📖 History for this type

🆕 Report a new high

This no-charge optional plate debuted in 2006 using traditional embossing in the AM prefix, high embossed AM99485. AM moved to suffix and plates changed to flat at low 08714AM within a year. Subsequent letter issues moved in an alternating 'prefix first followed by suffix' progression from AN through BC. All of this ended at series high BD37409 in 2013.

Graphics and numbering format were changed in October 2013 to this revised design with 0000AA0 numbering, see History tab for examples.

Numbering format was revised again in December 2022 making numbers “randomized.” Prefix A0 essentially acts as a county code and the other 5-digits increment in the same manner as standard plates.

Design was described to us as having the Sprint Cup logo on the left, but we were unable to find anything like that on the ADOR website. We're showing the generic NASCAR design here for the time being. Do you have a photo?
