2008 Tally Coming Soon!!!
Midwest Stock Car.com has volenteered to once again help Kemkes Racing promote their cause for Breast Cancer the 2008 FRRC Racing season. With Cory down in North Carolina at the NASCAR School the search was on for a driver for 2008. In 2008 Tanner Bohlen will pilot the #81 LLM and try to beat last years total of over $12,000. This page will provide a running total of what Kemkes Racing has been able to raise from sponsors, racing clubs, fans and other teams from North East Wisconsin. We encourage every one to help Kemkes Racing raise money for a very worthy cause. If any one would like to make a donation please see any member of Kemkes Racing.
Sign the Replica of Tanner's Breast Cancer Awareness Hood
Fans can make a donation and sign their name on a replica hood of Tanners car.
The hood has the pink Breast Cancer ribbon painted on it and survivors of
Breast Cancer sign within the ribbon and all other supporters sign outside
of the ribbon.

During the 2007 Racing Season Kemkes Racing ran a campaign entitled, "Racing to Red Flag Breast Cancer". This idea came from the driver of the number 07 Limited Late Model Cory Kemkes. Cory’s Grandmother passed away from Breast Cancer in 1997 and 17 year old Cory wanted to do something special for his Grandmother during his Rookie Season at WIR, as it was her dream to see him race. Kemkes Racing began to raise money for Breast Cancer Research in Wisconsin by doing fund-raising events which included Breast Cancer Ribbon Sales, Signing of the Pink Race Car Hood, a Breast Cancer Pink Cooler on Wheels give-away, 50/50 give-away, and several Brat Frys. These events were held locally in the Fox Valley and also at the tracks visited by Kemkes Racing last year.
Our Goal going into the season was to raise $5,000 for Breast Cancer Research. During the last night of racing at WIR, Kemkes Racing was pleased and honored to give a check to the American Cancer Society for $12,812.
Kemkes Racings’ efforts received local media attention from WFRV-Channel 5, and WBAY-Channel 2 in Green Bay, The Appleton Post Crescent and Midweststockcar.com.
This year Kemkes Racing has decided to continue the campaign to “Red Flag Breast Cancer”. We have set our goals higher this year. It is our intent to raise $25,000 for this worthy campaign from fundraising, personal, and corporate donations.
Kemkes Racing would like to extend an invitation to you to partner with Kemkes Racing, LLC to reach our goal of $25,000. If your business is interested in doing a corporate match or doing a lap donation please contact Casey at mentingc@yahoo.com Personal Donations can be deposited at any Fox Communities Credit Union location under the account “Racing to Red Flag Breast Cancer” or given to a member of the Kemkes Racing
