On Saturday, Matt “Puddin’” Sistrunk of Dallas, TX showed off a special version of his standard paint job that he used at the Pro-Line Shootout in Texas - which replaced the fluorescent yellow typically used in the front with bright pink, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month.

He didn’t stop there, announcing via his “Just For Fun” Facebook page announcing that pro drivers Adam Drake and Ty Tessmann were going to sign the body after the race, and Matt then planned to offer the body in a raffle with proceeds getting donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Yesterday, Sistrunk posted that, instead of auctioning off his personal body with the two signatures, Drake and Tessmann had each offered to donate their own personal lids in order to contribute to the fundraising effort.

A few hours later, Sistrunk upped the ante once again - offering three additional shells from his personal stash.

“I’m hoping to raise at least $500,” said Sistrunk, for whom the cancer battle is a personal one - he recently underwent treatment for prostate cancer. “I just want to help,” he added. 

According to the organization’s website, the National Breast Cancer Foundation's mission is “to provide help and inspire hope to those affected by breast cancer through early detection, education, and support services.” For more information, visit www.nationalbreastcancer.org
