All his fans will have to buy new merchandise. :) -- Sean Higgins www.higpup.com 73 Trans Am www.higpup.com/ta/ >

Forget about the fact that we're fighting a losing war in Iraq and that some are pushing for a war with Iran. As long as Dale keeps #8, I'll be happy. Alan

No matter what # he may have the talk is that his sponsor will be Nike with Bud as a secondary sponsor (maybe a Busch car in the JR Motorsports stable). Childress will keep the #3 under wraps for a while with JR maybe driving it later in his career. As far as the #8 is concerned, that is up to the evil stepmother. With their present relationship I would doubt that she will release it no matter what the fans want. Ed
Methinks Teresa will keep it out of spite. Same with the bud sponsorship. I am so glad he's out of there... -Larry "Tim Wheatley" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Jr. doesn't want the #3, and I fully understand and support his reasons for it. Like he said. Maybe 15 years from now, when his career is winding down. Or maybe a special occasion. -Larry "gordo" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:_mHdi.5745$[email hidden]...

NASCAR owns the car numbers, not the teams They have looked the other way regarding the 3 not being used The only way DEI can keep the 8 is if they field a team with it As much as she wants to be spiteful that team, with an 8 would get so bood so often no sponsor would put up with it Not even Budwieser The 3 is a good example Plenty of new teams since 2001 and not one has requested the 3 :) And don't forget, Hendrick feels just as strong about the 5 as TE feels about the 8 Tim

From http://www.jayski.com/pages/faqrace.htm#numbers Who owns the Nextel Cup car numbers? NASCAR owns and assigns car numbers to an owner(s). NASCAR reserves the right to revoke or transfer car numbers to another owner/team at any time. Car numbers are non-assignable and non-transferable, except by NASCAR. NASCAR works with teams and sponsors when a specific number is requested. If duplication of numbers occur, which usually happens with the part-time teams, the fastest qualifier usually gets to use the number unless one team is considered full-time. In 2002, the #27 was used by Scott Wimmer for Bill Davis Racing and by Kirk Shelmerdine, both part time, however, Wimmer was listed in the #27 and Shelmerdine in the #`172 and when they attempted the same races, Wimmer got to use the #27 and Shelmerdine ran the #72, so NASCAR uses it's judgement in deciding who runs the number.(9-6-1999/9-17/2003)
Yes, but the teams lease them. As long as Childress writes the check, he owns the number. -Larry "Tim" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Dpxfi.2354$[email hidden]...

Booing is not that big of a deal. It hasn't stopped Dupont from sponsoring the 24 car all these years. Booing hasn't affected their win percentage either. And it certainly hasn't hurt the souvenier sales.

He probably has a huge "8" tattooed on his back side. ;-)
Actually..... you have stated it completely wrong; You can't lease _and_ own something. If it is leased, then someone else owns it. You don't have to write checks to keep things you own ;) But I know what you meant. --== "Larry (The Other Larry)" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:v0Cfi.136359$[email hidden]...
