Usually when I go to a race I meet some really awesome people, and Dover was no exception! Actually we never met in person, but we connected with each other through the Nascar Wife Happy Life Facebook page.
When I posted about heading to Dover for the Fall 2015 race, this Nascar Mom left a comment telling me how excited she was to be taking her two sons to their VERY FIRST NASCAR RACE!
Now, you Happy Wives (and Hubbies too!) know that your kids reach a stage in their lives where hanging out with Mom just isn't cool. Everything you do gets you the infamous eye-roll reaction. Sometimes they even deny knowing who you are!! Trust me, I speak from experience here!
Finding a common ground, something that you both enjoy, is not an easy thing to do. In fact, at times it feels impossible!
That is why this is such a cool story. This Nascar Mom's sons are 13 and 17 years old -- even MORE difficult to find something to do and enjoy together. And can I just tell you - SHE NAILED IT!!
Look at these happy faces!!
Mom even splurged a little and added the Monster Mile Club package to her tickets which just added to the family fun and photo opps! Here they are in front of the Miles the Monster trophy which little Keelan Harvick now displays in his playroom.
Notice how the smiles are getting bigger?! ...
It was a long day and a late start of the race made it a late drive home, but something tells me that Nascar has a new generation of fans for life. And there is a Nascar Mom with memories that she wouldn't trade for anything! Way to go, Nascar Mom -- YOU ROCK!!
