After serving as a backdrop for 11 years in famed eatery Race Rock Supercharged Restaurant in Orlando, more than 1,000 pieces of motorsports collectibles and memorabilia will be auctioned online at LiveAuctioneers.com June 1-3.

Highlights of the sale include Jeff Gordon's 1994 #24 Winston Cup race-used car, Richard Petty's Charlie Horse One used cowboy hat and Dale Earnhart's used Wheaties race suit. The entire catalog can be viewed at www.LiveAuctioneers.com.

Winning bidders have a chance to grab pieces of racing history from the full gamut of motorsports - NASCAR, Formula One, Indy, dragster, motorcycle and powerboat racing.

Bigfoot, the largest monster truck in the world, will also be a featured item in the sale. The Bob Chandler truck, one of only three of its size in the world, has served as the restaurant's advertising beacon for many years.

The items for sale are part of an extensive and authentic collection assembled by Race Rock's founder Bobby Moore, who first opened the restaurant in 1992 in Detroit. His partners and racing greats Richard and Kyle Petty, Mario and Michael Andretti, John Force, Jeff Gordon, Don Prudhomme, Rusty Wallace, Scott Parker, Ernie Irvin and Geoff Bodine, relocated the flagship store to Orlando in 1996.
