United Breast Cancer Foundation is pleased to be working with NASCAR driver JJ Yeley of Rick Ware Racing and Our Motorsports in conjunction with the American Media Group for the second consecutive year. UBCF and JJ Yeley have joined forces to raise awareness for breast cancer during the 2021 NASCAR season, beginning with the Drydene 200 Xfinity race on May 15th, and concluding on November 6th with the NASCAR Xfinity Series Championship race at Phoenix Raceway. UBCF is the title sponsor of the Drive for the Cure 250 race on October 9th at Charlotte Motor Speedway to #DriveOutBreastCancer.
UBCF celebrates more than 20 years of service to the breast cancer community and is proud to be nationally recognized by earning the GuideStar 2021 Platinum Seal of Transparency as well as a 3 Star Charity Navigator rating.
JJ Yeley, who joined UBCF’s board of directors in 2021, is driving car #23 for Our Motorsports at the Dover International Speedway in the Drydene 200 Xfinity race this Saturday, May 15th.

JJ Yeley is honored to partner with UBCF to provide public awareness and raise exposure for UBCF services. JJ Yeley shared, “I’m very excited and proud to be working with the United Breast Cancer Foundation again this year. The work that UBCF does to empower those affected by breast cancer is nothing less than extraordinary. The support they offer to women and their families brings relief and hope during the most trying time of their lives.” Yeley has been personally impacted by breast cancer and shared, “When my mother-in-law was fighting her battle with breast cancer, we saw how devastating it can be and just how important UBCF’s work is to the community. I look forward to running UBCF’s car #23 this October in the ‘Drive for the Cure 250 presented by Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina’ and bringing maximum awareness to the incredible work of the Foundation.”
UBCF Executive Director, Ms. Stephanie Mastroianni said, “Since 2016, UBCF has cultivated our relationship with the amazing NASCAR community. We are honored to have our very own board member and seasoned NASCAR driver, JJ Yeley, racing the fully wrapped UBCF car #23 for the Drive for the Cure race on October 9th. This gives us all hope, and we all need some hope right now.”
UBCF’s mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of those affected by breast cancer. Seven programs are offered to women, men and families nationwide. While rare, men can develop breast cancer too. UBCF encourages women and men to learn the self-breast exam (available for free) and talk to your medical provider if you detect anything abnormal, early detection saves lives.
