DAYTONA 500-THEMED AUCTION ITEMS AND DONATIONS RAISE RECORD FUNDS FOR THE DARRELL GWYNN FOUNDATION AT BARRETT-JACKSON AUTO AUCTION

Unique Eliminator Boat, poster and donations raise more than $210,000 for the foundation

WEST PALM BEACH/DAVIE, FL – (April 1, 2008) – Proceeds from the auction of a one-of-a-kind powerboat and Barrett-Jackson ‘08 Scottsdale poster, as well as other donations generated more than $210,000 at the Florida edition of the famed Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction, with all dollars benefiting the Darrell Gwynn Foundation to Cure Paralysis (DGF). This sum represents the largest total ever generated on behalf of the Foundation by the West Palm Beach auction. Tom Gonzales won the bid for this amazing boat, which features the signatures of all drivers from the starting line-up of February’s Daytona 500. The fully custom racing-themed craft, built to commemorate last month’s 50^th running of the Daytona 500, was donated to the Gwynn Foundation by famed premium boat builder Eliminator Boats in anticipation of the March 29^th auction.

Officially named the “Eliminator Daytona,” the 26’10” boat was created to capture and reflect the excitement associated with the iconic Daytona 500. Designed with Eliminator’s signature style, the commemorative boat is packed with numerous upgrades and is designated the Official Recreational Power Boat of Daytona International Speedway. It seats six, weighs 4,500 pounds and is powered by an Ilmor Engineering Viper V10 engine producing a hefty 625-horsepower. The boat also features custom upholstery and gel coat graphics incorporating the 50^th anniversary Daytona 500 official logo.

“We are eternally indebted to Eliminator Boats for gifting our charity with such an enormous and unique donation,” said Darrell Gwynn, founder and president of the Darrell Gwynn Foundation. “If not for organizations like Eliminator, and our long-standing and extremely generous benefactor in Barrett-Jackson, we would not be able to fund critical medical research or provide life-changing wheelchair donations to those in need.”

The boat up for auction was on prominent display on Lake Lloyd at Daytona International Speedway in conjunction with the 50^th running of the “The Great American Race” in February. That same infield lake played host to another major fundraiser for the Gwynn Foundation, the Miccosukee Resort & Gaming “Hot Rods & Reels®” Charity Fishing Tournament. While at the Speedway, the boat was personally autographed by every driver in the starting line-up of the 50^th

anniversary Daytona 500. The list includes the likes of such current and former NASCAR champions as Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Ryan Newman and Tony Stewart along with other celebrity and racing luminaries, making the boat like none other and adding to its substantial collector value.

As part of its official activities during its West Palm Beach auction, Barrett-Jackson officials welcomed members of the Darrell Gwynn Foundation to its stage in order to present a custom power wheelchair to four-year-old Seth Cohen of Davie, Florida. DGF found Seth through its new partnership with a local organization, Florida S.N.A.P.

“The support of Barrett-Jackson as one of its official charities means the world to our foundation,” said Gwynn. “They are a perfect partner in allowing us to use their unique platform to raise awareness about paralysis and to provide aid and support.”
