Emporia native Elliott Sadler, driver of the No. 11 OneMain Financial Toyota, will kick off October as Breast Cancer Awareness month on Today with a special event at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Joined by brother Hermie Sadler, Fox Sports 1 analyst, and their mother, Bell, Sadler will paint the start-finish line and pit wall pink at the 1.5-mile track.

"Charlotte Motor Speedway does a great job during the October race to really bring awareness to the cause and celebrate the survivors of breast cancer," said Sadler.  "My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007, and we are blessed to have her healthy, cancer-free and coming with us to the event at the track on Tuesday to remember those who have battled breast cancer and cheer on the survivors and their families."

Pink Fire suit and Paint Scheme

Sadler will sport a special pink fire suit and pink OneMain Financial paint scheme in the Oct. 11 NASCAR Nationwide Series event at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

"It means so much to me to have a sponsor like OneMain Financial to allow us to run this special pink paint scheme," Sadler said. "It is always my mom's favorite race of the year, and it is so great to be able to dedicate this race to my mom, all breast cancer survivors and those touched by the disease."
