Sherry Pollex was the prime definition of a fighter and a hero.
She fought a courageous battle and I’m deeply saddened that she has lost that fight.
Her positive and inspirational outlook on life despite her illness should encourage all of us to never give up!!
My thoughts are with her family, friends and all of those that knew her. 💕💕🙏🏻🙏🏻
An elderly lady at the grocery store didn’t have enough money for her groceries and started putting stuff back.
I said mam please don’t do that, I’ll take care of it. She immediately busted into tears and called me an angel.
I’m no angel, just doing what I know is right!
Tyler Reddick: "Just pissed off. There's a car stopped on the short-cute before we took the white flag and they didn't throw the caution.
"I don't know what that shit is about."

We should all be very thankful that @ryanellisracing walked away from the Xfinity Series crash yesterday @WGI without any injuries.
Kudos to @DGMRacingFL for building a safe race car and #NASCAR for all the safety initiatives over the years.
It will be good to see Ryan back in competition @DAYTONA.
I am absolutely devastated.
I have a lost a close of friend of mine who gave up on life and shot himself.
Please keep his family and all of his friends in your thoughts and prayers.
People are bitching about which sport is the first to come back?
I'm sorry, but this wasn't meant to be a race about who comes back first.
We ALL should be thankful that sports are coming back period.

Ordered dinner long time ago, had not arrived, no big deal because busy working | forgot about it.
Big pounding at the door -- I'm like who is knocking at my door?!
Two nice @MooresvilleNC PD officers show up and say, sorry this took a while, but your Uber driver got arrested.
In the past two days, @Elliott_Sadler and @kaseykahne have announced their retirements at the end of the 2018 from full-time competition.
They will go down in history as being one of 30 drivers to win in Cup, Xfinity AND Trucks.
That's supstar material if you ask me.

If you guys think @BLeavine didn't want to keep @mattdracing in the No. 95 car, you guys surely don't understand how the business side of the sport works.
It's business, not personal.
May not like or agree with it, but its the truth.
#NASCAR
I know many of my friends in the #NASCAR community are hurting today. The sport has lost a wonderful and loving person.

Today is going to be the hardest day of my life.
I still cannot comprehend that my Dad is gone. I miss him that much. 💔
But, today gathered with family and friends we will celebrate his life, because he certainly lived a damn good life.
My dad cared about so many and loved his children unconditionally. I know I was lucky to be loved like that.
Thank you for all the continued love and support, it means the world to me and my family!!! ❤️
I knew John Wes Townley since he entered the sport.
He always treated me well, said hi and we checked in with each other once in a while when he left the sport.

I miss my dad so much.
I never knew it would hurt this bad.
Thanks for all the support for me and my family. I am overwhelmed with all the ❤️
I just haven’t been able to go through all the messages and respond, but I will eventually.
Please forgive me.
Talking with some of my colleagues tonight, I thought about this while driving tonight
I was really hyped up for the All-Star race, but left a little disappointed.
I know most of the fans were happy that Chase Elliott won, (awesome!), but I left bummed
Anyone feel that way 2?
The last few days have been some of my darkest.
All the messages have meant the world to me. I am sorry I have not responded to everyone yet.
It's been day & night in the hospital with my family as we try to cope with the news of my father.
Please keep the prayers coming.

We saw this first hand this week with @RyanJNewman but there are so many more who still need our prayers for their own reasons..
Please don't forget them too!
