Yah, that was one of those rumers flying around after E's death. I still don't think we will ever see a black #3 in NASCAR again.

If you do there will be alot of Dale fans very mad about the use of his number even if it is his son.

GOOD POINT, JR WOULD BE THE ONLY ONE TO PULL IT OFF, AND I DONT THINK RCR WOULD BE STUPID ENOUGH TO EVEN CONSIDER ANYONE ELSE!
I HAD HEARD THAT IN ORDER TO KEEP THE NUMBER ALIVE RCR HAS TO BRING IT OUT EVERY SO OFTEN??? ALSO IT HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETELY RETIRED!

ANYONE GOING TO PHX ????

From Wikipedia:

[A common misconception is that Richard Childress Racing "owns the rights" to the #3 (fueled by the fact that Kevin Harvick's car has a little #3 as a homage to Earnhardt) but in fact no team owns the rights to this or any other number: NASCAR decides who uses which number. However, according to established NASCAR procedures, RCR would have priority over other teams if and when the time came to reuse the number. RCR and the Earnhardt estate do own the rights to various black and red #3 logos used during Earnhardt's lifetime: however these rights would not prevent a future racing team from using a different #3 design. (Also, a new #3 team would in any case need to create logos which fit in with their sponsor's logos.)]

Tige2ski,
I will be in Phoenix. Looking foreward to it

I need to go to a nascar race. There has been talk about Jr moving numbers, but many people would think it would be a bad career move to try and take over your dads role, I kind of agree you know? I mean who knows really, but It could be hard/devestating. Lots of people might get pissed that they try and let jr run his dad's number, but then again lot of people would take it as a compliment type deal, ya know?

YEP! IT WOULD PUT JR, RIGHT BACK IN THE SITUATION OF TRYING TO FILL HIS DAD'S SHOES ....EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM...IT WOULD STILL BE PRETTY COOL THOUGH!
