Racing 2 Cure is a local Charlotte Metro area charity aimed at helping the human side of cancer by providing assistant to pay for utility bills, car payments, rent, day care, etc. The foundation was founded in 2011 by Hunter Stewart, whose mother, Alycia Stewart, is a two time Breast Cancer survivor and is currently undergoing several surgeries, Chemotherapy, and radiation treatments. In 2011, the program launched an online fundraising website which allows drivers from the dirt to asphalt to register to help Racing 2 Cure raise funds as well as help support their racing programs. Drivers are allowed to choose from several options on how their fan donations will be split between Racing 2 Cure and the race team. The funding that goes back to the team, allows the charity to continue to get donations by allowing drivers to fight cancer one lap at a time.

“Racing 2 Cure is very grateful for the support and organization of this event by Brad Carpenter, his team at Last Lap Marketing, and the assist of Racing 2 Cure driver Andrew Mulhearn. Events like this go a long way to not only raise funds but to also help promote Racing 2 Cure’s mission of helping families fighting cancer,” Alyica Stewart said. “What Last Lap Marketing has been able to organize is amazing!  On behalf of the Racing 2 Cure Team and the families that receive help from R2C, we would like to thank Last Lap Marketing and its founder Brad Carpenter for all of their time and hard work! Furthermore, thank you to the staff at Victory Lane Karting for their hard work in making sure the racing side of the event goes smoothly.”

Last Lap Marketing has been working with Racing 2 Cure for just over a year and is excited to take the relationship to a new level. Being an official promoter ambassador for Racing 2 Cure, Last Lap Marketing has brought on more than fifteen drivers to the program as well as having one of its clients, Garrett Marchant, as a Racing 2 Cure Ambassador.

“This event is something that I have looked forward putting together ever since we started our partnership with Racing 2 Cure,” said Last Lap Marketing Owner, Bradley Carpenter. “Everyone at Victory Lane Karting and Racing 2 Cure have made planning this event an ease and cannot wait to see how much is raised for such a deserving charity. Our goal and hope is to host this event each year and continue to make it bigger and better!”
