect to use the number 1 (only for the driver that won the championship).
Returning full-time teams who wish to use the same number
Returning full-time teams wishing to change numbers; any number conflicts resolved based on their position in the previous season's final points standings.
Part-time teams changing to full-time status
New full-time teams
Returning part-time teams
New part-time teams
One-off/field filler teams

Triple digit numbers were banned starting in 1972, but were brought back prior to the 2008 season for one-off entries. Entries using letters were banned starting in 1972, and that ban has not been rescinded.
