From its quilted, flame-retardant fabric that shines, to the red Goodyear epaulets with winged-foot logo, to the sweat stains at the wrist from Jones gripping the steering wheel -- this pedal-to-the-metal garment deserves a long pitstop in a racing aficionado's collection. Two red bars circle around the uniform along with the red belt. Billboard-like stitching of ads cover the front while giant "Uno Companys" dominates the back. Laps have yellowed the white letters on the front. The laundry label reads: "Warning--Auto Racing is Hazardous." Jones, who lost the 1996 Indy 500 by .695 seconds put beautiful wear into all the right places (from moving his arms aggressively). Comes from a gentleman that worked for Davy along with the helmet also in this sale.
