#84 Bob Senneker, includes young Mark Martin in the #2.
I think that is Senneker kissing the trophy queen in victory lane.

When Kyle Busch raced 9 times in the Xfinity series and his best finish was a back marking 24th in 2004

There’s some confusion here.

In 2004, KB ran his first full Xfin season in the number 5, winning 5 races. In 2003 he ran 7 races in the # 87, with two 2nd place finishes his best.

KB ran 6 races in the # 84 in the CUP series in 2004 as a rook with that back marking 24th his best effort.

He redeemed himself the following year with 2 victories at the CUP level in the # 5 in his first full season.

Note I fat fingered the original post, and omitted that Mike Alexander was the driver of the #84.

I posted that stat from the Nascar historian. It looks like 2003 would be closer, but it still isn't completely correct but fairly close.

Clark’s Lotus was absolutely gorgeous, IMO.

The Aaron Adams #80 Mustang from Atlanta Ga, was a regular at Greenville Pickens during the late 70s, and most of the 80s.
It was a lot of fun and most of the top cars at the track were built by Laughlin or Hopkins. I am not sure who built the #80 Mustang. I don't think they where ever the fastest on the stopwatch but it was smooth and easy on the tires. It made a lot of late race passes to win, even during a weekly 35 lap main.

Drivers for the 80: Johnny Allen, Lonnie Pirkle, Greg Portor and Toby Portor.
Ronnie Sanders even raced it in one of the Shrine races.

The #80 ASA camaro: Bob Strait

others:
#17 Jerry Hughes
