Every signature of every driver tells a story – a story of exceptional achievement, and boundless hope.

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

Be a part of this legend. Visit the WNC Home Lawn & Garden Show, March 15-17, 2013 in downtown Asheville, NC to view or photograph this car.
