1936: Wally Dallenbach, who made his name as an open-wheel racer, is born on this date. Dallenbach competed in four NASCAR races from 1962 to 1974. His best finish was sixth in the second qualifying race for the 1962 Daytona 500, but two days later he finished 37th in the 48-car field, leaving the race after 53 laps because of engine failure. Dallenbach also posted DNFs in his other two races. Dallenbach, father of former NASCAR driver Wally Dallenbach Jr., competed in 13 Indy 500s, finishing in the top five three times (1976-78).

65: The car number with the fewest starts in the Cup series. The No. 65 has been in 94 races. Not surprisingly, it has had the fewest top fives (one) and top 10s (nine) and is tied for last in wins and poles (zero). It is also the only car number to never lead a lap. Jerry O'Neill is the last driver of the No. 65, going 0-for-8 in 1992 and 1993. Carl Adams had the most starts, 19, in 1975. Buck Baker, who ranks 13th all time with 46 victories, drove the No. 65 twice at the end of his career and didn't finish either race.
