NASCAR assigns the numbers. They are apparently happy to let
Childress retain the number without using it. I don't beleive
anyone else has asked for the number (unlike here, Childress is
highly respected by his peers).

It's generally thought that Childress is saving the number (which was his number as a driver) for his grandson Austin Dillon. John |
He is already running the black "Earnhardt #3" car in the dirt latemodels..
I think it's as much Richard's number as Dale's, so I'd be happy to see him
use it when ever he sees fit.
I know if I had a chance to run NASCAR, and they asked what I'd think
about running #3, I'd have to say...
You got another number you can use first??

Because Nascar has final say on who gets what number
BTW, has anyone asked Junior Johnson? It was his number as a driver. I
think he was around
long before Dale.

But the OP asked why NASCAR was letting Childress keep
the number off the track.
I said, why do you think NASCAR is letting him keep it off?
How do you know that anybody has asked for it, in other words....
The fact that #3 is not out there, doesn't mean NASCAR is doing
anything. Unless someone can point to a team being REFUSED the number,
then how can you even include NASCAR in the discussion.
It's strictly a matter of no one asking for it.
There are plenty of numbers not currently being used.
The #3 happens to be one.
