The names of cancer heroes will ride with drivers in all three of NASCAR’s national series during September in recognition of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

The Martin Truex Jr. Foundation and The NASCAR Foundation Honor a Cancer Hero online auction, presented by AdventHealth, is returning for a fourth year. 

Fans can bid to have their cancer hero’s name placed on the signature panel of their favorite driver’s race vehicle, according to a press release.

Bidding is live at NASCARfoundation.org/cancerhero. The auction runs through July 24, with heroes honored during the NASCAR Cup, Xfinity, and CRAFTSMAN Truck Series races at Kansas Speedway. 

“It’s been incredibly humbling to see the teams, drivers and fans get behind this program to make it a success every year,” said NASCAR champion Martin Truex Jr. “ We’re looking forward to seeing how much we can raise this year and seeing all the names of the cancer heroes riding along with the drivers.”

Proceeds from the online auction will benefit MTJF and The NASCAR Foundation. Since 2020, the auction has raised more than $300,000.
