Justin Wilson and Bo Jackson

Bo Jackson said that pacing the Verizon IndyCar Series field on the parade laps of the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama on April 7, 2013, in Honda's "Fastest Seat in Sports" two-seater "felt like it was Christmas morning."

The Heisman Trophy winner, who earlier in the year was named by ESPN as the Greatest Athlete of All Time after all-star careers in the NFL and Major League Baseball, was the grand marshal of the race at Barber Motorsports Park. Before his fast-paced ride on the twisting road course with two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Arie Luyendyk at the wheel, Jackson received a tour of the Dale Coyne Racing race car courtesy of driver Justin Wilson.

An autographed and framed photo of the meet and greet is among the featured items this week on the Wilson Children's Fund auction site. Wilson succumbed Aug. 24 to a head injury sustained in a race the previous day. Proceeds from the auction of racing, other sports and entertainment memorabilia and other items -- including 2016 race and golf tournament VIP packages -- will be directed to Wilson's family.
