A dramatic collision between NASCAR driver Juan Pablo Montoya and a jet-dryer truck sparked a spectacular fire on Monday night that brought the Daytona 500 to a screeching halt, and one patient racer bided his time sitting stationary on the track by tweeting photos of the crash.

Brad Keselowski made the most of the two-hour delay by tweeting a picture of the fireball from his cell phone, which was kept conveniently in his racecar.

En route to an eventual 38th place finish, race car driver Danica Patrick crashed her green car in the second lap of the Daytona 500 at Florida's Daytona International Speedway Monday night.

"I would have loved to have run up there. I would have loved to have got the experience when you actually were racing for positions as opposed to just feeling it out," a forlorn Patrick told the AP following the race. "But I truly believe everything happens for a reason."

Famous for putting their wallets where their mouths are, celebrities including Katy Perry and Brad Pitt have donated their personal belongings and talents to a new charity launched by eBay, RadarOnline.com has learned.

eBay.com/Celebrity is uniting fans with their idols' favorite causes through celebrity charity auctions where they can bid on coveted items or attend events that bring them face-to-face with the stars.

Some of the initial opportunities on the auction block are a meet and greet with Brad Pitt to benefit Make It Right, a red sequined dress worn by Katy Perry supporting the American Red Cross, and a private acting workshop with Robert Duvall supporting the Robert Duvall Children's Fund.
