AmeriCarna Car Show with Ray Evernham sponsored by Autogeek


This last weekend was Ray Evernham's car third annual AmeriCarna LIVE car show presented by Ingersoll Rand and MSC Industrial Supply Company.

100% of the proceeds from AmeriCarna LIVE will be donated to the Evernham Family – Racing for a Reason Foundation and go to support the IGNITE Community Center in Davidson, N.C. for young adults with high-functioning autism or Asperger’s Syndrome.

Autogeek helped to sponsor this show and on hand at the show to answer questions about car care were Andre and Bryan from our Customer Care Team here at Autogeek.

Bryan and Andre drove to Davidson, North Carolina in the Autogeek iVan then set up and manned the Autogeek Booth.

All the photos in this post were from an event at Ray Evenham Enterprises that Bryan and I had the pleasure of going to. Ray's collection really blew our minds away. The collection was HUGE, I got only a fraction of the photos of cars that I wanted to take pictures of. There was just so much to look at! Here are just "some" of the pictures we took. The background on some of these cars was just amazing, we had a an absolute blast! Enjoy!

Ray Evernham will attempt to make the Woody Lee T run 133 mph once again in the near future. Can't wait to see it!

Whats under the cover??? I'll announce it later in the thread :xyxthumbs:

Bill Elliott's 2002 Dodge Charger Brickyard 400 Winner!

Willie Clay Call's 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe. This is THE original moonshine hauler owned by Willie Clay. He was never caught hauling by revenuers who later went on to name Willie Clay Call - The Uncatchable.

Nice collection of hoods!

Any Camaro fans? This is a special one!

Sorry about the blurry picture. In case you can't read it, This was the last Intimidator Camaro ever built and the only produced in the 2002 production year!

There is A LOT to look at in Ray's collection

I will upload more photos in a while so keep an eye out. There's lots more cool and famous cars coming up. Thanks for looking!

Those Intimidator Camaros were cool cars. I think only 87 or 88 were built but only less than half had the gauge cluster signed by Dale Earnhardt. He passed away before being able to sign them all. They completed the builds anyway. There are still quite a few of those sitting in collections and in mint condition with low miles are over $40k.

These 3 beautiful Classic automobiles (dusty yes, but still magnificient!) were owned by Bill Crocker, Erin Crocker Evernham's father, until his tragic, untimely passing several years ago. These vehicles, a cream and red 1957 Corvette, a black 1955 Thunderbird, and a dark metallic brown 1971 Corvette, are now resting in the same condition in which they were recently found near Wilbraham, Massachusetts.

Dale Earnhardt JR.'s 1965 Chevrolet Impala

This Dodge Viper was a bonus that Ray got after winning a championship with Jeff Gordon. It was given to him by Rick Hendrick

1991 Acura NSX - Brickyard 1
This car was given to Ray Evernham by Rick Hendrick as well. This was for winning the second of two major NASCAR events. The 1994 Coke 600 at Chartlotte Motor Speedway and the Inaugural Brickyard 400 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The car has been driven less than 2,000 miles since 1994!!!

1952 Dodge Power Wagon - Ray purchased this restored, red & black 1952 Dodge Power Wagon in 2010 for his father, "Pop", who unfortunately passed away in the spring of 2011. When Ray bought the truck it had less than half a mile on it since being restored.

Auction for charity

Here's what was under the cover at Ray Evernham's place - His newly acquired 1958 ‘American Graffiti’ Chevrolet Impala. He has wanted this car ever since he could remember. He has tried in the past to buy this car but never could get it. Well he finally got it and did a pre announcement about it at the dinner Bryan and I attended. It was very cool to see his excitement about a car that meant so much to him and sharing the great news with us.

Will post more pictures of the actual car show later. Thanks for looking as always :xyxthumbs:
