NASCAR Drivers to Benefit Charities Through Online Auction

What do Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne and Kevin Harvick have in common? If you said, "four of the hottest drivers in NASCAR" you'd be correct, but these high profile drivers also work hard to benefit charitable foundations. On Sept. 3-18, race fans and collectors will be able to help raise money for these charities and foundations by bidding on authentic race-used memorabilia and collectibles of these four drivers through an online auction at GoMotorBids.com.

Auction items will be a mixture of authentic race-used items that have been donated by the driver or teams. Items include sheet metal and parts from the actual race cars, helmets, uniforms, and rare and unique die-cast collectibles, which have been donated by GoMotorBids.com.

As a bonus, the winner of each auction will receive two tickets to meet the driver and have them personally autograph their winning item at a private meet-and-greet. The meet-and-greet with the drivers takes place Oct. 6-7, prior to the NASCAR race weekend at Kansas Speedway. The location of the meet-and-greet will be the GoMotorBids.com facility in Grandview, MO, just minutes south of downtown Kansas City.

This auction is being done exclusively on the web and there will be no live auction or call-in bids allowed. All proceeds from this auction will benefit each of the drivers’ charitable foundations, and the winning bids are tax deductible.

Several governors across the country have declared April as Car Care Month in their respective states, urging their residents to be car care aware and perform the service necessary to ensure their vehicles are operating in a safe, efficient and clean manner.
The following governors have issued official state proclamations that April is Car Care Month: Gov. Robert Bentley of Alabama, Gov. John Hickenlooper of Colorado, Gov. Pat Quinn of Illinois, Gov. Rick Snyder of Michigan, Gov. Susana Martinez of New Mexico, Gov. John A. Kitzhaber, M.D. of Oregon, Gov. Nikki R. Haley of South Carolina, Gov. Bill Haslam of Tennessee, Gov. Peter Shumlin of Vermont and Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin of West Virginia.
“We want to thank these governors for officially proclaiming April as Car Care Month,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “Car Care Month provides a unique opportunity for the auto care industry and the government to educate car owners on the importance of proper vehicle care. Motor vehicle safety continues to be a major focus for state legislatures and regulatory agencies across the country, so we commend each of the governors for making these important proclamations.”
Spring is the perfect time for motorists to make sure their vehicles are running reliably after a rough winter and before the summer driving season begins. Many independent repair shops and community organizations throughout the country will conduct car care events during April. These events have revealed that three out of four vehicles inspected are in need of some type of maintenance or repair.
The non-profit Car Care Council offers many free tools on its website to help consumers drive smart, save money and be more environmentally friendly, including the popular 60-page Car Care Guide and a custom service schedule and email reminder service.
“By following a service schedule and performing preventative vehicle maintenance, motorists can ensure that their vehicles are safe and dependable. Plus, auto care can help save money in many ways, including reducing fuel consumption and extending vehicle life,” continued White. “We encourage all car owners across the country to get their vehicles inspected this April.”
