I commend Robby on turning an ugly incident into something that will benefit a good cause.

On a skeptical thought, you don't think he agreed to do this so NASCAR would be more relaxed with their penalty, do you? Regardless, :thumbup: Robby!

Man, it's up to 5.9 mil. How the heck would pay that much for that helmet? I mean if it were an ex Danica, I would understand....

[cameraman]

You have to wonder how much money they will get after all the 12 year olds are removed from the bidding :shakehead

8 mil baby, Robby is hot!!! :gomer:

[coolhand]

damn its till going up. I dont know how ebay works but there has to be some phoney bids driving up the price.

[gjc2]

It's up to over $8 million with six days left in the auction.

Some of the smaller underfunded teams should tell there drivers to start throwing some helmets.

Who needs a sponsor?

I know, what the heck? :rolleyes: I'm going to start a Champcar team, by renting a ride in the Kirk Shelmerdine car at the race where only 43 cars show up. Then, I'm going to have my drive crash into Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt jr and then throw his helmet at both of them! After fines, crash damages and other expenses, I think I'll have enough to run a one car team for next season in Champcar! :rofl:

I clicked the Ebay link in coolhand's post, and was told the item has been removed. Wonder if they got too many invalid bids and decided to say F-it.

Dats my guess. It was bid upwards of $9.7mm last I saw. :rofl:

From the Robby Gordon Motorsports homepage (that's here (http://www.robbygordon.com) , that definitely does appear to be the case.


Given an overwhelming and unexpected response, the Robby Gordon eBay auction featuring the helmet he wore in Sunday's race at New Hampshire International Speedway has been temporarily suspended in an effort to assess the validity of the bids that have been received. It is our hope that the auction will resume in a relatively short period of time. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in our efforts to raise money for the Harrah's Employee Relief Fund.
