Earnardt builds 1st dealership at new Arizona auto mall

Earnhardt Auto Centers, Nissan and DMB Associates are building a new Earnhardt Nissan store in Mesa, AZ, the first dealership to officially begin construction at DMB's Auto Center at Superstition Springs.

The impending complex is a 30-acre, five-dealership ensemble in the heart of Phoenix's booming East Valley.

Earnhardt's first Nissan franchise will be a 38,350-sq.-ft. sales and service facility with 34 service bays.

Washington D.C. dealers are helping NFL Hall of Famer Bobby Mitchell raise money for curing leukemia and lymphoma.

The Washington Area New Automobile Dealers Association is the title sponsor for a July benefit golf tournament.

The tournament has raised more than $2.2 million since it started. Mitchell's interest in the cause stems from the 1962 leukemia-related death of fellow football player Ernie Davis. Mitchell is now a Washington Redskins executive.
