Up for sale is a legendary piece of mid-90s open-wheel racing history. This original, officially licensed 1996 Target Chip Ganassi Racing commemorative t-shirt celebrates Jimmy Vasser’s historic PPG Indy Car World Series Championship.
This shirt features an awesome dual-sided print by Indy Screen Print. The front showcases the 1996 Championship team graphics, while the back features a massive, vibrant, full-color graphic of the iconic #12 Target Reynard/Ford roaring down the track.
AUTHENTIC IN-PERSON AUTOGRAPHS
This isn't a mass-produced souvenir print with stamped signatures—this shirt is a true piece of track history. My husband obtained all of these signatures face-to-face and by hand at the track during the historic 1996 season.
It is heavily covered in authentic permanent marker signatures from the championship-winning drivers and core crew, 23 signatures including:
Chip Ganassi: Former driver and team owner.
Alex Zanardi: The racing legend and 1996 Rookie of the Year signed prominently right above the front Target logo ("Zanardi #4").
Mike Hull: Longtime Managing Director and team management icon ("M. Hull").
Rick Rinaman: The legendary chief mechanic for Ganassi during this golden era.
Core Team Crew: Beautifully surrounded by hand-signatures from the mechanics and engineers who built a racing dynasty.
Condition: Fabric is a bright, crisp white with one small pea size stain on front. The screen-printed graphics on both the front and back are incredibly vibrant with minimal wear. An absolute gem for its age. (See photos for exact autograph placement).
