A standing-room-only crowd that included 20 past and present NHRA Full Throttle Series drivers helped raise over $30,000 for the Darrell Gwynn Foundation, as the drag racing legend was feted Thursday night during the All-Salute to Darrell Gwynn held at the Crowne Plaza Reading Hotel.

A standing-room-only crowd that included 20 past and present NHRA Full Throttle Series drivers helped raise over $30,000 for the Darrell Gwynn Foundation, as the drag racing legend was feted Thursday night during the All-Salute to Darrell Gwynn held at the Crowne Plaza Reading Hotel.
 
The evening commemorated the 20th anniversary of the NHRA vs. NASCAR softball game that raised funds for Gwynn months after a racing accident left him paralyzed.
 
The evening, which was hosted by retired NHRA announcer Dave McClelland, included an autograph session, the induction of the 2010 Maple Grove Raceway Walk of Fame, an auction and a presentation, as Gwynn, Kenny Bernstein and other players remembered the charity softball game that drew 13,000 fans and raised $150,000 for Gwynn’s medical bills.
