He could't even wear his socks let alone his shoes nor anyone els for that matter.
 
ACTUALLY he won the 2011 championship in the #3 camping world truck owned by RCR. Dillion will field a #3 nationwide series car and the number will follow him to Cup. RCR is expecting this in 2013.
 
The number 3 currently , and also while Earnhardt Senior was driving the car, belongs to Richard Childress. If the Dillon boy does well in the Nationwide Series next year, R C should use the 3 when he graduates to cup.

I do not believe he will be as dirty a driver as Earnhardt Sr. I have been a race fan for almost 60 years, and I never did like Sr's dirty style.

I agree with you.

Furthermore, when Richard Childress drove his own cars on the Cup circuit, he ran a CRC Chemicals #3.

Yeah, #3 was the number Earnhardt had the most success with, but it's not "his" number.

Earnhardt drove a #2 for Rod Osterlund and a #15 for Bud Moore. Ricky Rudd drove the #3 while Earnhardt was running the #15 Wrangler car.

Sorry, this whole Earnhardt #3 thing is overblown IMO.
