A great many stock cars have had number designations that included letters. There has been a myriad of creative car numbers, unless you had the misfortune of falling under the autocratic thumb of the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, which did not allow car numbers over 99 and frowned upon letters. While a car number having a letter included is not in the slightest way unique, there were certain letters that enjoyed a lot more play than others.

I am looking for those letters that get the most play - in front of the number.
