How come in NASCAR the owners of the cars control what numbers the drivers "wear"? For example, the Hendricks cars are 5, 24, 48 and whatever # Casey Mears is (I have no clue).
Why isn't Earnhardt Jr #8 no matter who he drives for?
Seems to me in a world wear individuals are referred to as numbers (the 48 car, the 24 car, blah blah blah) that is would behoove NASCAR to let the drivers keep their numbers, no? Especially when they can change sponsors at the drop of a hat.
Thanks!
