I've been trying to figure out what Jamie McMurray's car number is for next year. I know that he is driving a Dodge owned by Chip and the sponsor is Havoline, but is the car number 28 or 42? I know Havoline wanted to keep the number 28, but at the same time Chip probably wants to run the number 42 so all of his team numbers are all close together.
 
I think its gonna be the 42 texaco-havoline dodge because ganissi and sabates still own rights to that number and plus they had talked about that earlier this year
 
Car owners own the numbers, not the sponsors. 28 is a Yates (RYR) number unless he releases it.
 
Yates did release the 28. That's one of the reasons Sadler will be dring #38 next year.

Before Sterling was hurt, wasn't it announced that Jamie was going to attempt the race at Charlotte in a #42?
 
i would say number 42 bc when Jamie was entered in the dega race befor Sterlin was injured he was listed as #42 ___havoline Dodge
 
I think I remember jayski having it on his page a while back saying that it will be the 42 cause remember at watkins glen spencer wass in the 42 and got screwed out of the race cause of owners points
 
* McMurray to make Cup debut at Talladega UPDATE in a Melling car? Wingo crew chief in 2003? BGN [#27 Brewco] driver Jamie McMurray is expected to make his Winston Cup debut in a third Chip Ganassi Racing entry next weekend at Talladega. McMurray is expected to drive the #42 Dodge as a teammate to Ganassi drivers #41-Jimmy Spencer and #40-Sterling Marlin. Earlier this month the team announced McMurray would join the organization in Winston Cup full time next season. Other Cup races are being considered for McMurrary this season, including Phoenix, Homestead and possibly Atlanta, sources said.(ThatsRacin.com)(9-27-2002)
UPDATE: hearing that McMurray will be in the #92 Melling Dodge with Ganassi support? AND Jamie McMurray, who signed on as the third driver for car owner Chip Ganassi, will have a potent Dodge to drive in his Winston Cup debut at Talladega this week. McMurray's #42 Dodge will be the same car that Stacy Compton put on the pole for both Talladega races last year when he was driving for Melling Racing.(Atlanta Journal Constitution) AND Jamie McMurray says he's excited about making his Winston Cup debut at Talladega. McMurray, 26, who announced at Richmond that he will drive for Chip Ganassi next year, will drive the #42 Dodge with Melling Racing's Dean Johnson as crew chief. A full-time crew chief hasn't been selected for McMurray's 2003 season, but Donnie Wingo has been mentioned as a possible candidate.(Sporting News)(9-30-2002)
:) read it and you will see it it is the 42
 
But at the same time there was a number 28 car racing at Dega with Ricky Rudd driving the Havoline Ford. I know that RYR released the number because of the whole switch with Rudd and Havoline to Ganassi, but Rudd decided to go else where. So the number 28 as well as the number 42 are up in the air for next year.
 
Jamie will be driving the #28 Havoline Dodge next year. It was the sponsors request to have that # because they have always been associated with that #.
 
That is exactly what I thought N2racin. Texaco-Havoline wanted the number 28 to stay with them because they have been together since Yates put the team together. Thats why Yatres released the number and took number 38, so Texaco could keep the number and sponser together.
 
In his chat yesterday, he said they were trying to get the 28 but they may not be able to. If not they would be 42.
