Tony Stewart Auctions off Old Spice Sweat Towel for Charity as Seen and Used in Chicagoland Victory Lane

CINCINNATI, July 16 /PRNewswire/ --

WHAT: Two-time NASCAR NEXTEL Cup champion Tony Stewart is working with Old Spice to give a lucky fan the sweat towel right off his shoulder (un-washed)! Directly after the USG Sheetrock 400 on Sunday, July 15, Stewart handed over his Old Spice towel to a charity auction for The Tony Stewart Foundation. The charity auction will run for one week and started on Monday, July 16. Fans can place a bid for the autographed towel by logging onto http://www.oldspice.com/ or http://www.tonystewart.com/. Throughout the 2007 season, every time Stewart wins a NASCAR NEXTEL Cup or Busch Series race, his Old Spice victory lane towel will be auctioned off for charity. FUN FACT: During an average race, temperatures inside Tony's car reach up to 150 degrees, and he can lose several pounds of sweat. Tony relies on Old Spice antiperspirants, deodorants and body washes to stay cool and smell great both before and after a race. BACKGROUND: Old Spice has sponsored NEXTEL Cup winner Tony Stewart for the past seven seasons. The brand is the No. 1 antiperspirant/deodorant stick and body wash choice for guys in the U.S. The Tony Stewart Foundation raises and donates funds to help care for chronically ill children, drivers injured in motorsports activities and to support other charitable organizations in the protection of various animal species.
