No one will drive Earnhardt’s No. 3 again

UPDATE NASCAR team owner Richard Childress said he agrees with Teresa Earnhardt and hopes NASCAR will retire Dale Earnhardt's #3. NASCAR never has retired a number. Dallas Morning News

02/14/06 Teresa Earnhardt doesn't believe anyone — including her stepson, Dale Earnhardt Jr. — will bring the No. 3 the late Dale Earnhardt made famous back to Cup racing. "Contrary to popular belief, everyone cannot be replaced," Teresa Earnhardt said. "Legends live on forever. I don't think the No. 3 will ever be driven by anyone else." The rare public comment from Teresa Earnhardt comes from a one-hour television show, "NASCAR Five Years Later," that will air tonight on Speed Channel.
