ORANGE COUNTY, CA – Window World, Inc., America’s largest replacement window and home remodeling company, will navigate ‘The Stinger,’ a 2011 concept show car and tribute to the first winning Indianapolis 500 car, to Dick Simon Yachts in Dana Point, Calif., on Friday, Oct. 21.

Dick Simon, a former Indy race car driver and owner of Dick Simon Yachts, will host several race car drivers and former Indy starters, including Jerry Grant, who will sign the Stinger.

Of the 273 former Indy 500 starters anticipated to sign the car, the Stinger has been autographed by 179 drivers to date. Window World Cares, the charitable foundation of Window World, is making a donation of $189 for each signature received to support causes such as St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Veterans Airlift Command. Since 2008, Window World Cares has raised more than $2.1 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and supported 16 missions for Veterans Airlift Command and donated more than 40,000 miles.

Currently, the Stinger features the signatures of legends and drivers, including Mario Andretti, Dario Franchitti, Buddy Rice, Johnny Rutherford, Helio Castroneves, Tony Stewart, Sébastien Bourdais, Bill Vukovich Jr., Larry Dickson, Jeff Ward, Bubby Jones and Dan Wheldon. Milka Duno and Davy Jones will sign the Stinger on Thursday, Oct. 20.

“The story of the Stinger is a story of hope we can tell through Window World Cares, from children battling life-threatening diseases to wounded or special needs soldiers who have stood up for our freedom,” said Tammy Whitworth, chairman and CEO, Window World, Inc. and co-founder, Window World Cares. “The Indianapolis 500 legends have served as inspiration to those who race, but it is the children, veterans and their families that we work with on a daily basis that inspire us to do all we can to help.”

The No. 100 Stinger, developed by John Andretti, Andretti Autosport and Window World, was unveiled at the 100th Indianapolis 500 in May and provides an additional charitable platform for Window World Cares. It features a yellow and black color scheme taken directly from the 1911 Marmon Wasp.

“Window World has been involved in motorsports for many years, and we are proud to pay tribute to Indy legends and those that make racing what it is today,” said Dana Deem, president, Window World, Inc. “More importantly, we’re humbled to tell the story of our work with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and hope we will inspire others to contribute to this worthy organization.”
