Oct. 09, 2012 - Dylan spent this past Saturday at the Lake Alfred's Oktoberfest Grillin' & Chillin' BBQ Competition. The day was filled with live music from Un-4-Given, the incredible dancing of The Midnight Clogging Express and all the BBQ you could eat. Over 17 teams were there the night before to start their Grillin'. The cloggers put on a wonderful show. Even Dylan found himself being asked to dance by the cutest little 5 year old, Bryleigh Busbee. She was sure tapping those feet and shaking her hips. As far as Dylan, well lets just say he better stick to racing! Everyone had a great time. As you can see from the pictures, we had a hard time keeping Dylan off the playground once again. After jumping up on the gorilla, he realized that 'gorilla power' was no match for his 'horsepower'! We would like to thank the City of Lake Alfred for inviting us. Dylan is looking forward to more BBQ and dancing next year.

Sept. 13, 2012 - Dylan Martin went to visit some of the kids at Futurecare Learning Center in Auburndale, FL. He spoke to them about how important it is to wear their seat belts and sit in their car seats. They got a laugh when he told him he pretty much sits in a car seat too when he races, it is just a little bigger. Dylan also expressed how he has to wear his helmet to protect his head, sounds simple to us but the kids thought it was really cool to have their bicycle helmets compared to a really cool racing helmet.

The kids had a chance to ask Dylan questions and the best one of the day was, "so why do you race your truck if you know you are going to wreck?" I believe Dylan gained a lot of fans that day. He had a great time with all the kids, but I had a heck of a time keeping him off the playground. He will be returning in a couple months to see all the kids and they will actually have the opportunity to sit in Dylan's race seat. Dylan feels like if he can help protect just one child, get one more kid to always buckle up, then he has made a difference.

Everyone here at Dylan Martin Racing want to thank the Southern Country Hunt Club, Reiter Electric, Blackwater Integration and Dr. Robert Cano for believing in our mission to help with the 3rd Annual “Making a Difference” Bowl-a-Raiser. After strapping on our bowling shoes, we were quick to realize that we perform better on the track than we do on the bowling lanes. We were not the top bowlers of the day but our goal was to be the team that raised the most money…and we did it with your help ($675).

Dylan’s team went home with 10 medals and the plaque for bringing in the most money. Dylan smiling said, “I had a great time. Was very cool to hang out with a couple of the kids we were raising money for too. We might not have been the best bowlers there but I am proud of our team for raising so much money."

We have already signed up for the next fundraiser, 3rd Annual “Heart of Compassion 5k” Run/Walk/Ride. Both of these and the final one on Dec 14th & 15th at Auburndale Speedway, The Joey Coulter Charity 200 Race are to benefit the 4 families that CARS Racing For A Cause, Inc. is helping.The founder of the cause is Rick Bristol and he had this to say about the successful day, " The 3rd Annual " Making a Difference" Bowl-a-raiser event to help C.A.R.S. Racing for a Cause Inc. be able to help children and families battling serious and terminal illness was a great success. We had the most bowlers ever 57, and were able to raise a new high total. With some money still coming in we are a bit over $2,600 beating last years previous high of $2,090. I am so grateful to all those who came to support the event and those who sponsored bowlers, they make this thing a success". "I also want to recognize the team that raised the most money for the event. The Dylan Martin Mayhem Monkey's were able to bring in $675.00 for the cause.

I want to thank Kim Scheffler who did the ground work for them to get that done. It helped tremendously with us getting to a new high total. The Martin's and Blackwater Integration are a great supporter of our big Charity Race weekend coming up in December as well. Thanks to all the team members for their support."Thank you once again to our new teammates at the Southern Country Hunt Club, Reiter Electric, Blackwater Integration and Dr. Robert Cano for believing and for helping. If you are interested or know of someone else that would like to join us in our efforts to make a difference, please contact Kim Scheffler.
