Jackson Lee Racing Sponsorship

Accelerating cancer research

The IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center is again a proud sponsor for race car driver and Indianapolis native Jackson Lee.

In 2025, Jackson will primarily compete in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge and IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge for Czabok-Simpson Motorsport in a Porsche Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport. His schedule includes the Michelin Pilot Challenge race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway during the IMSA Battle on the Bricks event Sept. 19-21.

As with the previous three sponsorships, this year’s sponsorship is tied to the cancer center’s public education campaign about early detection and prevention.

Jackson’s father, Kevin Lee, is a FOX Sports pit reporter for the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and the play-by-play voice for INDY NXT by Firestone in 2025, the inaugural season for both series on FOX.  Kevin Lee and longtime radio co-host Curt Cavin will host the annual "Burger Bash delivered by ClusterTruck" to benefit cancer research at IU. The fundraiser features guest appearances by Indy 500 drivers and broadcasters and a live broadcast of "Trackside" on 107.5 The Fan. The annual event is held the Monday before the Indianapolis 500 at Gate 1 of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Racing is in Indiana’s DNA, which gives us the unique opportunity to point out to Hoosiers the many parallels between race teams and cancer research and care teams. Both involve precision, determination, and science.
