AmeriCarna LIVE Raises $100,000 for IGNITE The 9th annual AmeriCarna LIVE virtual car show raised $100,000 for IGNITE, the Autism Society of North Carolina’s community centers for young adults with high-functioning autism or Asperger’s Syndrome. In past years, thousands of car enthusiasts have attended the AmeriCarna LIVE car show in Davidson, NC to see celebrity cars as well as classic, custom, and collector cars. This year, car lovers from around the world submitted photos of their special ride and participated in an online auction. Prizes were awarded for several car classifications and judged by Ray Evernham, NASCAR Hall of Fame crew chief and car owner and founder of IGNITE, and the event’s sponsors.
