NASCAR Collector Sells Rare Dale Earnhardt Uniform

NASCAR collector Charles Ross has decided to part with his incredible collection of racing memorabilia, and in this video he talks about one of the items being sold.

This GM Goodwrench Plus uniform was worn by the legendary Earnhardt at the Rockingham race as well as in a special public service commercial that he filmed for the North Carolina highway patrol. The commercial capitalized on a bit of irony, as it was to bring awareness to the dangers of aggressive driving. Shortly after filming ended, Earnhardt personally autographed the uniform and donated it to a charity auction.

Ross has partnered with the well-known automobilia auction website GoMotorBids.com to sell his massive array of memorabilia and Diecast collectibles. You can get more information about this item (plus thousands more) by visiting GoMotorBids.com.

I knew Dale Sr., and one of his big NO NO's was making money off of his personal property that he gave to his friends and fans. I still own a few things he gave me. I will never separate from them. Why is this uniform just now being auctioned off long after he intended it to?

Rainman5566: maybe you missed the part of the video where the collector says that he originally obtained it by buying it from a charity auction. Dale didn't give this to Mr. Ross - he paid good money for it.

was it the same uniform the dale sr. wore at his '98 daytona 500?

No, we didn't believe that this firesuit was worn in the Daytona 500. The only race that the collector Charles Ross knew it was worn in was Rockingham.
