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.

What does it mean? Nothing. It's Senior's widow sticking up for Senior's
legacy, and honestly I'd expect no less from a Southern lady (especially one
in control of Senior's souvenir sales revenue). I say if Junior wants to
drive a #3, and Childress wants him to drive a #3 for him, it will happen,
with or without Teresa's blessing or approval.

Come to think of it, I *think* RC/RCR holds the trademark on Senior's
stylized #3, so Teresa couldn't even stop them from using that if they so chose.

I'm proud of ya Sim.

It ain't often a DE fan can separate fact from fiction.

Well, how about this take, which is, I'm sure, contrary to
what all the conspiracy theorists would like to believe.

Suspose Teresa expects to keep Jr happily employed driving
the #8 for the next dozen years or so. Childress is not that
young; in another 10 years he might well decide to do like
Jr Johnson and retire. If there isn't a Childress #3, then
Jr is much less likely to be interested in driving the number.

How old will T be in another 10-12 years?
Think she or RC will retire first?

Altho McCoy may be correct about Teresa keeping Jr happy (ha ha),

Childress 'retirement' may come soon. He will be 62 in Sept'06
and has put up with Kevin Havoc for the last 5 years.

Teresa will be 48 on 10/29, DEJ will be 32 on 10/10.
If they don't combine their 2 uncompetitive operations soon,
they will both retire sooner rather than later.

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

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 !

Frankly, I think this whole thread is based on an erroneous theory, that
being that Teresa made that comment after Jr made his. After seeing the
NASCAR 50 Years After on TV last night I have the sense that it was filmed
prior to when Jr made his comments. Therefore, there may well either have
been an understanding subsequent to that filming....... or....... Jr simply
didn't know that Teresa had made that comment in the filming. I do not
think either of them would intentionally contradict the other in that form.

I for one think the 3 should be on the track, when you see it you
will always think of Dale earnhardt. Just like when you see the 43
who do you think of? Why keep the 3 on the sidelines so everyone
forgets. It's not like retiring some nba players number, It needs to
be out on the track.

DEI doesn't own the right to run the #3. Childress does. Little E works
for his stepmom. I suspect he could quit and go work for his late dad's
boss; but I don't think he will. He actually has a pretty solid
relationship with Teresa.

Actually, NASCAR "owns" the #3, RCR is just leasing it. If I'm not
mistaken, it is supposed to be used within a certain amount of time, if
not, NASCAR takes it back.

RCR "might" hold the rights to THE #3, Dale's stylized #3.

Agreed!

I also saw it last night, and another thing that stood out for me was,
that TE was just "commenting". There wasn't even a question asked, that
we could hear.

As with the other "interviews" they had, nothing but "comments", and
much like this group, I'm sure the "comments", were snipped for their
convenience : )

Every year we go through this. We should just make an RASN FAQ so we don't
have to cover certain topics, among them:

1) Who owns the #3
2) Who killed Dale
3) Why plates suck
4) Why getting rid of North Wilksboro was a communist plot
5) Why Atlanta stopped being the last race of the year
6) Is Janal really a NASCAR journalist
7) Does Gordon run illegal traction control
8) Did Brook divorce Jeff because he was gay / has AIDS.

and that's going to happen to the 3 too. First, Goodwrench is on the 29 now,
and only PT at that. Sure they may come back to the 3 for a special deal but
who's the driver gonna be? Will Goodwrench want to switch from the 29?
Eventually, and not too long I'd wager, we'll see the 3 with a "Cheerios"
sponsor on it and a "John A" behind the wheel and ... it won't be the same
anymore. It'll be over.
