Month: January 2021

I’d like to thank all of you who participated in our latest Marshall Pruett Charity Fundraiser benefitting Canteen, an Australian charity that supports young people and their families living with cancer. The sale of signed Scott Dixon ‘Start to Finish’ Championship prints raised nearly $11,000 USD for that worthy cause.

The print auction has ended but the RaiseIt.org.au page set up to accept the donations of winning bidders to Canteen in Australian Dollars is still active. Multiply the US Dollar amount you wish to donate by 1.3 for the Australian equivalent, then donate that amount HERE.

Additional fundraisers are in the planning stage. Stay tuned!

Marshall Pruett’s latest fundraiser honors the amazing run of Scott Dixon to his 6th IndyCar Championship title aboard the #9 PNC Bank Chip Ganassi Racing Dallara DW12 Honda in 2020.

Dixon led the 2020 NTT Indycar Series Championship from ‘Start to Finish’, winning the season opener at Texas Motor Speedway and sitting atop the point standings for the entire 14-race season, scoring 4 victories and 9 top five finishes along the way.

Graphic artist Andy Blackmore , well known for his Spotter Guides and livery design work, was commissioned to create this tribute to Dixon’s 2020 Championship. Beneath the profile view of Scott’s PNC Bank Honda are the point standings after each of last year’s NTT Indycar races showing Dixon’s name at the top from ‘Start to Finish’.

We are offering 25 copies of ‘Start to Finish’ at auction.

All proceeds to benefit Canteen, an Australian charity chosen by Scott and Emma Dixon that supports young people and their families living with cancer. 

Each copy at auction has been signed by 2008 Indianapolis 500 winner and 6-time IndyCar Champion Scott Dixon, 4-time IndyCar and 3-time Indianapolis 500 Champion Dario Franchitti, 7-time NASCAR Champion and IndyCar rookie Jimmie Johnson, Ganassi Racing Managing Director Mike Hull, Performance Director Chris Simmons and Race Engineer Michael Cannon.

Happy New Year!

We’re back after a short post-Christmas break.

There wasn’t much time to update this space during the December rush but you can catch up with all the new arrivals since our last post HERE.

Spark announced well over 100 new models during December, most with rather short advance order deadlines.

You can check out all the categories HERE.

We should be able to accommodate your requests on some of the more unusual stuff and National Series items for the next week or so.

We will be open 6 days a week during the month of January. Gloves and masks are available at the door, if you need them.

Contact-free pickups are no problem.

We hope to finally take delivery of our first Display Case restock since June later this month, due to the shortage of acrylic stock.

We’ll keep you advised.
