Re:Free the 8 - 2007/06/27 07:38 i'm not sure what will become of the #8 or the #5 for that matter but i do know that Jr wants to keep using the 8 but he may he end up using 5, then again i'm not really sure i'm just wondering like the rest of us what his number will be and who will be his sponsor, i would think its Sony since he got a deal worked out with them but really am just guessing, anyways looking forward to seeing the next batch of comments on this subject

Re:Free the 8 - 2007/07/22 14:43 It would be nice to see Jr. end up with the 8 next year. But if he doesnt have then oh well. I am looking forward to seeing what number he gets, what his main sponsor will be, etc. So Im basically on the same boat you are teammate.

Re:Free the 8 - 2007/07/23 11:12 Here are all the rumors I've heard. He wants the #8. NAscar soley owns the numbers not hte teams so it can't be bought. The #5 is also another obvious one but I have also heard #81, his busch series number. Now main sponser rumors have been, Sony Electronics, Adidas(both very plausable due to signed deals) and Mt. Dew, also a good chance being that HMS has a contract with the Pepsi Corporation. Now reality sets in with the numbers. Teresa Earnhardt will re-registar for the #8 so Jr. can't have it. Thats the way she is, has been and always will be. She's a witch. The #81, won't happen. Logically why would he want to carry his Busch Series number to the NNCS. The #5 is a smarter choice. Not for Jr. or his fans, but for HMS. It has been a team number for decades. It is a championship winning number for HMS. I really don't think Rick wants to get rid of it but he wants to keep his new superstar member happy. Thats my thought on why the 8 won't be freed.

Re:Free the 8 - 2007/07/23 11:54 Yea the 81 wont happen and thats the same with the 88 that he also has for the BUSCH series. Plus if Im not mistaken I think one or both of these numbers are with DEI. Correct me if Im wrong. And I think everybody knows that Teresa will NOT give up the 8 cuzt thats how she is(that witch). Unless some magical thing happens that some how he ends up with the 8 would be great. But thats a long shot. So the 5 sounds the best logical reason. As for a sponsor it wont matter me any who he takes. But out of those three I will be fine with. Cuz whoever he takes he is going to be getting a very good marketing driver.

The #81 is a DEI number but the #88 is a JR Motorsports number. Plus the #88 belongs to RYR on the Turd Mobile of Ricky Rudd.

Re:Free the 8 - 2007/07/24 02:23 Ha, yeah Rudd needs out as well as Jarrett. Oh, yeah, and Toy-ota but thats my personal opinion.

Re:Free the 8 - 2007/07/24 07:32 what bothers me is the fact that dumb ol yates hired fudd and gilliland instead of just going ahead and selling his company, the facts of the matter are this, fudd shoulda stayed retired and gilliland is just some fluke who some ppl actually believe the retard is gonna win, so yeah yates do like ginn did and just let your drivers go and then do all of nascar a favor and just get out because your time in the sport has come to an end you pathetic old man, as far as toyota i aint got no beef with them, theyll end up like pontiac,buick,and oldsmobile, out sooner or later, just like hoosier tires they came in and they went out, ah well sorry for all the rantin yall i just had to get the yates thing off my chest im just sick of him being in the sport

Re:Free the 8 - 2007/07/24 07:37 Trust me johnsonfan, I dislike Ginn as much as the next guy. I have liked Sterling Marlin for ages and I couldn't give up on him. Now that he's out of a ride I need to pick a new driver which sucks, but it's gonna be a "talented" young gun.
