In the USAC days, a driver was given the choice of number on a first come, first serve basis, first come being the order of points finish. Champion was given first choice. I believe AJ Foyt once refused the #1 so he could keep using #14, as champion his perogitive. This procedure changed with CART and the influx of two car teams, but i am unsure how the IRL does it. I imagine that the IRL keeps with tradition and used the old USAC method.
Do i know for sure? Well, no.
