Someone copped Dale Earnhardt's Driving Suit, Helmet, Shoes and Gloves from a locked closet, in the administrative offices at Texas Motor Speedway!
They got a nice souvenir, but what can they do with it, other than just sit and look at it? | | | | | Sponsored Links | Premium Members do not see Google advertisements. SIGN UP today and help support our community.

Wow...thats...gutsy. Doesn't sound like a real crime of opportunity to me. IMO its too risky to be something done to just look at the new pretty toys, there must be money in it somewhere! | | | |

If your talking about Sr's driving suit then that big $$$$$$. The black market for nascar stuff is just as big as any other item. I have friend who's dad paid $4500 for a helmet worn by Cale Yarbrough (might have spelled his name wrong but what the hey). I'm sure that suit will bring a 5 digit price.

Just imagine, if someone didnt know what it was in that storage closet and grabbed it becuase they wanted a jumpsuit.. Now that they know what they have they would be scared to death to return it!
Of course that is rubbish. Anyone that would grab that knew what they were getting.
