Tony Stewart has not only been racing for over 40 years now but also winning championships since 1980. He is driven in so many different types of cars and racing series it would be just as easy to write a novel than to list them all.
He is most know of course for winning 3 Nascar Cup championships and an INDYCAR series tittle. Tony’s passion for racing has also transitioned over to collecting and when it comes to helmet collecting, Tony has one of the biggest collections in the world.
When you have over 350 helmets and need them all documenting to find out the history, races they competed in, value of each piece of history and the stamp of authenticity on each piece, Tony made just one phone call. That call was kindly made to his good friend, fellow collector and our very own memorabilia expert Darren L. Jack.
Recently Darren and his Hall of Fame Collection team headed to Indiana to do the job. Three full days and one all nighter later with the help of Fat Heads Eye ware who jumped in to help, each helmet has been photographed and authenticated. The helmets were now ready to go back into the very clean custom made cabinets in Tony’s home. Here’s a few highlights from the visit in part one of our visit to the Tony Stewart Helmet Collection.
