CENTER LINE, Mich. - Team Mopar driver J.J. Yeley will donate his facial hair
to the highest bidder in a silent auction to benefit injured Midwest Auto
Racing Association (MARA) driver Quinn McCabe this Saturday during the USAC
National Sprint Car Series event at the Terre Haute (Ind.) Action Track. In an
effort to defray McCabe's hospital expenses, Yeley will selflessly have his facial
hair shaved off in public by the individual who offers the highest
contribution to the recovery fund.
Race fans and team members alike will have the opportunity to place silent
bids under the main grandstand at the Terre Haute Action Track for the honor of
shaving off Yeley's signature goatee. Bids can be placed until the checkered
flag in the last heat race, with festivities following on the front
straightaway at the start/finish line immediately before the B-Main event.
McCabe suffered neck and back injuries during a MARA Midget Series event at
Spoon River Speedway, and has been hospitalized since the accident on Sept. 20.
The veteran driver underwent surgery on Sept. 24 and will continue to be
treated and rehabilitated in St. Francis Hospital in Peoria, Ill.
For more information regarding the silent auction, interested parties can
contact Brad Kuhn by e-mail at blrk12@hotmail.com. Cards and letters can be sent
to the attention of Quinn McCabe, St. Francis Hospital, 530 NE Glen Oak
Avenue, Peoria, IL 61837.

supplier of parts for Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep® vehicles.
