Dale Earnhardt’s grandson, Jeffrey Earnhardt, was hit by a huge personal loss after losing his girlfriend, Lizzy Musi. The 33-year-old drag racer was diagnosed with triple negative stage 4 breast cancer, which had spread to her lymph nodes and liver. Musi was scheduled to travel to Germany for a special surgery, but she couldn’t make it.

Jeffrey Earnhardt was very fond of Lizzy Musi. Although the couple kept a low profile about their relationship, Musi was often spotted on Jefftrey’s Instagram posts. To honor Musi’s hard-fought battle against cancer, Jeffrey is planning to pay tribute to his former sweetheart in his upcoming races.

The 35-year-old is going to be back on the racetrack with Sam Hunts Racing for two more Xfinity Series races. Driving the No. 26 Toyota, he will feature in the upcoming NASCAR race weekend at Michigan International Speedway. However, his special helmet, designed by Noel McEwen will hold special significance for the driver.

“Can’t thank Noel McEwen and @OffAxisPaint enough for such an amazing job on this helmet in memory of @LizzyMusi. She meant so much to so many and she meant the world to me. Excited to rock it this weekend and the rest of the season. Got my angel riding with me. #lizzystrong.” He wrote this via his X account and shared a glimpse of his artistic helmet.

Even the fans were left in awe of the special tribute helmet that was dedicated to Lizzy Musi. Many of them took to the comments section to send their best wishes to the driver for this special gesture.

The helmet had an artistic black-and-white theme. Minimalistic yet impactful, the two helmets showcased two different pictures of Musi’s mural imprinted on them. A lot of race fans were left stunned by the gestures and were impressed with the final touches, “Great tribute…it’s a work of art.”

An ardent fan even shared the picture of Musi in attendance during last year’s Michigan race. “This pic came up of our box last year at Michigan on my phone today. She was so hyped up on every stop we made and didn’t leave her spot on the top row all day. 💔”

Moved by the video tribute and eager to support Jeffrey in his upcoming races, this fan added, “This is the best Jeffrey, I love this video so much and I love the helmet as well! I’m so excited for you to race on Saturday. Love you buddy!”

In the 2017 NASCAR Xfinity Series races, Jeffrey hasn’t been able to clinch a victory for himself. However, the fans were hoping that he could add to Musi’s tribute by parking his race car into the victory this weekend, “Love it jeffrey, im sorry for your loss, glad to see you behind the wheel again this weekend! Put that bad machine in victory lane this weekend.”

Chiming in with a heartfelt message, this race fan stated, “Blessings, brother. I know she’s looking down, smiling we will always keep her in our hearts and you.”

After this weekend’s race at Michigan, Jeffrey Earnhardt will compete in the championship race at Phoenix Raceway.
