On 6-13 a charity auction was held at Grissom Motors in Gadsden AL (Steve’s family’s business) to benefit Alec Bell. Alec is a three year old from Sylvainia Alabama who has cerebral palsy and needs special treatment that costs thousands of dollars. Some of the items that were donated were t-shirts caps and pictures from Drivers such as Dale Earnhardt, Rusty Wallace, Jeff Gordon, Derrike Cope, Ernie Irvan, Terry Labonte, Steve Park, and of course Steve Grissom, just to name a few. Some of the more interesting items were a pair of Gargoyle sunglasses and the shop towel that they were wrapped up in that bear the burn marks from the #3 car that they were in during the wreck and fire at Talladega this April. According to the child’s mother, Dale Earnhardt Inc. played a big part in getting all of the items for the auction.(thanks Bigsam)(6-15-98)
