What's the only car number to never lead a lap?

I have no clue, so I'm going to take a wild guess. 85?

 

[kkfan91]

65

 

[wi_racefan]

65

Winner

 

[Daytripper]

Really, so how many laps has #1064 led?

 

[kkfan91]

Winner

For the record I guessed figuring it was a car in the 60s-80s looking into it afterwards it's also the only number to not have made 100 starts and hasn't made an attempt since 1993.

I don't have a question at the moment so if someone else wants to submit one in my place go ahead.

Close enough he was a pitcher with a good fast ball, and the name "Fireball" stuck.
