become the first-ever four-time winner; and raising awareness of breast cancer to help those affected by this widespread disease.To accomplish both, Wanderscheid wore a one-off, pink AMSOIL/DRIFT Authority jacket and pants during the Derby’s Friday Night Thunder race program, after which he autographed and donated as auction items to the Pink Ribbon Riders. This is the same outfit that Wanderscheid won the Sweet Sixteen races with during the Friday Night Thunder.
An online auction for Wanderscheid's historic gear started on January 22 and bidding will run until March 2 on www.pinkribbonriders.com, the proceeds of which will help provide direct financial support to breast cancer patients to make their fight less stressful. Anyone can bid on this size-medium pink gear.
“P.J. is one of the highest-profile oval racers in the world,” said Jody McKay, Director, Pink Ribbon Riders. “By racing with and donating his pink DRIFT gear, he will send the message that help is available for people affected by breast cancer.”
Wanderscheid will be back on the track at the Flip Merwin Wasuau 525 in Wausau, Wis. this Saturday and Sunday.
Until then, we'll see you at the races.
