Barrett-Jackson to auction Robby's Bristol car!

NASCAR fans will have an opportunity to snap up two authentic race cars when Robby Gordon's No. 7 Dodge Charger (Lot #162.1) that raced this year in the Sharpie 500 at Bristol and Kurt Busch's 2007 Dodge Charger No. 2 (Lot #163) that competed at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, are sold. All proceeds from the sale of Kurt Busch's car will go to the Kurt Busch Foundation, which benefits The Victory Junction Gang Camp.

DO all proceeds fron the sale ofthe #7 go to suport of robbys back pocket thats one way to make some cash to help pay for a seven post rig

by the way the nascar race used cars only get about 50 grand if that at auction and thats for a die hard collector at the end of the year if you want a nascar car you can get them cheap for some teams that thought that they could get a car in and couldnt and now have to sell juat paint it any coulor you want

Are you sure it was an actual race car and not just a show car?

I can't see this thing going for 65K, the motor itself is worth 40K.

Barrett Jackson was a sponsor on the car. Wonder if that has something to do with it being sold.

I was curious reading that too. ;) Too funny.
Maybe it's being set-up for a ride-along type of car?

If you love cars (or most anything with an engine and wheels ;) ), these auctions are fun to watch if you have SPEED, I follow online as I don't have it, so thanks for finding the info.

well, hadn't planned on going to Mandalay Bay for the auction, but since Robbys going to be there, I just might have to change my plans since I don't have much going on that day. If I do, I'll try to get photos and post them.
