Their Making A Left Turn!!!!!

Who knows how the numbering system works for race cars? Well, here is a little insight for you:

All vehicles competing in a NASCAR sanctioned event prominently display numbers on the roof and door areas. Unlike many series, especially Formula One, numbers are not assigned based on the previous year’s point’s positions. NASCAR owns the rights to each number and licenses them to teams annually. Drivers typically keep the same number from year to year, but there are some changes every year when drivers switch teams. NASCAR usually reissues numbers that teams have previously used and may allow teams to request numbers of significance. While some series, including Formula One, reserve #1 for the reigning champion, only once has anyone in one of NASCAR's three national series won a championship driving car #1 or #01 – Ted Musgrave in the 2005 Camping World Truck Series.

The numbers displayed can range from 0 to 99 (as well as 00 to 09); however, the official numbers may contain three digits if two teams wish to use the same double-digit number, but is restricted to part-time teams only. For example, one team could be #27 and the other #127. (If two teams have the same single-digit number, one team will officially be, for example, #4, and the other team will be #1–4.) No two teams are allowed to display the same number on their cars in the same event. If a situation occurs where two teams show up with the same 2 digit number on the car (typically part-time teams), NASCAR will ask them to decide who will change their number, if neither team is willing to change then the team higher in points will use the number. However, in combination races (a procedure used currently when the two K&N Pro Series or two Whelen Modified Tours hold a combined race, but in Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series, it was used when the car specifications for what are now the Sprint Cup and K&N Pro West, and Nationwide and K&N Pro East, respectively, were similar), two cars (one from each series represented in the combination race) may carry the same number during practice and qualifying as the number was assigned to a different team in the respective series. The faster qualifying time determined which team would keep its number. The slower team had to change numbers for the feature.

With this being said, in order to find this cache, you will need to do a little research on drivers and numbers.

N 38.xx xx

To find the first set of “xx” what was the car # driven by Derrike Cope in the NASCAR 2010 Sprint Cup?

To find the second set of “xx”, what was the car # driven by Greg Biffle in the NASCAR 2013 Sprint Cup?

W 104.xx xx

To find the first set of “xx”, what was the car # driven by Joe Millikan in the NASCAR 1980 Winston Cup?

To find the second set of “xx”, what was the car # driven by Ed Berrier in the NASCAR 2000 Winston Cup?

In using the checker, you may have to convert your answer.

Your answer should be converted from Decimal Degree to DMS.

Congrats to OF-Erad and Pohka for FTF 7-4-2013
