Car collector Ron Pratte paid $300,000 dollars for Tony Stewart’s 2007 Home Depot Chevrolet Monte Carlo race car. The sale took place at the 37th Annual Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The NASCAR racer was purchased by Chandler, Ariz., resident Ron Pratt, who in recent years has bought several multi-million dollar cars at Barrett-Jackson, including the GM Futureliner bus and the Oldsmobile F-88 show car.

All of the money raised by the sale went to the Darrell Gwynn Foundation. Gwynn was paralyzed and lost his left arm in 1986 when his dragster crashed into the retaining wall half-way down the track.

The Darrell Gwynn Foundation exists to prevent, provide for and ultimately cure spinal cord injuries and other debilitating illnesses. To expedite specific cures, the Foundation assists in the funding of targeted research.

The Foundation is also dedicated to injury prevention, with special emphasis on programs targeting children.

The Foundation helps improve the quality of life for those already afflicted with injury or illness, by providing necessary equipment or special services.

Special thanks goes to two-time NASCAR champ Tony Stewart for donating the car.
