How lucky are we? ❤️🏁

They say it takes a village to chase a dream, and we truly have the best sponsors and supporters around. The people and businesses in Paxton’s corner don’t just help keep his racing dream alive—they create experiences our family will never forget.

For the second year in a row, Huckleberry’s invited Paxton to help create their NASCAR Week menu… and then actually brought his ideas to life. How cool is that?!

I’m not saying we’ve peaked as parents… but watching complete strangers walk into a restaurant and order the Paxton Pit Burger is a pretty surreal experience. 😂

“I’ll have the Paxton Pit Burger.”

Excuse me while I pretend that’s something we hear every day. 😎🍔

And here’s the best part—it isn’t just a cool name. The Paxton Pit Burger is absolutely delicious! This year’s NASCAR Week menu also features mouth-watering ribs and a dessert that’s worth every single calorie. (Calories don’t count during race week… I’m pretty sure that’s in the NASCAR rule book. 😉)

A huge thank you to everyone at Huckleberry’s for believing in Paxton, supporting local racing, and making my boy feel like a superstar. These are the kinds of memories that last forever, and we’ll never take them for granted.

So head over for NASCAR Week, order the Paxton Pit Burger, try the ribs, save room for dessert, and help support a business that goes above and beyond for our local racing community. We sure appreciate you, Huckleberry’s! ❤️🏁🍔

If you’ve been around the track for more than five minutes, you’ve probably noticed one thing… whatever Matt does, Paxton isn’t far behind. 😂🏁

Driver’s meeting? Matt sits down… Paxton sits down. 😎

I’m pretty sure Pax has a master plan. If he copies Matt long enough, maybe some of that incredible driving talent will rub off on him. We’re still waiting to see if that’s how it works… but he’s committed to the experiment! 🤣

In all seriousness, Matt, thank you for being such an awesome role model for the younger drivers. You never make Paxton feel like he’s just “the kid.” You make him feel like he’s part of the team, and that’s something he’ll remember for a long time.

Of course, no friendship is complete without a little property damage… 😂 Early this season, Paxton launched his race receiver, and it smacked right into Matt’s pit box. Thankfully, the pit box survived… and somehow Matt still lets him hang around! 🤦‍♂️🤣

Thanks for being the kind of racer this sport needs—fast on the track, humble in the pits, and always making time for the next generation.

Keep copying, Pax… if the driving talent doesn’t rub off, maybe the smile and sportsmanship will. 🏁❤️

🏁 RACE RECAP | FAST, LOUD & STILL SWINGING 🏁

There is no sugar-coating it… the car situation has been beyond frustrating. We know what it’s capable of, and right now it’s just not showing it. But that’s racing.

You can sit around and complain… or you can get back in the shop and get to work.

We’ve got an incredible team behind us helping chase the gremlins, and we’ll keep plugging away until this thing is where it belongs.

Despite the struggles, it was an absolutely beautiful night at the track!

🏁 Future Stock
🥇 Heat Race Winner
🥉 Feature 1 – 3rd
🥉 Feature 2 – 3rd

🏁 Mini Cup
🥇 Heat 1 – 1st
🥉 Heat 2 – 3rd
🥈 Feature – 2nd… by a nose.

That’s racing. Split-second decisions. Inches. Sometimes they go your way, sometimes they don’t. You don’t dwell on it—you reload for the next green flag.

The best part of the night wasn’t a trophy.

It was every person who came over to cheer Paxton on. The people who spent their evening helping us chase a problem under the hood. The fans in the stands. The racers who celebrated with him. And the hugs waiting for him when he climbed out of the car frustrated because he knows this team is capable of more.

Those moments remind us why we’re here.

A huge thank you to every one of our sponsors. Your support keeps these cars on the track and this dream alive. We couldn’t do it without you.

We’ll get the car figured out.

That’s not a question. It’s just a matter of time.

See you all Friday, July 24th. 🏁🔥💪

Some race days aren’t remembered because of where you finish.

They’re remembered because of who stands beside you.

The car isn’t where we know it can be right now. It’s frustrating. Paxton wears that frustration because he cares. He wants to compete. He wants to be better.

But even on the hard nights, one thing never changes.

He still finds his friends.
He still celebrates their wins.
He still offers a high five, a hug, and genuine encouragement.

These moments remind us that while we’re building race cars, we’re also building character, friendships, and a racing family.

I’m proud of the driver Paxton is becoming.

And I’m just as proud of every one of these young racers. I cheer for them like they’re my own, because watching these kids support each other is one of the greatest victories this sport has to offer.

🏁 Sometimes the biggest wins don’t happen on the track, just at the track. ❤️

Dear The NAPA Network NAPA Auto Parts ...

When Loretta from Edmonton Int'l Raceway asked if she could take Paxton's Mini Cup car to the NAPA Golf Tournament, we were all in!

We were excited that so many people would get to see and enjoy her as much as we do...

What we didn't realize until we saw the pictures was... she already looks like she's part of the NAPA family! 💙💛😂

Some things are just meant to be, right?

So here's our shameless little pitch...

If you're ever looking for a sponsorship that goes beyond racing, let's talk.

Paxton is an autistic young racer whose hyperfocus has become his superpower. It's helped him go from dreaming about racing to winning races, while inspiring other kids to believe they can chase big dreams too.

We'd love to partner with a brand that believes in community, inclusion, and helping the next generation succeed.

Plus... let's be honest... those NAPA colours already look pretty amazing on the car. 😉💙💛

Huge thanks to NAPA Auto Parts Canada for welcoming Edmonton International Raceway to your Golf Tournament and for giving Paxton's Mini Cup car a chance to shine!

P.S. If this post happens to find the right person at NAPA... our inbox is open. We think NAPA 🤝 Racing 🤝 Inclusion could be something pretty special. 🏁💙💛
