Blake Koch is showing that real men wear pink as he hits the track at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 28th in the Daystar #81 car that will don a special “race day” paint job. In partnership with Susan G. Komen, the all pink car will race to raise awareness of Breast Cancer, a deadly disease affecting thousands of women each year. For Koch, this is a cause that hits close to home. His mother, Angie, is a cancer survivor who recently shared her story for the first time with Daystar’s viewing audience. In conjunction with the event, Daystar Racing will be giving away pink awareness bracelets on race day as well as a limited copy of the inspiring single from Joni Lamb and the Daystar Singers and Band entitled “The Journey.” The group has dedicated the single to those battling life-changing illnesses, such as Breast Cancer, as an encouragement that they are not alone in this fight. The song will appear on the group’s latest project “Set Free,” which will release nationwide May 31st. (MacDonald Motorsports)(5-24-2011)
