FORT WORTH, Texas -- The Fort Worth Police Department is investigating the theft of a vintage racing suit once worn by Dale Earnhardt Sr., according to a department news release.

Earnhardt’s racing suit, along with a helmet, racing gloves and a pair of racing shoes turned up missing from a locked storage closet earlier this month at the Texas Motor Speedway, the release read.

The racing suit was part of a promotional display that was taken down on Nov. 5, according to the release, and the items were then boxed up and placed in storage.

A week later, staffers discovered that the items, which are valued at up to $100,000, were missing, the release read.

The suit was housed at the TMS because it was donated to its president, Eddie Gossage.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 817-469-TIPS. There is a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the person(s) responsible.
