First would have been Tom Rients....Last was Bobby Pierce...I have around 30 event shirts. Over 30 Bob Pierce shirts....Another 35 or so Bobby Pierce shirts....10-15 other random driver shirts and a Davey Allison shirt from back in the day that's packed away to never be worn.
The first T-shirt that had anything to do with motorsports was a Weiand Intake Manifolds shirt that I bought back when I was a freshman in high school.
The first shirt for a specific track or driver was a Springfield Mile USAC Stock Car, Allen Crowe Memorial 100 event T-shirt circa 1984. Long since made into shop rags.
Most prized is a 3 way tie between a J.D. McDuffie shirt, an Ascot Park track shirt that I bought out at Ascot not long before it closed and a Manzanita Speedway/Western World Championships shirt circa 2005. None of the 3 have ever been worn and are actually in our fireproof safe! LOL! Truth.
The last one is a Jack Hewitt USAC Silver Crown shirt I bought at the 4 Crown Nationals at Eldora in September of 2014. It has the car that Jack drove that day on it which is the last time Jack drove a race car in competition. It probably will join the McCuffie/Ascot/Manzy shirts in the safe! LOL!
