Thrilling yellow fiberglass nose cone was lifted from the four-time Indianapolis 500-winner's Penske Pennzoil car, then signed by him in enormous, perfect black sharpie, "Rick Mears, Thanks." The number "1" on the nose cone signifies just that-Mears won the points Championship the previous season and earned that honor and distinction. With twenty-nine CART wins and forty poles, there are few drivers who can hold a candle to Mears' accomplishments. When have you seen a piece such as this before? And the better question, when do you expect to see one again?
