There may not be a more revered number in the history of stock car racing than the #22. With 88 trips to victory lane across 1,671 starts, this number carries a legacy that echoes through every grandstand in America. Fireball Roberts made it immortal with 30 wins, but the lineage runs deep. 5 championships were won behind the wheel of the #22. Today, Joey Logano carries that weight, and every time that car rolls off pit road, the ghosts of champions ride along.
