IMIS INDUSTRY RECEPTION – SILENT AUCITONOn Tuesday, Nov. 30, International Motorsports Industry Show (IMIS) Show attendees, exhibitors and race fans will have an opportunity to help 'Heal the Real Deal' as the Shane Hmiel Racing to Recovery Fund will host a benefit auction and public fundraiser as part of the IMIS Show kick-off. The two-part benefit will begin with an auction during the IMIS Show kick-off reception at Lucas Oil Stadium. Auction items will be available for silent bidding from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. EST during the IMIS reception. (IMIS credentials required for admission.)

Proceeds from the IMIS kick-off reception silent auction will also benefit Eric Saunders, a Tony Stewart Racing (TSR) affiliated motocross rider who was paralyzed in a practice accident in late August.
