Fan of the Month – September 2023

Pit Pass Network presents

PPN Fan of the Month

September 2023

 

PPN is proud to present our next Fan of the Month! Meet Chip Wilson, our September 2023 Fan of the Month. We found Chip on Twitter (now X) where his extensive collection of NASCAR memorabilia caught the eye. (Take a look at the video and you’ll see what I mean.)

As you take a look at some of the photos Chip provided, I challenge you to name something he doesn’t have. It’s absolutely amazing to see what all he’s been able to collect over the years. Chip is definitely a Tony Stewart fan & he’s got the collection to back it up.

Some of these Tony Stewart cars are autographed and I’m officially jealous.

Read on to learn more about September’s Fan of the Month.

How long have you been a NASCAR fan and what got you into it?

Ever since I was very, very little. My parents claim that due to an old Ricky Rudd Tide commercial, my first words were “Wicky Wugg” (Ricky Rudd). I always loved collecting the little 1:64 diecast and since my grandmother worked at Kmart, she always bought them for me.

I spy a lot of Tony Stewart diecasts.

Who is your favorite current NASCAR driver and why?

Ryan Blaney. [See if you can spot something in these photos that’s Ryan Blaney-related but isn’t a diecast.]

Who is your favorite retired NASCAR driver and why?

Tony Stewart.

The Old Goat has been Chip’s favorite driver for quite a while.

What is your all-time favorite NASCAR moment or race?

Probably the 2011 Homestead race where Tony won the race and the championship.

That checkered flag makes a great backdrop for these Tony Stewart cars.

Is there a unique story behind a piece of memorabilia that you own?

My Tony Stewart sheet metal. A friend of mine won it in a contest and swore he didn’t have room so he said “you keep it for me.”

Sheet metal and hero cards are much cooler than wallpaper
Autographed sheet metal?! So cool.

 

 

 

 

 

What is your favorite piece in your collection? Why is it your favorite?

I love collecting prototype diecast of Tony Stewart. I am lucky enough to own the 2011 Homestead win prototype diecast.

About how many items are in your collection?

3500ish

What is one item that you really want to add to your collection?

The next diecast that comes out.

There’s still some room for diecasts on this wall, right?

Thanks for sharing your collection with us, Chip! I loved looking at the photos you sent and picking out details. Every time I look, I see something I missed the last time I looked.
