Custom chopper to raise money for Make-A-Wish

JR Motorsports and The Cycle Xchange have teamed up in 2006 to create a one-of-a-kind custom chopper benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Central and Western North Carolina.

The eBay Charity listing, located at www.ebay.com/dalejr, will begin Sept. 29. Dale Earnhardt Jr. will present the TCX/Dale Jr. Charity Chopper to the winning bidder Oct. 24.

The project was established to raise awareness of Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s commitment to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, as well as to raise significant dollars in support of this worthy cause.

Dale Jr. has met more than 100 kids through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. He is honored that so many children were given the chance to have one wish, and that was to meet him.

Recently, Dale Jr. raised in excess of $40,000 through eBay by auctioning the helmet and uniform he wore during the filming of the NASCAR commercial Capture the Flag. The television spot aired on the FOX Network during the NFL postseason.

The Cycle Xchange is a custom motorcycle design, manufacturing and repair facility led by Jeff and Brian Clark in Matthews, N.C.

Jeff Clark has been involved in the sport of NASCAR as an engine designer/builder, car tuner and jack-man for the past 16 years. Currently a consultant for Dale Earnhardt Incorporated's engine department, Jeff continues to serve as a crewmember for the No. 8 Budweiser Chevrolet during Nextel Cup weekends.

Brian Clark was an integral member of Dale Jarrett's 1999 Winston Cup Series championship team...just one of the many highlights during his seven years in NASCAR.
