This is one of my most prized possessions. This is the spoiler off the race winning 12 car from the 2000 Pocono 500. The driver was Jeremy Mayfield. NASCAR fans may know that Mayfield has had his problems with getting suspended from NASCAR due to drug problems, but what makes this spoiler so special is how he won that race. He used Dale Sr's own famous "bump and run" move against him to win by bumping him out of the way in the last corner of the race. I believe the only team member not to sign the spoiler was team owner Roger Penske. The race winning move was even featured in a recent special on SPEED about the craziest moments in NASCAR! Hope you enjoy the pics!



Video of the race winning move is below the pics.

My friend was working for the team at the time and I asked him if he could get me a part off a car after it ran a race and he surprised me with this!
