The blue and white leather jacket is a tribute to “Rusty Wallace”, the famous champion of the American NASCAR circuits.
In 2000, Rusty was honored as the most sporting and loyal driver, despite having himself been the victim of a famous brawl triggered by an accident with Jeff Burton, who resented having gone off the track with three laps to go while he was in second gear. position. 2001 was marked by tragedy: Dale Earnhardt, his close friend and lifelong rival, lost his life on the last lap at Daytona, Rusty’s favorite circuit. The accident, apparently minor and without serious consequences, occurred under the eyes of Rusty, who was closely following his opponent. Over the next two years, 2002 and 2003, Rusty remained among the top ten drivers. At the beginning of 2003, he participated in the team change from Ford to Dodge in Roger Penske’s team. 2005 marked Wallace’s final year in Nascar Race.
