Darin Mock Putting Spotlight on Epidermolysis Bullosa

On the track, a racecar driver’s hands and feet are continually in motion. Constantly shifting, steering, accelerating and braking in a hot racecar for a long period of time, all while remaining focused and agile, is a challenge for even the most experienced drivers. But what if those repetitive motions and rising temperatures could also cause blisters, pain and scarring? That is the reality of every race for 20-year-old Darin Mock, who has been diagnosed with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). Mock has teamed up with the EB Research Partnership (ERBP), which will be featured on his No. 51 Nitro Motorsports Mustang at select events this year beginning at Lime Rock Park in May. EBRP is the largest global organization dedicated to funding research to treat and cure Epidermolysis Bullosa. Mock also recently partnered with Sweet Dreams Mattress and Furniture in his hometown of Mooresville, N.C. to host a very successful EBRP fundraising event.
