Car Number History
Why the #20? - The number 20 was selected because it was to build around the brand Tony Stewart had built using the number 20, which he had in USAC and in IndyCar. Originally he was supposed to debut with Harry Rainer’s team in 1997 with Hardee’s as the sponsor but they went belly up and Joe Gibbs signed the driver to a contract. The 20 remains the longest used number with the same team in the Gibbs organization.
