2007 Dan Wheldon Signed Race Used Chip Ganassi Racing IndyCar Glove + Bonus
This single race worn Dan Wheldon glove has been signed by him in black marker. The bonus is we found another Puma glove that isn't Wheldon's but is the same spec/color and makes a nice option to display them as a pair. The glove comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Wheldon had been a rising star earlier in his career, winning the IndyCar championship in 2005 on the strength of six race wins, including the Indianapolis 500, and nine podiums, and he had finished second in the standings in 2004 (to Tony Kanaan) and 2006 (in a tiebreaker to Sam Hornish Jr.). But he hadn't been widely accepted by the fan base until he was left without a full-time ride for the 2011 season.
Wheldon decided to commit all of his energy to one race -- the 500 -- and joined forces with Bryan Herta and Curb-Agajanian for an effort that ended up in victory lane when race rookie JR Hildebrand hit the Turn 4 wall on the last lap. That stirring finish and emotional victory for Wheldon, lifted him into a level of popularity he had not previously experienced.
Wheldon was one of the best of his generation at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, possessing a knack for getting around the big oval. He produced five top-four finishes in nine races, including a third in 2004, a fourth in 2006 and ending his IMS career with finishes of second, second and first.
