Chris Wimmer to Team with Race Fans for a Cure® at Martinsville

Breast cancer is a disease affecting not only the lives of the afflicted, but that of their families and friends as well. The personnel at MB Motorsports know this only too well, as Beverly Mittler, wife of team owner/crew chief, Mike Mittler, is a breast cancer survivor. With this in mind, it is with great pride MB Motorsports announces its driver, NCTS Rookie of the Year candidate, Chris Wimmer, will carry the logo of Race fans for A Cure® (RFFAC) as the primary sponsor of the #63 Ford during the Kroger 250 Craftsman Truck Series race in Martinsville, Va., April 17th.

Since 2000, Race Fans for a Cure® has been spreading the life-saving message of breast cancer early detection at race tracks and racing events across the country. Thanks to the generous support of race fans all over the country, RFFAC has raised over $400,000 for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in support of its mission to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease through research, education, screening and treatment.

“I’m very honored to have Race Fans for a Cure® as our primary sponsor for my race in Martinsville,” said Wimmer. “This will be my first race in NASCAR and to have an organization onboard like this who has done so much to help so many makes this race all the more special.”

“Having lived through the nightmare of cancer with Bev,” said Mike Mittler, “I know the good that the Komen Foundation has done for its victims and their families. For Race Fans for a Cure® to come onboard with us for this important race for MB Motorsports and Chris Wimmer, it’s very special. I just hope we can do our part to promote this organization that has done so much to help so many.”

The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation was founded in 1982 on a promise made between two sisters. More than 20 years later, the Komen Foundation is a global leader in the fight against breast cancer through its support of innovative research and educational, scientific and community outreach programs around the world.
