Update: The answers so far have been very informative. I couldn't find the 92 because it was listed as 192. Thanks. Anyone with anything more to add is appreciated.

Tony drove the #92 McDonald's/Powerade Chevrolet owned by KHI in the Aaron's 312 at Atlanta on Oct. 30, 2004. He started 20th and finished 11th.
Its listed as #192 on the official results as the #92 was assigned to a different team that year, but since that number was not used for that race, the number on the Smoke's door was #92. 3-Digit numbers are not allowed on the cars themselves, they're only used for NASCAR's records. See Charles explanation below.

It would be recorded as #192 on the official record because someone else was using the #92, but did not race that number that weekend.
Sometimes different cars (Owners) have to share the same last two digits of a number. For instance, at the end of 2002, Rick Goodwin [Team Bristol] indicated that he would be renewing his Nextel Cup #54 because at the time, he had a full sponsorship from Toys "R" Us [which has since gone away]. After the renewal of his license this year, Travis Carter and his sponsorship [National Guard] wanted to use the Nextel Cup #54 as well. Since no two owners can occupy the same number, NASCAR licensed the #154 to Travis Carter with the caveat that should Rick Goodwin enter an event, they would have to find another number for Carter's car to use at that same event.
In an effort for membership and points to correctly assign championship car owner points, NASCAR has to distinguish between Rick Goodwin (#54) and Travis Carter (#154). Therefore, each owner continues to maintain throughout the season the car number they were originally licensed with. The Same goes for Marcis #71 and Lepage #171, if they enter the same race and both make it, Lepage needs to find a different number.(5-26-2003)

It was the 192 but Stacy Compton did also drive the #92 in Busch and a few cup races.
