Childress said if he ever brought it back, it wouldn't be the same style #3

 I'm betting it will be very similar and the car will be black.

Gator boy and others hate to burst your bubble but the 3 was Childress number way before SR. Ran it. I love SR. But if Dale Jr.has no problem with it then I don't either.Austin is a hell of a racer I don't care if its good equipment you still have to have talent and he has shown he has it

AND the #44 is back with a new team & Rutty is driving it.

Yep, it's RC's # and he can do as he pleases with it. Most likely why Happy is leaving RC [5's a crowd] and Gaughn is back with RC in the Nationwide series.

Watching the kid recently, I think the numeral zero would be more appropriate for his car.

Dillon picked up his first career Nationwide victory last week at Kentucky, and Childress said after the win he'd be open to moving the number up with his grandson. But he'd want the number to have a different style from how Earnhardt had it designed, and he'll only ever let an Earnhardt or a Dillon use the number.

Absolutely nothin'...Junior pretty much said as much after winning the Daytona raceHe's with Hendrick now; the deal put together with him in the Wrangler #3 Nationwide car had both Childress & Terersa's blessing...Doubt in would ever happen again but then again--

Don't really have a problem with the #3 coming back, it belongs to Childress and he can bring it back if he feels it is something he wants to do.  That being said, I wish it was coming back with a driver who could do justice to the legacy of the number.  Not bashing Austin, ut I'm not all that sold on his ability.  His ARCA and truck numbers were decent, but keep in mind his ARCA success came with the resources of a major Cup organization behind him and it looked to me like they pretty much had the field covered from an equipment and technology standpoint more than Austin's talents behind the wheel.  I guess I just have a hard time with someone for whom a Cup seat in a top notch ride is a birthright, rather than something earned through talent and on track results.   I know that is the way things are today, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.  Maybe I'm wrong and he'll do better than I'm expecting.

There were a lot of the same questions surrounding Dale Sr. when Childress got him...Dale's been gone for almost 12 years,  Build a bridge...and GET OVER IT!!!
