MOORESVILLE, N.C. -- Ginn Racing driver Mark Martin will lead a charitable effort to benefit residents of Central Florida whose lives were devastated last week when three deadly tornadoes tore through the area.

Race fans have opportunity to bid for the "Ultimate Mark Martin/Daytona 500 Dream Package" and come away the winner of a race to provide relief to those in need.

Among the items included in the package are the hood of Martin's No. 01 U.S. Army Chevrolet race car, two VIP suite tickets to Daytona Speedweeks, a day as honorary crew chief at the Daytona 500, and laps in a pace car with Martin around the famed Daytona International Speedway 2.5-mile oval.
