    The No. 43 fanbase has obviously been very loyal over the past many decades since Richard "The King" Petty retired in 1992; supporting drivers like: John Andretti, Bobby Hamilton, more recently Aric Almirola, Bubba Wallace, and now current driver Erik Jones.

Erik Jones and the No. 43 Chevrolet Camaro, due to the support from the fans, will make the 2022 "All-Star Race" lineup, earning the final starting position of 24th based on the Fan-vote results from NASCAR.
