In NASCAR Cup Series competition the #07 car has started 284 races and has 2 wins, 2 poles, 20 top 5s, 70 top 10s, and 60 DNFs.

In 2005 Dave Blaney  was hired by Richard Childress Racing to drive a third full time car. The car was numbered #07 to fit the sponsorship of Jack Daniels’ Old No. 7. Blaney started the car 36 times that year.


In 2006 Clint Bowyer took over the driving duties of the #07 for RCR. In his 108 races in the number, Bowyer earned the only 2 victories the #07 has ever had at New Hampshire in 2007  & Richmond in 2008. At the 2007 Daytona 500 Bowyer was involved in a spectacular last lap crash that enabled him to cross the finish line upside-down.


In 2009 Casey Mears  joined RCR to drive a 4th car. Because Mears had previously driven the #5 Kelloggs car for HMS, new sponsor General Mills did not want him representing them. To accommodate, RCR switched Bowyer & Mears putting Bower in the #33 and Mears in #07. Mears started 36 races in #07 before the team lost sponsorship and closed down.


Coo Coo Marlin  drove car #07 a total of 32 times from 1969-1971.
