The #28 should NOT be brought back

With all the talk of the #88 going to Hendrick Motorsports for Jr., that leaves Yates with the need for a new number.  Well, rumor has it that Yates is going to try and bring back the #28. 

Most people will associate the #28 with Ricky Rudd, and while I have nothing against him personally, he shouldn't have been in that number either, nor Ernie Irvan.

The #28, in my eyes, was Davey Allison, no one else.  When he was tragically killed in the helicopter crash in 1993, the number should have been put to rest.  But NASCAR doesn't "retire" numbers and it's up to the owner whether to run it or not.  Yates continued to run the #28 until Rudd left, then he "retired" it.  Why he decided to then and not back when Davey died is beyond me, but the number was put to rest so to speak.  Now they want to bring it back with Travis Kvapil.

As far as I'm concerned, the #28 shouldn't be back on the track, just like the #3.   Yes, some fans would like to see the #3, but I think most Dale Sr. fans would like for Childress to keep it retired, it was Dale Sr.

I was definitely not happy when I read about this and I hope to God that they don't lure Texaco away from Ganassi, as Davey drove the black #28 Texaco, it's bad enough they are going to use the number.

I know most of you probably won't really care about this topic, but this is something that I had to get out.

Your thoughts?  Should some numbers stay retired in honor of a driver?
