It was a week-long event ending July 27 that saw over three hundred visitors and 13 bids on an original cartoon featuring Tony Stewart. With all proceeds to be donated to The Tony Stewart Foundation, the first ever War-Wagon weBauction was a resounding success!

Lori Munro, artist and owner of Lori’s War-Wagon – Cartoons at 200mph stated, “I was pretty impressed that race fans were interested enough to put their hard-earned money on the line for the likes of a piece of cartoon-art! It feels great to have a good response, and even better that all of the money will go to charity!”

The winning bid of $ 112.70 went to Tom Fuller of Connecticut, who was interested in winning the artwork for his wife, Becky, “I really wanted to get this because Becky is a big time Tony Stewart Fan”. Tom is an avid Dale Jarrett fan and has a website devoted to him at http://www.dalejarrett4ever.com

But the joy didn’t stop there. Another bidder in the same auction decided that if he couldn’t win the framed artwork, he’d feel just as good throwing some money into the pot to be donated to The Tony Stewart Foundation as well. Dana Rea of http://www.Lap57.com sent a donation of $ 57., the amount being on behalf of his own website’s domain name.

States Munro, “I was very pleasantly surprised with the generosity of Dana Rea and of course, Tom Fuller for making this auction as success!”

The grand total to be sent to The Tony Stewart Foundation for this auction rose to $ 169.70.

Will there be another auction like this in the future? War-Wagon artist Lori Munro replies, “The event was well received, and with eBay’s system working so smoothly, I will indeed do this again in the future, it would be neat to do it a couple or three times per year. There is always some fresh art floating around in my studio and it’s great to be able to share it with other race fans while at the same time, doing something worthwhile with the money. It’ll be another driver’s turn, their charity, we’ll all just have to wait and see….. !”
