Jim Roberts of Mount Joy will compete in the 2024 One Lap of America, departing in early May. This year, he will have a new transit driver, his racing crew chief Joe Yacobenas from Lancaster. Yacobenas will help with the highway miles and maintaining the car, and Roberts will do all the competitive driving on the tracks. The pair will use Roberts' new orange Corvette and travel to race tracks in Indiana, Nebraska, Colorado, Missouri, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and back to Indiana in support of the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition (PBCC).

Roberts and Yacobenas will travel about 3,700 miles for the event and almost 5,000 miles by the time Roberts arrives back home again in just over a week. Along the way, they will compete against about 90 other teams.

This will be Roberts' 15th time competing in One Lap of America, and the last several years, he has raised funds for the PBCC. He now has raised more than $48,000 in total for PBCC, which uses the funds for research and to help support women who have breast cancer.

Donors will be honored with a sticker on the roof of Roberts' Corvette. The sticker may bear the donor's name or the name of someone the donor would like to honor or memorialize.
