What does Teresa have to do with Childress's #3? She can't say word one.
In fact, last year Childress ran the stylized #3 in a #33 vehicle, and
Dale's other son Kerry drove it. And when Childress talked about it on XM
NASCAR; he said he was going to run the #3 with Kerry at some point in the
future when the situation feels right.

"Teresa Earnhardt doesn't believe anyone -- including her stepson, Dale
Earnhardt Jr. -- will bring the No. 3 the late Dale Earnhardt made famous
back to Cup racing."

"Contrary to popular belief, everyone cannot be replaced," Teresa Earnhardt
said. "Legends live on forever. I don't think the No. 3 will ever be driven
by anyone else."

But let's take a look at your post, shall we? You insinuated that Junior
will not drive the #3 because Teresa won't allow it. My contention, which
is based on fact and not impression, is that Childress owns the stylized
#3, and has rights to the #3 when it comes to fielding a car. As I said,
she has no say in the matter. She could feel that the sun looks better in
pink or orange; but it's yellow. She loved E; hell, we all did. And she
is right that nobody will ever replace him in this sport. But with regard
to the #3 - well, it's totally up to Richard. The only thing that could
stand in his way is if NASCAR retired the number. And if they do that,
they have to retire #43 and a few others. Speaking of awesome numbers - I
think that it's great to see Kyle in Adam's #45.

ok, i guess i did insinuate, but my best guess is that rc will
give teresa the nod out of respect for the man in black. you
are totally correct that it is up to richard - i just don't see
him disrespecting the #3. it is good to see petty turning things
around - my guess is that #43 is going to have a good year...

He isn't. The #33 has run some races over the past 2 years, and he intends
to run a #3 at some point with Kerry. Speaking of Kerry, the guy is a
dead ringer for his pop. Almost shockingly so.

I am hoping the #45 has a good one.

That's a vote of confidence for ya. Teresa Earnhardt says it's
unlikely Jr. will ever drive the # 3. Let's all speculate as to
what that means, exactly.

N.

Well, Teresa doesn't have a whole hell of a lot to say about that,
considering Childress is the keeper of the "3" right now. ;-)

All Childress has the "rights" to is the shape and style of the number as it
was used on E's car, not the number itself. Teresa has no dog in this fight
either. She has no say at all about 3.
The number 3 is controlled and assigned by the same one that controls and
assigns ALL the numbers (even 43): That is NASCAR !

yes she does, the step-kid, Jr., who works for her. (In other sports this might
be considered tampering.)

So what does having the step-kid work for her mean. Nothing in regards to
if and when a 3 will return to the track. Bottom line.....neither she, nor
even RCR, decides who gets that number or any number.

Hey s., reading comp not your strong suit? "what does having the step-kid work
for her mean?" It means she has a dog in the fight. (See where my response
was? That was a clue to what I was commenting on.) I didn't say she or RCR
decided anything. I DID say she has a dog in the fight, the guy they are
talking about having drive the "3", whether it's stylized or not or this year or
in 10 years - Jr. Bottom line.

(although, regarding racing the "3", I believe you underestimate the RCR
influence. I think if RC wanted to run the 3 this weekend ... he would and
could.
