Today’s question: You are named to drive in the 2022 NTT INDYCAR SERIES, and your team owner is letting you choose which number to run on your car. Zach Horrall: Back in my racing video game heyday, I used No. 23 any chance I could in various career modes or car building modes. So, in this equally-as-real scenario when I jump into an NTT INDYCAR SERIES car, that’s the number I’m putting on the rear wing. Anyways, on to the answer to the question: I would choose No. That’s the number the late, great Nicky Hayden carried for nearly his entire professional motorcycle racing career, whether in AMA Flat Track, AMA Superbike, MotoGP or World Superbike.
