Episode 16 - Sherry Pollex

Author: Steve Letarte September 25, 2019 Duration: 54:47
Steve is on location from Levine Children's Hospital in Charlotte, NC for an in-depth conversation with Sherry Pollex, the longtime partner of NASCAR Cup Series driver Martin Truex Jr. The two discuss a wide array of topics including the efforts of the Martin Truex Jr. Foundation to raise awareness and support initiatives specific to ovarian and childhood cancers. The foundation's signature event, Catwalk for a Cause, celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2019. Sherry, the daughter of former NASCAR team owner Greg Pollex, talks about her life in motorsports, including her partnership with Truex Jr. She also reflects on her personal battle with ovarian cancer that began with her diagnosis in 2014.

Steve Letarte has logged thousands of miles, not just on the track but on the highways and backroads that connect the racing world. In Letarte on Location, he uses that unique perspective from his decades as a NASCAR crew chief and television analyst to pull over for conversations you won't hear anywhere else. This isn't a standard interview podcast recorded in a studio; it's built on the relationships and chance encounters forged over a lifetime in motorsports. Each episode feels like joining a casual, insightful talk in a garage or a roadside diner, far from the formal press box. You'll hear from the diverse personalities-drivers, mechanics, artists, local legends-who populate the circuit's expansive landscape, all through Steve's grounded and experienced lens. The conversations naturally drift between competitive strategy, automotive passion, and the sheer love of the journey itself, capturing the spirit of life on the move. Tune in for a series of authentic, meandering discussions that are as much about the people and places behind the sport as the races themselves.
