Car Racing Journey to Support PBCC

Jim Roberts of Mount Joy will compete in the 2026 One Lap of America. His participation will support the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition (PBCC).

For the second year, his transit driver will be Rich Grant, a member of the Northern Virginia Corvette Club. Roberts and Grant will use Roberts' new orange C8 Corvette and travel to various race tracks in Indiana, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Colorado, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and Illinois. Roberts will do all the competitive driving on the tracks, and Grant will help to drive the highway miles and maintain the car.

The duo will travel about 3,400 miles for the event and almost 4,500 miles by the time he arrives back home in just over a week. Along the way, they will compete against about 90 other teams.

This will be Roberts' 17th time competing in One Lap of America. Over the past several years, he has raised more than $60,000 in total for PBCC. In October 2024 at the PBCC's pre-conference Pink Party at the Hilton Hotel, Roberts received the Pennsylvania Shining Light Award for raising more than $50,000.

Roberts will place a sticker on the roof of the Corvette in honor of each person who donates. The donor's name or the name of someone the donor wishes to honor or memorialize will appear on the sticker.
