My first chirt that I was given was a Doug Wolfgang Weikerts Livestock shirt. Luckily, my dad bought me one for when I became an adult as well to have. So I have the little one form when I was just a little kid and an origonal I can wear now.
The frist shirt I can remember actually picking out though and getting was an Al Hamilton Stevie Smith shirt. I wore that thing until it had holes in it

i believe mine was a ShelShan 10N shirt from way back when i was in middle school. Can't remember which driver it was then but I knew Denny Neiderer gave me the shirt.

That was always one of my favorite cars. It wasn't the winningest team out there but I always liked the way that car looked.

Went to the races for more than a decade before I purchased my first shirt and that sucked! First shirt was of Keith Kauffman in the Wintermyer #1W in 1992, which is still one of the sharpest cars ever. Now I don't have enough room for all the t-shirts .... Kauffman, Wolfgang, Stevie, Wild Child, Heimbach, Shepard, L. Wolfe, K. Jacobs, Dietrich, etc.

Years down the road now, I work with Niki Young, whom i might add has always been my favorite driver regardless of what car he drives. Which these days aren't really the best.

World of Outlaws, now some 500 plus shirts later I usually only buy local drivers shirts in hope of supporting them. My shirt buying days for myself are getting fewer and fewer as I have a new grandson and I will be purchasing shirts for him. He's only 9 months old but has outgrown 5 of the shirts already, shucks, I need to go shopping. Good thing racing season is getting started lol.

Brent Kaeding 87 or 88. Got it at a N.A.R.C. show at San Jose Speedway after he won the main. I remember saying "whoever wins the race...I'll buy their shirt". $8 back then.

I'm guessing 78-79 I got a Eddie Leavitt shirt of him in a red #9 car. Mom let me get 'Eddie's the best, hell with the rest!' ironed on the back. I still have it wrapped up and put away. I was 8 or 9 at the time.
2nd one was a Tim Green in the Jensen 55 I found dropped in the pits at Knoxville.

When I first started going to races in 1960 racing shirts were pretty much non-existent. I went to races for years before they became popular and I ever bought a shirt. I can't even remember what it was but I think it was an early 80's Knoxville Raceway shirt. We went on a trip to Colorada and I talked the wife into stopping there on the way back because I had never been there in spite of hearing about it for years.
Today I'll occasionally buy a racing shirt but whenever I wear one I feel like a walking billboard. I jokingly refer to them as "cartoon shirts" and since I take photos at the races I like to wear a pocket-t so I have someplace to put my readers. I have had too many pairs of readers lost trying to hang them on the neck of my shirt so I decided to go with the pocket-t's. If they ever start making racing shirts with pockets I'll buy a bunch of them.
