The catastrophic damage destroyed the infrastructure of the capital of the Caribbean island nation, creating an urgent need for funds for water, food, medical services and temporary shelter. "Our hearts go out to every resident of Haiti and the family members living around the world who are mourning the loss of loved ones," said Mari Hulman George, chairman of the Board of Directors, Indianapolis Motor Speedway. "I encourage everyone in the racing community fans, teams, sponsors and officials alike to support the efforts to bring relief to this devastated nation. The support from around the world is an encouraging sight, and I hope our efforts will likewise make a difference for the people of Haiti." An eBay auction of autographed racing memorabilia will begin Jan. 15, with all proceeds being donated to American Red Cross relief efforts in Haiti. Items will be designated as part of the Haiti relief program. Initial items being auctioned at http://shop.ebay.com/ims_online/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25:
