WITH DONATION TO THE MUSEUM-BENEFIT AUCTION IN KNOXVILLE
KNOXVILLE, IOWA (September 26, 2008) - Dirt late model driver Curt Schroeder of Des Moines today helped turn last night’s personal misfortune into tomorrow’s possible fortune for the non-profit National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in Knoxville and the National Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame in Florence, Kentucky.

Over the last two days we’ve also received autographed side panels from Jill George, Matt Miller and Chris Spieker. And NASCAR star Kenny Schrader has donated several unique autographed items and indicated that he will make an appearance at the Saturday afternoon auction.
