The last week has been very hard on all racing fans, and with that came controvesy over what to do with the # 3.  Fans want the number to be retired, and no longer used due to the level that Dale brought it too. I felt the same way in 1992, when Richard Petty retired from driving. Who would be worthy enough to drive a car with the #43 on the side? But I have accepted the decision he made, and still follow the car. Afew things to remember, NASCAR has said it does not retire numbers, Richard Childress owns this number, and in 1992, when ask what he would do with the #43, he commented that if you retire numbers, sooner or later you run out of numbers, and also Kyle Petty made the statement when Adam was lost, that he would leave his team to drive Adam's car because he could not see anyone other than a Petty in the car, the same could hold true for the Earnhardt name and the #3.  Due to the tragic events of the Daytona 500, NASCAR has put the #3 in a moratrium for one year, which puts this into the hands of the fans now. We have 1 full season to ask, write, and call RCR and ask Richard Childress to please pass this number over to Dale Earnhardt Inc. It only seems fitting that they have the number. Also, please, when you ask, write or call PLEASE BE POLITE AND COURTEOUS
Below is an idea I have, maybe you could pass it along to RCR when contacting them.
 

For the 2002 Season

Remember, this is only a suggestion, but this gives you an idea of how it would look. I would smile if I could see this on Dale Jr's. car. One other thing, it took me a long time to get this right, if you like the picture, and would like to borrow it, please email me and ask, all I ask for is a link back to my home page. PLEASE DO NOT STEAL IT.

Thank You
