Notably, Sherry’s influence extended far beyond her connection to Martin Truex Jr. She was instrumental in launching Catwalk for a Cause, an event that has raised over $4 million to support childhood cancer research. NASCAR stars like Kyle Larson, Dale Earnhardt Jr, and many more have been associated with this program.

Sherry’s journey with cancer began in 2014 when doctors diagnosed her with Stage 3 ovarian cancer. Despite the gravity of her diagnosis, Sherry’s optimism never wavered. “If you look around you, there’s so much positivity and there’s so much beauty on this earth,” Sherry had said in an interview a few months before her demise in 2023.

While Sherry left for the heavens, her legacy lives on through the many lives she touched. From the charity work she initiated to the way she inspired those around her, she will always be an inspiration for many. While Amy Earnhardt recalled her late friend, a rumor around her personal life lit the social media.

Fans quickly assumed that the caption was hinting at a pregnancy announcement, and Amy’s DMs flooded with congratulatory messages. However, Amy was quick to clear up the confusion. In a follow-up Instagram story, she shared a screenshot of a fan asking, “Is this an announcement?” Amy firmly denied the rumors as she wrote, “Not in the slightest!”

It’s worth noting that Amy and Dale Jr. have two daughters, Isla and Nichole. The couple often share their pictures with fans. Notably, Dale Jr. often spends time with his daughters to share the racing culture of his family. “I want them to know there are opportunities here if they ever decide they want to do this, too. And (my daughters) don’t have to be race car drivers but look at Kelley — there are a lot of jobs and opportunities (in racing) if they want it,” he once said.

While Amy continues to oversee her businesses and family, Dale Jr prepares for another NASCAR season. He will focus on Dirty Mo Media and his podcasts. Meanwhile, his JR Motorsports will make history. The team, co-owned by Dale Jr. and his sister Kelly Earnhardt Miller, will field a car in the Daytona 500.
