There may not be a more revered number in the history of stock car racing than the #4. With 80 trips to victory lane across 1,727 starts, this number carries a legacy that echoes through every grandstand in America. Gary Myers made it immortal with 30 wins, but the lineage runs deep. 1 championship were won behind the wheel of the #4. Today, Noah Gragson carries that weight, and every time that car rolls off pit road, the ghosts of champions ride along.
