When it comes to the No. 40 in NASCAR, just two teams have enjoyed any real success with the number: Petty Enterprises and Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates.
In 1970, Petty Enterprises ran a companion car to the iconic No. 43 of Richard Petty in select races. The second PE car was given the No. 40, with NASCAR Hall of Fame member Maurice Petty assigned as the crew chief, and Dedham, Massachusetts native Pete Hamilton the driver. The No. 40 looked just like the No. 43, except for the addition of sponsorship from 7-Up on the rear quarter panels.
The most interesting tidbit of No. 40 trivia? All nine NASCAR Premier Series victories for the No. 40 came in Chrysler products — Dodge, Plymouth and Chrysler were the only brands to win with this number.
