RELATED: Cain: We will keep fighting for Elijah
After hearing the news of the passing of 10-year-old Elijah Aschbrenner, several drivers decided to pay tribute to him during the race weekend at Phoenix International Raceway.
Elijah was battling with Epithelioid Sarcoma, a rare type of cancer, since May 2014 and helped spark a movement following his diagnosis. The young boy won the hearts of countless individuals within the NASCAR community, including Furniture Row Racing‘s Martin Truex Jr. and his girlfriend, Sherry Pollex, as well as Hendrick Motorsports‘ Dale Earnhardt Jr. and the Team Penske duo Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski.
