"Saved by the Bell" star Dustin Diamond has stage 4 cancer, and has already started treatment to fight it. His good friend Dan Block, the president of NASCAR sponsor Insurance King, is honoring him by giving driver Josh Bilicki's car a new wrap that'll pay homage to the classic TV show while wishing Dustin get well soon...

quote:
We're told the car hasn't been wrapped yet, but TMZ's obtained a rendering of what the stock car will look like when it's done ... and you see the show's font and logo. The rear bumper also displays Dustin's mug ... with the words "Saved by the King" plastered on the hood. In case you didn't know ... Dustin stars in several Insurance King commercials.

In one of the commercials, Dustin speeds past a cop who pulls him over and writes him a ticket. When the cop asks how he can afford car insurance with so many speeding tickets, Screech Powers hits 'em with "C'mon. I'm saved by the king." Boom.

Block tells us the car will debut in time for the NASCAR Cup Series later this year.
