Quote selected text Published December 14th, 2006 in NASCAR News
A vintage racing suit worn by NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt, Sr. that was stolen last month from the Texas Motor Speedway has been recovered, police said Thursday.
Investigators believed the theft was an inside job, and that suspicion was confirmed when an attorney representing a TMS employee contacted Fort Worth police to negotiate the return of the suit, helmet and a book to TMS president Eddie Gossage, Fort Worth police Lt. Dean Sullivan said.
The racing suit, part of a promotional display for the speedway’s 10th anniversary celebration, was taken from a storage closet in the TMS administrative offices in mid-November after it was given to Mr. Gossage as a gift.
The name of the employee suspected of stealing and later returning the suit was not released.
The case will be turned over to the Denton County District Attorney’s office, Lt. Sullivan said.

told ya it was an inside job
I being an EXTREME DALE SR. fan would like to say KEEP YOUR PAWS off his sh*t its not yours do not touch it and i hope dumb ass gets jail time. You just don’t mess with stuff like that.
I hope that idiot gets put in Denton county jail for a night
or two. I’m sure if word gets out what he did, he’ll get the
crap beat out of him. Probably a new fan who thought it would be
cool. Long live the 3….
Just one question…
WHY???
That is the worse thing anyone could ever steal and he or she better pay dearly for that!!!
thats so sad. justice needs to be served and that person
needs to spend some time behind bars to think about what they
did.
Blame TMS for letting this happen . Why in the hell would they put something as valuable as that in a damn storage closet ? When I first read it I thought to myself “What idiots!”.
I agree, that was beyond stupid of TMS. Unexcusable.
yeah TMS needs to think about what the put in closets. That asshole needs jail time.
DEATH BY FIRING SQUAD. TEXAS HAS THE DEATH PENALTY
AND WE USE IT.
why and who was it - why keep the name a secret because
innocent until proven guilty. If anyone else, outside
of Nascar, it would of been mentioned.
Rest of the Story - get the feeling media knows but once
again, not reporting? I do….censorship sucks
