Kyle Busch RCR and The #3 Possibility

[okfine]

The rumor is Kyle Busch is moving from Joe Gibbs Racing to Richard Childress Racing (RCR) in 2023.
So, if Kyle Busch ends up driving the #3 car for RCR, how will that make die-hard NASCAR fans react? I bet many won't like it.
Dale Jr. doesn't sound too enthused. He said maybe the "font style" should be changed but do not retire his legendary Fathers' racing number. I don't thing Dale likes the thought of Kyle driving with the #3. IMO, he doesn't like it at all. Hmmm.

And then there is the team owner who punched Kyle 11 years ago. Yes, he was punched by Richard Childress. That makes this story very interesting in itself. NASCAR drama. I guess money talks and bullshit walks.

Busch is an asshole, and that's why I like him.

Why did they not retire Dale Earnhardt's #3?

Wasn't that idea batted around at some point?

Kyle announced he will be driving the #8 car. He can win if that car is up to snuff.

I think fan polling wanted it retired. AFAIK, that's all up to Richard. Keeping that number active has some significance... Six Cup titles for RCR and one for DEI. Great for sponsorship $$$.
