SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- eBay and NASCAR's joint charity auction giving fans the opportunity to bid on autographed memorabilia and once-in-a-lifetime racing experiences is nearing its final lap. Fans have until 4pm PT on November 8 to visit eBay.com/NASCAR to bid on 30 unique items including a chance to be a VIP at the 2020 Daytona 500. As part of this special auction, fans can additionally win meet and greets with Chase Elliott, Martin Truex Jr. & Richard Petty as well as signed memorabilia from Jeff Gordon, Kyle Busch, Sam Bass and Richard Petty.

"We are proud to partner with NASCAR for the second year in a row," said Brenda Halkias, General Manager of eBay for Charity.

Bidding is well underway but fans still have one more day to 'start their engines' and place their bids."

One hundred percent of the proceeds from each item will benefit The NASCAR Foundation's programs for children. The NASCAR Foundation believes every child should have a chance at a healthy life.
