    Celebrating the end of this grueling chapter this weekend. After almost 2 years of scans, treatments, & surgeries, Jess had her final reconstruction surgery on Friday. She is totally finished and CANCER FREE! I am so proud of her. Now it’s time to get back to living life.

    Jess and I have some personal news that we’ve been struggling to decide how to share or what to say, but we feel is necessary to share to avoid surprises and lots of questions in the future.

    Round 5 of 6 chemo treatments today. So close to the 🏁💪🏼 @JessBallard has absolutely kicked ass through this process and I couldn’t be more proud. I never thought anything would slow her down, but now I *know.* 3 more weeks until round 6 and a new beginning!

    Just dropped @JessBallard off for her first round of chemotherapy at @LevineCancer. We’ve done every other step together - I wish I could be there for this part the most 👎🏻😔 I know she’ll do well, just feels weird. Time to kick cancer’s ass baby!💪🏼❤️

    I’ve never felt a wave of emotions like I did today watching you ring that bell @JessBallard. I can’t imagine what the past 10 months have felt like for you but I am so glad you got to walk out of @LevineCancer today with new hope. Let’s get back to livin’ life!❤️🙌🏼👊🏻

    8-year-old me is absolutely losing it🥺 This year has been so rewarding after an emotionally-taxing few years for Jess and I. Feels great to have to support of my @TeamHendrick teammates who have quickly become many good friends. Thank you all ❤️

    It was quite the week for @allyracing setup mechanic @TrBraden at the Snowball Derby. See how he drove to a top-three finish in Pensacola. hendrickmotorsports.com/news/articles/…
