Help ID some autographs

[pdas1996]

I have had this hat since about 2002 and got it autographed at Community Day that year.




I know that Adrian Fernandez, Kenny Brنck, and Felippe Giaffone have autographed it, but I don't know who the other three drivers are.

They are located more on the brim of the hat, but you can see all from both pictures.

(Honestly, I think that one of the drivers actually GAVE me the hat.)

Buddy Rice and Bruno Junqueira are two of them.

Richie Hearn is the other.

It's from 2004.

There's one that says "33" next to it. IIRC Bruno Junquiera drove the 33 at Indy in 2002, if that was indeed the year, but the sig next to is sure doesn't resemble anything associated with that name or initials to me, anyway. But it is possible that since you say "about," it might be a different year thereabouts. Because I think the 3rd autograph on the bill of the hat IS Junquiera's:



Believe it or not, I think the one to the left of it might be a hurried autograph by Billy Boat.

Trust me.

The one to the far left IS Richie Hearn and the other one in question on the bill IS Buddy Rice

I authenticate racing autographs for the Indy 500 collectors club at times and I did the authenticating for the Henry Banks auction in 2012 at IMS.

Not at all. You posted it right after I did. And you were correct.

Richie Hearn drove it in 2004.

Buddy Rice wasn't even in the 500 in 2002.

But he was the pole sitter in 2004 so he would have been a popular "get" on Community Day.
