so far in 2006, after 10 races, five drivers have made all the races and not used a Lucky Dog/Lap Back pass: #20-Stewart, #25-Vickers, #31-Burton, #41-Sorenson, #43-Labonte. #96/44-Terry Labonte and #14-Sterling Markin have used the most at five [Labonte has only run 6 races] with #11-Hamlin and #88-Jarrett each using four. In 2006, one driver has benefitted from the Lucky Dog pass and won the race: #2-Kurt Busch at Bristol. #8-Dale Earnhardt Jr. [3rd at Atlanta] and #16-Greg Bifle [4th at Richmond] are the only other drivers this year to get a top five after using the pass. Since the Lucky Dog Pass came to be at Dover in September 2003, five drivers have won six races after getting the pass. For more, who got the passes for each race and totals along with some tidbits, see my Lucky Dog page.(5-8-2006)
