Race for the Sun was born out of something deeply personal—my mom’s battle with melanoma. Not once, but five times. Watching her face those diagnoses with strength and resilience changed how I view sun exposure, risk, and responsibility. She didn’t grow up with strong warnings about skin cancer. But today, we know better—and yet, too many still choose to ignore the risks.


That’s what this initiative is really about. Most people know that sun damage causes cancer. They’ve heard the warnings. They’ve seen the labels. But knowing isn't the same as doing.
At the racetrack, where drivers, crews, and fans spend long days exposed to the sun, sunscreen use is still surprisingly low—not because people don’t understand the danger, but because sun safety isn’t convenient, prioritized, or part of the culture.

Race for the Sun is here to change that. We’re bringing free sunscreen stations, shade resources, and visible sun safety messaging to motorsports events across the country. Not just to inform—but to prompt action. To make protection easy, accessible, and automatic.

Because skin cancer is real. It’s personal to me. And it’s largely preventable—if we make small changes in high-risk environments like this one.
This isn’t just a campaign. It’s a long-term commitment to shifting habits, changing norms, and using the power of the motorsports platform to drive something bigger than racing itself.

this race is personal.

Fueled by love.
Racing for prevention.
