So I bought a few new t shirts this season and I got to thinking, how many shirts do I have in my draw? I counted 31, some were older than ten years old. I conceded to my wife and agreed to take ten of the older ones out to the garage to use as rags. One of my pet peeves over the years was to buy a drivers shirt only to have him switch teams soon after I bought the shirt to make it obsolete. Happened to me a few times over the years. I then started buying event shirts vs a driver shirt.

I counted mine about a year or so ago and I was a bit north of 200 shirts that included, Tracks, Drivers, Events, & Motorsports Industry. (Doesn't inclued NASCAR, IndyCar, NHRA, ect....)

I've not put on much weight since high school. I've got 2 giant totes full of nothing but racing shirts that age from late 90s to around 2015 or so. I've filled my closet up again since then. I've never counted them, but I know at one time I had around 50 Jason Feger shirts alone.

My wife says I have a problem. I tell her that I could be on drugs.

If I had to guess, Id say I probably got around 400 or more.

2 right now.

Ive never bought a racing shirt of any kind, if someone gave them to me I wore them and usually wore them out.

I had a goodly bunch of Freddy Smith, John Gill, Chub Frank, and misc. to begin with, but as many of the coolest of the cool T-Shirts that that young Bobby Pierce keeps coming out with I'll probably have to buy more dressers for my collection ! !

Zero, naadaa, nope not me. Just never have nor never will have a favorite driver. Love watching BP ride the hi side and beat that RR panel into submission, but I also appreciate when D. Erb jr hugs the bottom and passes him. A good race to me is not watching the guys up front all the time.

I only buy event shirts, at one time had 4 trash bags full, from 1980' till now. Best thing I ever did was keep them, I now take old shirts to a lady that makes quilts out of them. So I get to reuse them. I now have 4 quits and 3 smaller throws made from racing shirts.

I own 2 EPJ 44 red buck sponsored T-shirts for that very reason….jk, one is beat all to heck and gets put on when anything filthy needs doing. The other still in great shape and gets worn out on movie nights or to a ball game with my bride.

Because I have never purchased one. Over the years, say last 20, what does a tee shirt cost ?

Nowhere near Zyoungs collection but probably around 100 or so. I'm thinking some of you guys must hang them up and admire them from time to time. Most of my older ones have gotten worn out over the years.
Wore a old Kentucky Colonel shirt to a event this year and made Steve Francis do a double take. The majority of shirts I have left are mostly green. The rest are regional racers from the area. I used to buy shirts from the touring guys but then figured that the local racers needed the support more. I guess if you have a 3/4 million double stacker, you'll survive without my 25-30 bucks. I try to help out the small time guys. They're the ones that can really benefit from it.
