A career to many, a wonderful lifetime memory, for us all.
Excited for what’s next. 🏁
Day # 1 in the books. Today, we laughed & shared some funny old stories & some good new ones too. The road ahead won’t be easy, but they picked the wrong guy to strike w cancer. 💪

@joshberry
for doing such great wk under some really tough conditions. Gen 6 car, new team, new competitors to square off against & in some cases, no practice or qual. Amazing wk by 2 phenomenal drivers & equally phenomenal people.🤌
So v sad to hear of this. What an amazing & strong woman. Her “Sherry Strong Oncology Clinic”n Charlotte has brought healing & ❤️to so many others affected by all phases of cancer. She was & has remained, a huge inspiration to my wife during her own fight. Rest easy Sherry. 💝🙏
Sherry Pollex, a fixture in the NASCAR garage who championed childhood cancer research and treatment and whose fight against ovarian cancer over the last nine years served as an inspiration to many, has died at age 44. RIP, Sherry. Family statement:

Today, amongst 20 or so family & friends.. After 9 wks of grueling Chem & radiation, I watched my buddy of over 45 yrs walk out of Southern Oncology & ring the bell. 🔔 Baddest Ass SOB I’ve ever known & best friend a guy could ever have. You Go Tommy Baldwin 🫶❤️🔔👏
I’m gutted 2 hear this. 😢 But, I kno of no human on earth that’s tougher than this SOB. He’s my bro, has always been my bro, & he will beat this into the ground.🙏 ❤️
Holy Moly. 🤦♂️ 🏁Anything coulda happened right there, but the racing Gods were on our side today & we never gave up. So grateful we are headed to Phoenix to give our all 🏆🏁

I’ve been blessed to be this girls Dad for 8 yrs now. She’s my biggest project, got all her Momma’s looks, & definitely a handful of everything. You look beautiful Alexa D’Hondt. Enjoy your Sr. Prom ❤️🥰
Both had equally high emotional meaning. A final career win for a Hall of fame legend & an up & coming star who was faced w having to win out, .. to become the Champ. 🏆👏

I’m honored honestly. Very deserving for Chase to be named amongst the top 75 drivers. Hardly seems like we are 8 years into his Cup career. More trophies 🏆 to come.
So how does it feel to officially be working with one of NASCAR’S 75 greatest drivers this week in

Hats 🎩 off & thank you to
@NASCAR
for calling today’s activities early on. It’s a mess here & sitting in the rain for hours, is no fun for anyone. Tomorrow’s a new day 🌞
Very little, not surprisingly, Chase was cool with a lot of what Jeff & I did. He would often come up top and learn. Here at Homestead at Jeff’s last race 2015
What a great vibe @ this Chicago street race. Can’t yet speak 4 the racing, but the surrounding city near the track is really nice, clean w alot to 👀. The local people are v. nice. A ton of work has been done to build this facility. Hats off to
@nascar
Julie Giese & her staff.
On a more positive note… headed to one of my top 2 fav racetracks, this weekend. So many incredible memories & excitement. From my own driving career to JG’s last win in 2015, to back against the wall 👉Chase’s 2020 win…and more ..👏🏁
One of my 1st trips to
@DAYTONA
was 1983. I stood n the garage next to Harry Ranier as Cale Yarborough flipped Harry’s car during qual. Amazingly, they came bk to win the 500 in a show car. Ironically, I went to wk for Harry Ranier 13yrs later. RIP Cale 🙏
Phenomenal crew chief & even better person…& friend. Fierce competitor who gives his all & asks for the same of his entire team. Leader - got 15 yrs w him, & wouldn’t change any of it for anything ❤️👊🏁
That’s the best crowd I’ve seen
@PoconoRaceway
in a long, long time. Congrats to the hard working people there, who promoted our event & made it as pleasurable as it was. 👏
Thanksgiving, 🦃
A time to reflect. I’m so happy for my friend Tommy Baldwin. He’s put up the fight of his life & he’s beat cancer. Today, he can once again finally eat real food w his family at his side.
God is good !
Proud of my bride too 👇
N. Wilkesboro takeaways: 👉1.) Amazing job by

races now, spread over 3 divisions & I have never seen 👀 anything like that. I’m not entirely sure if I’m mad at what we just saw, or laughing, all the while saying “that was actually cool”
What in da hell, just happened ? 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤷
Very respectful of all the tireless wk that goes into transitioning this incredible facility into a dirt race track…. But 👉nothing beats the races on it’s concrete.

@TheEddieDHondt
Ya’ll we’re in contention today. That should make fans of the 9 team VERY excited! Loved the moves Chase was making today, and the excitement in your voice!
A positive announcement today: CANCER FREE! ⚡️
Can’t thank everyone - family, friends, supporters & the race fans enough for the continued support in this journey. ❤️

Dude that was an incredible finish but even better was your call on the radio and your reaction with JA and Jim, after the race. You are the best spotter in Nascar. What a great win for a great group of people like Brandt and JA.

stories to her listeners. Bravo 👏

So many of us hold you in such a high degree of respect.
Thank you & I look forward to your next chapter 🫶
Lotsa challenges w weather & city ordinances etc., but I have to say, this has been a really cool experience. Challenging track layout, beautiful area along lake Michigan, very nice & accommodating local people. Onward …
As we remember & honor all the brave ladies & gentlemen who have served our country… 🙏 Thank you to all you dedicated fans for sticking it out ☔️thru 3 days of tough..on & off weather. 👏👏

I have to say, I’m pretty proud of this kid being 6th in points, at this point in the season. Not gonna lie, it’s been a journey of hard knocks. I’ve gotten on him pretty hard at times, during past few years, but it’s all coming together now w consistency. Well done
@TylerAnkrum
Wanna know how they catch pit road mistakes that lead to penalties ? Over 64 cameras pointed every which way, high above pit road, that feed the truck that quickly reviews all the footage, then calls in the penalties, to the race control tower.
If it ever stops raining & lightning-ing … you’re gonna see some of the best racing of the year here
