Pink Racecar for Breast Cancer Awareness month….. Blake will once again run a Pink Daystar.com No. 81 at Charlotte this weekend, just like he did earlier this year in May. With Blake’s mothers continued struggle with the disease over the past few years, Daystar.com is proud to turn their car Pink to help raise more awareness in hopes of finding a cure for the horrible illness.

Blake Koch on Charlotte….. “I’m really excited about this Friday nights race at Charlotte. It’s always great to have my mom at the track with me, especially this weekend. Daystar is letting me run a pink car again to show support for breast cancer and my mom’s long battle with it. I really want to run good for her and bring more awareness to breast cancer.”

MacDonald Motorsports @ Charlotte….. The May race at Charlotte was definitely one that Blake and the team would like to forget. A blown motor ended the race for the Pink Daystar.com No. 81 early, leaving them with a 34th place finish. 2005 was the high point for the team, getting a 9th place run with Kevin Lepage in the driver’s seat.

Blake’s wife racing…. Shannon Koch, wife of Blake, will take her turn behind the wheel this weekend in the Better Half Dash. The race will feature wives and girlfriends of NASCAR drivers and benefit Motor Racing Outreach and Speedway Children’s Charities. The women will drive Bandolero cars provided by US Legend Cars in a 25 lap race on Saturday at 2:30 p.m.

Kansas Wrap-Up….. Blake struggled in practice but then laid down an amazing lap in qualifying to put him 18th on the grid. During the race, Blake stayed out of trouble and ran right with his veteran teammate throughout the race. At the checkered, Blake gave the Daystar.com team another top-25 without putting a scratch on the racecar.

Meet Blake Koch….. Charlotte will hold the final NNS driver autograph session of the season so this is your last chance to meet Blake and the other drivers for an autograph. The session will take place Friday from 1:00 p.m. until 2:00 p.m. on the Charlotte Motor Speedway pit lane.
