Charities, Celebrities Shine At B-J

Just after the sale of the Keselowski race car, one of the most acclaimed race drivers of all time, Mario Andretti, stood at the podium to announce the sale of the MagnaFlow Mario Andretti Edition 2011 Camaro SS, with all proceeds benefitting the Wounded Warrior Project Inc.

The Andretti Camaro raised $75,000 for the cause, with winner bidder David Clark of Onaiaska, Wis., re-donating the car to be sold again for the veteran’s charity at a future Barrett-Jackson auction.

Veteran race driver and performance-driving-school owner Bob Bondurant and performance-car pro Steve Saleen of SMS Supercars introduced another top charity-car sale benefitting Cox Charities and the Make A Wish Foundation. The 620-horsepower 2011 Camaro SMS Bondurant created by Saleen raised $100,000 for the charitable causes.
