One of the more memorable moments of the 2013 NASCAR season involved Tony Stewart and his scooter. Now, Stewart is donating the custom ride to help out a good cause.

Smoke is giving the scooter to the Darrell Gwynn Foundation - an organization dedicated to providing support for people with paralysis.

The foundation plans on selling it at the Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach collector car auction in April. They're including a few extra goodies as well, including a race-worn firesuit signed by Stewart and a trip for two to the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway.

To make sure the scooter and prize package is a strong fundraiser for the Darrell Gwynn Foundation, Smoke will match the first $50,000 bid and donate it to the foundation. 

"The scooter I used after my accident is top of the line, and it will serve someone very well," said Stewart. "I want it to go to a deserving person, but I also want it to help others. Auctioning it off at Barrett-Jackson, where all the money will go to the Darrell Gwynn Foundation, allows Darrell and his group to serve its mission by providing support for people living with paralysis."
