Hundreds of classic, cool, and celebrity cars will roll into Davidson, NC, for the inaugural AmeriCarna LIVE car show presented by Ingersoll Rand and MSC Industrial Supply Co. The first-of-its kind event will be held at Ingersoll Rand’s Davidson campus on Saturday, November 30, 2013.

The AmeriCarna LIVE car show is hosted by Ray Evernham, legendary NASCAR championship crew chief and team owner, long known for his creativity and innovation when it comes to cars and racing. Evernham created the car show to unite two of his passions – his support of the IGNITE Community Center that he founded in honor of his son, and his new television show “AmeriCarna,” set to air on Velocity in the coming months.

“AmeriCarna LIVE is the celebration of car culture, and what better place to host it than in the town of Davidson, NC, which personifies the classic American community,” said Ray Evernham, an avid car collector and longtime Lake Norman-area resident. “With support from our Davidson-based corporate partners Ingersoll Rand and MSC Industrial Supply Co., AmeriCarna LIVE will serve as a great holiday activity for the whole family and also raise awareness and funding for IGNITE.”

At AmeriCarna LIVE, auto enthusiasts will have the opportunity to display their cars alongside the unique rides that belong to the NASCAR community’s top stars. The AmeriCarna LIVE show will feature several of the vehicles that will be featured on Evernham’s “AmeriCarna” TV show. Vehicles on display will include:

• 1964 Plymouth Belvedere No. 777 raced by Marty Robbins and recently restored by Evernham
• Classic Carolina Moonshine cars from the 1940s
• Select vehicles from Rick Hendrick’s automotive collection

The car show will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and admission will be $5 per person. All cars are welcome to register for the event at $25 per car. Entertainment will include live music, food trucks from local restaurants, and a kids’ area.

The AmeriCarna LIVE car show will benefit IGNITE, a new community center in Davidson for young adults with high functioning autism (HFA) or Asperger's Syndrome (AS). IGNITE offers activities, skills training, and educational workshops that will foster social, financial, educational, and employment independence for its members. But most importantly, IGNITE offers a social environment where members can connect with others and experience a sense of community.
