TO: NASCAR - ATTENTION: MIKE HELTON, BRIAN FRANCE & JIM HUNTER CC: DALE EARNHARDT, INCORPORATED - ATTENTION: TERESA EARNHARDT & MAX SEIGAL FROM: THE FANS OF DALE EARNHARDT, JR. RE: THE NUMBER 8 WE THE FANS WOULD LIKE OUR VOICES TO BE HEARD. WE ARE VERY ADAMANT IN OUR BELIEF THAT DALE EARNHARDT, JR. BE ABLE TO KEEP THE #8 AS HIS CAR NUMBER. WE FEEL THAT IT WOULD BE A SLAP IN THE FANS' FACES TO LET ANOTHER DRIVER USE THIS NUMBER
