The team ran the No. 76 in its inaugural season in 1963, however after two years of not competing switched to the No. 70 in 1966 and continued to use the number through the end of its existiance.[1] The team competed in a total of 637 races in the Winston Cup Series; while none of its drivers won a race with the team, they did record 11 top 5 finishes, 105 top 10 finishes, 354 top 20 finishes, and 1 pole.
