Total career wins: 2 Notable: Andretti's Martinsville Speedway triumph in 1999 marked his final Cup Series win, almost two years after his first victory in Cale Yarborough's No. 98. He paced only the final four laps, bypassing Jeff Burton late to take the checkered flag.

Marvin Panch
Wins for Petty Enterprises: 1
Total career wins: 17 Notable: Panch's final Cup Series win was a big one, coming in the 1966 World 600 (now Coca-Cola 600). Idled by a Ford boycott, Panch responded to a Monday phone call and jumped at the chance to drive a Petty Plymouth in NASCAR's longest race that Sunday. He gave way to a famous relief driver after 319 of 400 laps -- Richard Petty, who was sidelined earlier by engine failure but drove Panch's No. 42 the rest of the way.

Richard Petty
Wins for Petty Enterprises: 196
Total career wins: 200 Notable: Like Paschal, NASCAR's all-time wins leader visited Victory Lane with three different car numbers -- Nos. 41, 42 and the 43 he made famous.
