Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s wife, Amy Earnhardt, took to her social media account to share a tribute to Martin Truex Jr.’s late ex-girlfriend Sherry Pollex. Mrs. Earnhardt, from her official Instagram account, uploaded an image of Pollex’s memorial and left a heartfelt message.
Amy Earnhardt uploaded an image of a plant pot which was created in memory of Pollex. “In memory of our friend, Sherry Pollex 5.10.1979 – 9.17.2023,” was written on the pot. Mrs. Earnhardt clicked a photo of the pot, and wrote in her caption,
“I see you sweet friend.”
Here’s a look at Amy Earnhardt’s Instagram story:
Martin Truex Jr. began dating Sherry Pollex in 2005, a year after he made his NASCAR Cup Series debut. They were together for 18 years until they decided to split in 2023. During their relationship in 2014, Pollex was diagnosed with Stage III ovarian cancer.
Eventually, after nine years, Shelly Pollex died in September 2023, at the age of 44. She breathed her last eight months after they broke up. Despite their breakup, Martin Truex Jr. and Shelly Pollex remained in touch.
Even after a couple of years of her demise, NASCAR remembers Pollex as one of the most vibrant women in the sport. A champion of philanthropic efforts, she started the Truex Jr. Foundation in 2007 with Truex Jr.
Besides this, she also founded the Sherry Strong Integrative Medicine Oncology Clinic at Novant Health in Charlotte and created the website SherryStrong.org to help women detect and get treatment of ovarian cancer.
