Founded in 1982, as the NASCAR Winston Racing Series, The NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series is a short track series. The races all take place at short tracks, ranging from 1/4 mile to 5/8 miles. While some drivers go on to national series stardom, some are just weekend warriors. The kinds of cars allowed to race are left to the discretion of the tracks, leading to a lot of variety in the series.
From 2006 to 2019, The Whelen Engineering Company, known for making warning lights, white illumination lighting, sirens, and controllers for cars, aviation, and civil defense, signed on to sponsor the series. The series became the Whelen All-American Series, at some point, a series official was assigned this shirt. This Oakley shirt shows some wear, with stains.

There is an Oakley 5XL size and wash tag sewn in the cowl.
