The winning bid for this no-reserve auction, including the BaT buyer’s fee, will be donated to the Access to Care Fund of Drive Toward a Cure, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that raises funds and awareness to support those with Parkinson’s Disease. The Access to Care Fund provides financial assistance to patient care programs at regional Parkinson Foundation Centers of Excellence nationwide. Drive Toward a Cure has created and funded a Caregiver Academy with Oregon Health & Science University Hospital, Hispanic outreach and in-clinic programs with the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center to provide support groups, art classes, and music and motion therapy, and a fellowship program at Vanderbilt Medical Center providing medical residents educational certification for mobility needs affecting those living with Parkinson’s.
The winner will receive two NASCAR Racing Experience vouchers to be used at the track of their choice – one for a three-lap ride-along and a second for a 24-minute driving experience. The driving session is split into three different eight-minute sessions with pit stops in between. Timed racing sessions will begin with a driver meeting, instruction will be provided through the in-car radio, and passing is permitted. The winning bidder is responsible for coordinating with the NASCAR Racing Experience to select a date and track for the experiences.
A private tour of the Hendrick Heritage Center in Concord, North Carolina, is included for up to four participants. Around 200 cars are displayed in the nearly 58,000-square-foot museum, which is not typically open to the public.
A signed copy of Trophies and Scars, written by Ray Evernham, a former crew chief for Jeff Gordon, is also included in the collection. Jeff Gordon composed the foreword, and a video of Gordon signing the inside of the book is shown below. Ray Evernham also signed the book.
