I just got to thinking: we're all familiar with the practice of using a letter (or letter) in place of the usual number on racecars. But I recollect that very few sprint cars used a letter, compared to modifieds. And I'm talking letters only, not a combination of numbers/letters. On sprints it seems X is the most popular letter (Mark Keegan, Mike Herbert, Todd Wise). Let's see how many of each you guys can come up with. Each class. |

O was used by Ed Ortiz who raced Modifieds all over New York state in the 1960s and 1970s. To think about it I wonder if it was a zero or the letter O of his last name. |
