Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s photo-matched 2005 Nascar Nextel Cup signed race-worn fire suit has seen more than its fair share of duty, including at least seven races and the 2006 Nascar “Capture the Flag” TV ad! This fire suit was originally obtained through a charity auction on eBay sponsored by Make-A-Wish Foundation of Central and Western North Carolina. The original listing mentions that since the fire suit was worn by Dale Jr. it has been in the possession of JR Motorsports, a Nascar team co-owned by Dale Jr. From research made we conclude that Dale Jr. wore this suit in at least seven races between the New England 300 on July 16, 2005 and the Sylvania 300 on September 16, 2005. He also wore this suit, which is signed twice in bold black marker, for the shooting of the 2006 commercial "Capture the Flag" where grease and/or dirt were added for visual effect. It is photo-matched to the particular placement of the "U" of Bud and of the "of" below it across the front. Comes with a number of documents, including two pictures of Dale Jr. with the suit, an appraisal report, and printed pictures of the races we found he wore this fire suit.
