All so cool. ..everything played out perfect. !
We had the family texting back and forth as it sold.!
Just went out into my garage and gave my car a few 'pet- pets" on the roof. !!

There was a lot of speculation onsite that Rick Hendrick would be the buyer… he buys a lot of charity cars at B-J, pays handsomely for them, he and Ray Evernham are quite close.

After all, this would be the only way Rick was going to get one (for at least two years), being such a staunch bow-tie guy.

High marks to Ray, Ron Pratte, Raj, and Chip Ganassi for being here to represent and support the sale of Ron's GT for a great cause.

I understand it's headed to Utah.

To sit next to Carroll Shelby’s #1 Blue Cobra? Great purchase for a wonderful cause!

Mind blowing for sure, incredible. I had questions on how Ron Pratte was actually involved. I'm sure it had to be a way to avoid any legal questions down the road. either way, that was very cool!
