News: UPS Kicks Off Auction for United Way

The 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season is coming to a close, and what better way to celebrate the year than with an auction to help raise money and awareness for United Way.

For each of the next four Sundays, a new autographed helmet or hood will be placed up for auction on eBay. Race fans will have one week to bid on the item before the listing expires and the next item is made available for bidding.

Current items up for bid:

The hood of the No. 6 UPS Ford Fusion from the May 9, 2009 race at Darlington Raceway. This item is autographed by David Ragan and will be up for bid through November 25.
