I haven\u2019t seen it yet or  watched any of that. I guess I heard about it and saw the car sitting  someone in a picture or something, but I think it\u2019s pretty cool. I\u2019m  sure they\u2019ll sell a lot of diecasts and t-shirts. I think it\u2019s cool that  he\u2019s driving the 3. I think everybody thought someday he was gonna go  drive the 3 again and, really, to be honest, it makes me remember more  about running the Busch Series with Dale Jr., and always ran the 3 car  and racing against each other for championships. We both started the  same year and moved up to Cup together the same year, so that really  brings up more of those memories, to be honest, than anything. It just  reminds me of how much fun we had racing for those couple of years in  the Busch Series, now the Nationwide Series.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For those wanting to read the full transcript you can check it out here. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catchfence.com\/2010\/sprintcup\/07\/01\/2010-nscs-coke-zero-400-q-a-with-ford-racing-driver-matt-kenseth\/\">http:\/\/www.catchfence.com\/2010\/sprintcup\/07\/01\/2010-nscs-coke-zero-400-q-a-with-ford-racing-driver-matt-kenseth\/ <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That Dale Earnhardt Jr would be racing the #3 Wrangler car in the Nationwide Series has been a talked about story for months.
