I actually do watch occasionally, but the sport has a real problem with nepotism and it is hard to stay engaged when the most talented drivers aren't out there. It is usually a driver like Danica Patrick that can bring a lot of advertisement in or some owner's bratty grandchild. Earnhardt Jr. probably is the only person that should have brought that number back in my opinion.

I haven't really paid attention to NASCAR in years. Probably since they wen't to the 'playoff' style finish. I fully support the bolded statement. I actually feel its disrespectful of NASCAR to allow it to happen w/o the families approval. This isn't a case of a retired number like in football, this is a legend that passed while competing in a race. The number shouldn't be touched, unless the family approves.

RCR owns the #. The history goes back further than just earnhardt.

I can't find the other NASCAR thread but Jeff Gordon said this will be his last full time season.

I hope he can turn left.
