Kyle Larson Helps Paint Martinsville Speedway”™s Curbs Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness:

In what has become an annual tradition at the only short-track in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, breast cancer survivors joined Sprint Cup Series driver Kyle Larson and Martinsville Speedway President Clay Campbell in painting the curbs pink for the Goody’s Headache Relief Shot 500 on November 1. The event to raise breast cancer awareness is a part of Team Chevy and the American Cancer Society’s #IDriveFor social media campaign. “To paint them pink and help them stand out even more definitely helps raise awareness for breast cancer,” Larson said. “To be able to come here and play a small part to help those families beat it is pretty cool.” This marks the second year Martinsville Speedway has had a driver on hand to help paint the curbs, but pink curbs in October is something that dates back even longer. “We’re honored to be able to use our iconic curbs in this way to promote Breast Cancer Awareness month,” Campbell said. “We all know someone who has been diagnosed with this terrible disease. I’m very pleased that on November 1, millions of people will see these pink curbs and be reminded that we all can play a part in finding a cure. We’ve done this for a number of years and will continue to each year.” In addition to the pink curbs, a pink Chevy SS will pace the field in the Goody’s Headache Relief Shot 500 and Team Chevy will donate $350 to the American Cancer Society for every caution lap run during the race.
