The No. 3, the sport's most famed number.

Some report car owner Richard Childress, who pays NASCAR annually to keep rights to the number, chose the No. 3 because it was easy to paint on the car. In the late 1970s, the cars didn't have sticker-like, wrapped paint schemes.

However, McKim said Childress admired legendary driver Junior Johnson who ran the number in the early 1960s.

Childress raced the No. 3 from 1976-81, Earnhardt ran it the last 10 races in 1981, Ricky Rudd raced it for RCR in 1982-83. Earnhardt got back into the car in 1984 until 2001. He was killed in a crash in that year's Daytona 500.

That was the last time the infamous No. 3 raced on the track and it will likely remain that way. Earnhardt won six of his seven titles while driving the No. 3 Chevrolet for RCR, immortalizing his number in the hearts of devoted fans forever.

Still today, fans put three fingers in the air at the Daytona 500 in tribute further demonstrating the importance of numbers in NASCAR.
