The annual Martin Truex Jr. Foundation Catwalk for a Cause presented by Furniture Row even just keeps getting better. In its ninth consecutive year, 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion Martin Truex Jr. and longtime girlfriend Sherry Pollex announced a staggering $1.2 million donation to Novant Health to help combat childhood cancer.
The annual gala — which had a theme of Midsummer Night’s Dream on May 16 — again included the tear-inducing catwalk, where children in treatment or remission from cancer walking the runway with NASCAR drivers and their spouses.
NASCAR Digital, along with several drivers and teams, captured plenty of touching moments from the event. Our favorites are below, and stay tuned for even more coverage.
