<P> Earnhardt's remains were interred at his estate in Mooresville after a private funeral service on February 21, 2001 . </P> <P> Earnhardt drove the No. 3 car for the majority of his career, spanning the early 1980s until his death in 2001 . Although he had other sponsors during his career, his No. 3 is associated in fans' minds with his last sponsor GM Goodwrench and his last color scheme--a predominantly black car with bold red and silver trim . The black and red No. 3 continues to be one of the most famous logos in North American motor racing . </P> <P> A common misconception is that Richard Childress Racing "owns the rights" to the No. 3 in NASCAR competition (fueled by the fact that Kevin Harvick's car has a little No. 3 as an homage to Earnhardt and the usage of the No. 3 on the Camping World Series truck of Ty Dillon), but in fact no team owns the rights to this or any other number . However, according to established NASCAR procedures, RCR would have priority over other teams if and when the time came to reuse the number . RCR owns the stylized No. 3 logos used during Earnhardt's lifetime; however these rights may not prevent a future racing team from using a different No. 3 design (also, a new No. 3 team would most likely, in any case, need to create logos which fit with their sponsor's logos). </P> <P> In 2004, ESPN released a made - for - TV movie entitled 3: The Dale Earnhardt Story, which used a new (but similarly colored) No. 3 logo . The movie was a sympathetic portrayal of Earnhardt's life, but the producers were sued for using the No. 3 logo . In December 2006, the ESPN lawsuit was settled, but details were not released to the public . </P>
