need help with identifying nascar autographs, many updates to come extreme scan heavy - sorry

nascarticketstubs · January 7, 2014 1:21PM

I went through my entire racing collection, taking pics of all my autographed pieces. I know a lot of the signatures, but there's many times I'll buy a large lot of memorabilia, and it'll have tickets/passes/credentials that have been signed, but I don't have a clue who the signature is.

That's where I'm hoping the collective knowledge of everyone who browses these boards can help out and maybe have some fun reading and researching with me. I know most of you guys are stick and ball sports fans, but I've seen a few NASCAR guys on here, so I'm hoping some of you guys have a better eye than me and can make out some of these auto's. I hate having a piece, and not knowing who signed it. As I figure each these out, I'm going to label them so I'll know.

Since there's approximately ~200 individual pieces, I'm only going to put 10 pics at a time so as not to overwhelm or clutter everything up. I hope this turns out to be an entertaining and informative thread that might help out others someday. Some of these are pretty neat.

Even the ones I know, I'll post them too so as to have a reference file so to speak.

*** So sorry the length of this page, I hope it doesn't deter anyone from trying to decipher some of these names ***

#1. Winston Pole day qualifying ticket from UAW-500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Oct 2, 1996. Signed on the back by Bill Brodrick, the famous "Hat Man" in all victory lane celebrations. Bobby Labonte won the pole for this race, coincidentally his brother Terry Labonte won the race.

#2. May 18, 1996 Garage Pass for the Winston All-Star race at Charlotte. Signed on the back by (left to right) Johnny Benson, Kyle Petty, Bobby Labonte, Ward Burton, Rick Mast. If I'm wrong on these, let me know. Famous all-star race featuring big wreck by Dale Earnhardt and Darrell Waltrip, race won by Michael Waltrip for his 1st big NASCAR victory even though it was a non-points All-Star event.

#3. 2000 Atlanta NAPA 500. Season ending race won by Jerry Nadeau for his 1st career win. Signed by Jerry Nadeau.

#4. 1997 Atlanta NAPA 500. Signed by Bill Elliott. Race won by Bobby Labonte.

#7. 1992 Unused Atlanta Hooters 500 ticket. Signed by Richard Petty.

#8. 1991 Atlanta Hardees 500 Pit pass. It's signed with a car #15. Morgan Shepherd drove this car in this race so I think it's his signature.

#9 Rick Wilson drove #8 Snickers car?

nascarticketstubs · January 7, 2014 10:59PM

<< <i>#9 Rick Wilson drove #8 Snickers car? >>

Ah, you are correct. Thanks!
Also affectionately known as "Wreck Wilson" for tearing up so much equipment.

He was in this race and finished 33rd.

nascarticketstubs · January 7, 2014 11:28PM

The first 10 were pretty easy even though I'm still searching for who signed #10, but I promise things are going to get a little more difficult.

#11. 2007 Brickyard 400 ticket to practice. Ward Burton and *UNKNOWN*

#12. 1994 Inaugural Brickyard 400; media pass from Thur, Fri, and Sat. for the Media Room and Pit Area. Signed by the Big 3 in Auto Racing history. Jeff Gordon, Richard Petty, and AJ Foyt.

#13. 1997 Brickyard 400 VIP Pass signed by Johnny Benson.

#14. 2005 Brickyard 400, $350 Tower Suite ticket, signed on back by *UNKNOWN*

#15. 2007 Brickyard 400 ticket, signed by Ward Burton

#16. 2008 Brickyard 400 HOT Pass signed by NASCAR President, Mike Helton

#17. 2010 Brickyard 400 ticket signed by *UNKNOWN* Its signed with the #38. David Gilliland drove the #38 car but failed to qualify, but it looks like him.

#18. 2011 Brickyard 400. This is an interesting piece. It's actually signed by Indy Car driver Dan Wheldon, who won the Indianapolis 500 earlier that year in May. I bought this Brickyard 400 ticket that he signed and the same week that was being delivered in the mail is when he tragically died in that horrific crash at Las Vegas Speedway.

#19. 2004 California Pit Pass signed by what looks like 3 on the front, and one on the back. *UKNOWN* on all of them.

#20. 2004 California Pole Day ticket. Maybe Kurt Busch, not sure.

TwoBitWilly · January 8, 2014 3:19AM

Number 11 & 15 looks to be Ward Burton but not sure because its different than #2 but thats what it looks like to me.

LarkinCollector · January 8, 2014 3:31AM

<< <i>Number 11 & 15 looks to be Ward Burton but not sure because its different than #2 but thats what it looks like to me. >>

I concur looking at his recent autos (also the only driver in that Brickyard with a name starting with 'W'). It seems both styles are on legit pack issued cards, probably slow vs. rushed.

TwoBitWilly · January 8, 2014 4:30AM

#20 seems consistant with Kurt bisch.
#19 the bottom one maybe jeremy mayfield or micheal waltrip
on the back Richard somebody.......I only say that because it's almost exactly how i sign my first name.

#17 is consistant with his autos on ebay.

nascarticketstubs · January 8, 2014 5:25AM
