Sam Hunt Racing is set to honor Sherry Pollex in a powerful way. The Sherry Strong Foundation will take center stage on Sam Hunt Racing’s #24 car at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL during the Drive for the Cure 250 race. Sam Hunt expressed his profound respect for Sherry and her impact on NASCAR. He stated,

“My love and passion for this sport has never been drawn from the sole desire to stand in victory lane and collect statistics. Or even collect the trophies that seem to bring us the temporary validation and happiness we often seek. My true love is people, and the ability to make a positive impact using this platform is my passion.”

Sherry Pollex not only shared this passion but was a proven champion within it,” he added. “She fought her courageous battle with cancer alongside teammates who are near and dear to our SHR family. To honor Sherry, the Pollex family, and the Sherry Strong Foundation on our race car is a privilege I know I will never feel truly deserving of. It’s going to be a special weekend celebrating this champion in Charlotte.”
