However, his "rapid improvement" has opened the door for an earlier-than-expected return.\u00a0<\/p>\n Sheargold will be joined by experienced co-driver Garth Walden in a star-studded field, which includes seven-time Supercars champion Jamie Whincup, his Triple Eight Race Engineering teammate Broc Feeney, and another Supercars champion Garth Tander.<\/p>\n "Chemo can be a brutal process and on the weekend I was feeling pretty average, but then I got better really quickly, so I madly started booking flights to Queensland," Sheargold explained.<\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong> Ex Matildas skipper fumes at public holiday 'legacy'<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong> Lockyer's fear for Broncos amid Haas pay saga<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n READ MORE:<\/strong> Four-time AFL premiership star announces retirement<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n "The surgery was successful in removing the bowel cancer, so I'm doing the chemo process as a preventative measure, to minimise the chances of the cancer ever returning."<\/p>\n It's positive news for the driver who has dressed his V8-powered race car in a livery designed to raise awareness for bowel cancer.\u00a0<\/p>\n It carries the hashtag #N2YGT3, which references Bowel Cancer Australia's 'Never2Young' initiative, raising awareness for early onset bowel cancer in people under 50.<\/p>\n So far, Sheargold's initiative has raised $143,000 for the foundation and he is hoping to break the $150,000 mark by the end of the forthcoming SpeedSeries round.<\/p>\n "We're very close to our target," said Sheargold.<\/p>\n "And this weekend we'll be making one final push for people to donate to the cause and enable us to achieve our goal."<\/p>\n He's hopeful some strong results at the 'Paperclip' in Ipswich will provide the necessary boost to get over the line.<\/p>\n "So far this season, we've had patches of good form, especially at Phillip Island and Sydney Motorsport Park, but we've also had some bad luck which has prevented us from maximising our points haul," Sheargold said.<\/p>\n Stan Sport is the only place to watch the 2023 IndyCar Series, featuring Will Power, Scott McLaughlin and Scott Dixon.<\/strong><\/em> All the action streaming ad free, live and on demand<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n "Phillip Island was a great example \u2013 we won the first race, but in the second race Garth was involved in a minor incident that did just enough damage to the radiator to put us out of the race.<\/p>\n "At Sydney Motorsport Park, we also had a strong run in race one but then I struggled with the balance of the car during my stint in race two. Hopefully this weekend it all comes together and we can bring home some silverware."<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
