Despite what most people think, Childress has more claim to the number than anyone else; The iconic, stylized #3 has already been trademarked to be used as Childress sees fit; as a matter of fact, ever since Sr. died, Childress has "purchased" the number every year since 2001 so that no one else could use it.
