In celebration of “Five Years of Caring” for the fifth annual NASCAR Day, NASCAR’s automotive team has placed its NASCAR Performance Show Car up for bid in the NASCAR Day online auction through May 19. All proceeds raised from the Show Car auction will go to The NASCAR Foundation family of charities and the Universal Technical Institute Scholarship Fund. The ultimate “Be Car Care Aware” mobile marketing machine, the NASCAR Performance Show Car has been a fixture within NASCAR’s automotive division since 2004. It features the body and chassis of a 1999 Monte Carlo – an actual stock car last driven on the NASCAR circuit by veteran NASCAR driver Sterling Marlin for Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates. Featuring a 2008 silver, red and blue stripe paint scheme, the Show Car is detailed with all NASCAR automotive partner logos, as well as the “NASCAR Angels,” NASCAR Day 2008 and “Be Car Care Aware” logos. It will also feature signatures of several NASCAR drivers and celebrities. The “racecar turned show car” is street legal and has made appearances throughout the country including the annual AAPEX tradeshow, automotive customer and employee appreciation events, store grand openings, parades and other promotions. From Charlotte, N.C., to Las Vegas, NV, this original piece of NASCAR history has racked up mile after mile of excitement and has been a real crowd-pleaser. Bidding for the NASCAR Performance Show Car is currently underway. Fans can visit auctions.nascar.com and type “NASCAR Performance Show Car” in the search window to place their bid.
