Ryan Newman will not be behind the wheel of the #4 Chevy as reported during a press conference early this week, when Tony Stewart announced that Newman would be his 2nd driver at the newly formed Stewart/Hass racing team in 2009.
According the Morgan-McClure race team they still have the rights to use the #4 in NASCAR competition. The #4 has been with the team for 25 years, and say that the number will continue to be used by the team in 2009 when they return to the track for a limited amount of races.
"There's some sweat and history in that number 4. We feel like it's ours," MMM co-owner Tim Morgan said.
Newman will be now using the #39 starting in 2009 at Stewart/Hass Racing. A sponsor has yet to be named.
Another team that will be making some numbers changes soon is RCR, sources say that the #33 Cheerios Chevy will be driven by Clint Bowyer and the #07 Jack Daniels Chevy will be driven by Casey Mears starting in 2009.

WOW.. I was totally consumed by the Newman mssg, I totally missed the other..
Why, why, why change Bowyer to the Cheerios car.. maybe OWNER PTS... thats messed up.. Bowyer made the JACK DANIELS CAR WHAT IT IS... maybe not so great this year.. but, hey, everyone has an off year... OH HECK... I DONT THINK ITS RIGHT!! PERIOD!!!
LOL.. ME AGAIN... WHATS IN A NUMBER???? YOU ASK... WELL HEY.. ITS EVERYTHING TO US FANS... LOOK HOW UPSET JR NATION GOT.. Im sorry for all the extra comments but, I have only a one track mind tonite...
DAMMIT... WHATS IN A NUMBER... TO ME AND EVERYONE I KNOW, EVERYTHING.. WHY.. cuz we go out and spend our hard earned money on our drivers for the numbers they drive.. YEAH YEAH.. cant be forever but, you know what.. I THINK EVERY DRIVER THAT RACES.. should have a certain registered number... lol.. SERIOUSLY... its not fair to us fans...
BUT, then again.. I guess the owner needs something for them to be recognized.. I DONT KNOW.. but its not fair... THEY SHOULD FIGURE SOMETHING ELSE OUT, like, each driver have a number, and then maybe a letter that signifies the team they drive for.. period... THATS WHAT I THINK....
PROMISE.. last comment for this article unless someone else posts a reply to mine....

"Bowyer made the JACK DANIELS CAR WHAT IT IS"
Actually, the mechanics, fabricators, designers, etc. made the car what it is. Clint Bowyer only tries to make the car turn...
