Driven on the Track

Committed to the Community

Racing has given Cara a platform, a community and some pretty incredible opportunities. CMR believes in using that platform to give something back, too.

3rd Annual Fuel for Full Plates

Racing to Make a Difference, One Full Plate at a Time.

October 15 - November 21, 2026

For the third year, Cara Madison Racing is bringing our racing family and local community together to help families put food on their tables this Thanksgiving.

What started as a way to give back has become one of our favorite CMR traditions. Because while we spend a lot of time chasing checkered flags, we believe some of the most important things we do happen away from the racetrack.

And we can’t do it without YOU!

Help Team Cara Feed Families in Need

$25 provides a turkey for a local family

$50 provides a Thanksgiving meal for a family of four

$100 helps provide Thanksgiving meals for 2 families of four

Whether you’re donating food, shopping our Amazon Wishlist, or making a monetary contribution, you’re helping us make Thanksgiving a little brighter for families in our community.

Every contribution matters. Every act of kindness counts.

Let’s fill some plates, Team Cara!

Fuel for Full Plates Through the Years

Three years of neighbors helping neighbors. Here’s a look at the kindness and generosity that have helped make this CMR tradition possible.

Community in Action

 Race to 25 Backpacks

25 was the goal. 36 crossed the finish line.

In 2026, CMR teamed up with West Shore Collision to support 2nd Chances’ 9th Annual Backpack Drive. What started as a goal to fill 25 backpacks ended with 36 complete backpacks packed with school supplies and delivered for local students heading back to school.

More than one way to make an impact

In April 2026, Cara Madison Racing partnered with local businesses to host the first-ever 30 Days of Giveaways campaign, featuring more than $3,500 in prizes donated by community partners. The month-long initiative celebrated local businesses, supported community engagement, and connected racing families through daily giveaways while helping raise awareness for Cara's racing journey.

Fill A Racecar Toy Drive

CMR participated alongside Derek Gluchacki Racing-Fill A Racecar holiday toy drive, helping collect donations for children and families during the holiday season.

Beyond the Racetrack

The Bobby A. Project

CMR’s community involvement isn’t limited to donation drives. Cara has also become involved with Bobby A. Wishing on a Star, a children’s racing book created by Frank Palmietto and illustrated by Emilio Martinez.

Cara is helping bring the story to a new generation of race fans through content, special projects, and opportunities to connect the book to young readers.

As the Bobby A. project grows, so will Cara’s involvement.

The boy is holding a racing helmet and a backpack, with a crowd in the background. The scene takes place at night with a starry sky, smiling moon, and placed in front of a large sign that says "Wishing on a Star". There is also a star-shaped sign with the words "Dream, Believe, Achieve."
