Car Number news for Dale Jr: Hendrick Motorsports has applied to the United States Patent and Trademark Office for potential use of five numbers next season for Dale Earnhardt, Jr. The numbers under consideration are #38, #51, #81, #82 and #58. Filing with Patent and Trademark Office does not guarantee NASCAR approval to use any of those numbers, but does prevent an outside party from trademarking the specific font and graphic package used by Hendrick on its racecars, diecast collectibles and souvenirs. Hendrick filed for the #81 on July 25th, with the most recent filing being for the #38 on August 9th. There have been reports that Hendrick is attempting to strike a deal with Robert Yates Racing for the #38 next season, but my [Dave Moody] sources tell me that the deal is not likely to happen.(Motorsports Soapbox and Thatsracin)(8-30-2007)

It's decisions like these that will have him on the outside looking in when it comes time for the Chase. 81 is a crappy number!

Of course, they're probably doing what the Indiana Jones guys have done for the next movie. They also have filed 6 titles with the copyright and MPAA guys. It's all to throw everyone off. Steven Spielberg thinks that he can keep the title a secret until the teaser airs, which I highly doubt. Maybe Jr will take the 5.

81 is such a bland number. Bleh.

Put him in the 5, for Pete's sake. Plenty of legacy to carry on in that number.

81 or 38 sounds good to me.

I'm thinking 51 is a tribute to his dad also.

If Jr gets another number, and Kellogs hasn't said anything about leaving the sport then why would it matter? I mean whoever Jr's sponsor is going to be, I'm sure Kellogs can petition to be a secondary sponsor, I mean just think of the cereal isle, it'd be fill with Dale Jr's face on all the covers lol It's a huge oppurtunity to continue with that legacy. All of this nonsense numbers such as the 51 or 81 or 82 or 08 lol is just that, nonsense numbers.

Yates not interested in giving Dale Jr. #38: Doug Yates confirmed his team has been approached by a representative of Hendrick Motorsports about securing the #38 for Dale Earnhardt Jr. next year, but if Yates gets his way, there will be no such transfer. Earnhardt recently was denied the opportunity to take the #8 from Dale Earnhardt Inc. to Hendrick and now is considering other number options. The #38 currently is being used by David Gilliland. "Dale Jr., since he can't have what he wants, he might want the 38," said Yates, president Yates/Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing. "They're asking for the 38, and the 38 and 88 are our numbers. It's almost a little strange. It's like somebody asking if they can take your girlfriend or your wife out. We feel we're going to have the 38 and 88 [next year]." While Yates said he is not interested in parting with the number, doesn't everything in the sport have a price tag? "That's my dad's side of it," Yates said, referring to his father, Robert Yates. "But for me, these are our numbers, and we're set with them."(ESPN.com)(8-31-2007)
