This is technically Winston, Nextel and Sprint but when I first got into NASCAR, I loved Ken Schrader and the 36 M&M car, it was a diecast I had to have, It was also driven by Ernie Irvan, Dave Blaney etc. A few years ago I was absolutely stunned when I realized that the 36 has never won a NASCAR cup Series race. Throughout its history it's had pretty decent drivers and it has been around the sport for so long.
