43 spot was created for the 43 car. Hummmmmmm :laughing:
Better story Nascar created the 43th spot in honor of Richard Petty being the greatest champion ever.

NASCAR wanted to standardize the size of the fields and after some trial and error, settled on a field consisting of 36 qualifiers with six provisionals that could be used by the regular drivers. That's a total of 42 cars.
The story about the odd car, the 43rd starter, began when Richard Petty was having trouble making the starting lineup. NASCAR created a Champions Provisional to help get Petty into the field. In fact it could be used to help any present or ex-champion but just recently was used for other drivers, if a Champions Provisional wasn't used. It goes to the car owner with the highest points that didn't qualify on speed.
