the nummer 8 ain't exactly junior's own nummer...unless i'm mistaken, that was his granddaddy's nummer, so i don't think it would be all that out of character for jr to run the #3...he'd be the best candidate to build up that number's legacy, imo...and as much as i don't like it, he's established himself as a contender on almost every track. out of the 40+ mediocre drivers on the track (everyone behind the top 2 is apparently mediocre), junior has established himself as one of the best mediocre drivers out there...so until jeffrey or jimmie decide to get in the #3, i guess junior would have to be the top pick for that seat.
