In 2011 Jacques Villeneuve got the call from The Captain, Roger Penske, asking if he would like to take the wheel of the #22 Discount Tire, Penske Dodge at Jacques' home track, the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve for the NAPA Auto Parts 200. Not only did Jacques say yes to the ride, he put the #22 car on pole and lead most of the race. Jacques impressed Penske enough that he was offered another drive in the #22 Discount Tire Dodge again in 2012 at the Sargento 200 at Road America were JV started 4th and finished 6th. The suit, one of two custom-made by Alpinestars for Jacques to wear in the 2011 Montreal race, was then updated and worn in the 2012 Road America race. You can clearly see where a new patch updating Dodge's logo has been sewn over the old logo as well a SKF patch has covered up a former sponsor, Ruby Tuesday's. A small sewn-on tag on the interior has the inscribed suit specifics “JV –PRS 03-11”. A very nice looking NASCAR suit that would be a great addition to any Jacques Villeneuve collection. Please note that the helmet, gloves and boots shown in the pictures are for display purposes only and are not included. The suit is from Jacques Villeneuve’s personal collection and will come with his signed LOA.
