Luke Combs and his wife Nicole celebrated their son Tex’s 3rd birthday with a NASCAR-themed party inspired by Dale Earnhardt Sr. The party featured a balloon-filled wall with “Tex’s Third Lap”, a winner’s podium and a chair that featured a photo of the late racing icon, a play area with racing stripes, a “No. 3” car design, and a “fueling station” with beverages and snacks for the kids, which included cookies shaped like Earnhardt’s iconic car and racing flags. Nicole shared an Instagram video capturing the racing-inspired decorations, while captioning the post, “some details from Tex’s birthday ♥️🏁 guess who picked the theme lol.” The post includes comments from Combs’ “Backup Plan” duet partner Bailey Zimmerman, who wrote “Would kill for you to throw me a bday party like this,” along with supportive responses from Dale Earnhardt Jr., and from Richard Childress Racing (Earnhardt Sr.’s longtime racing home) who wrote, “Solid choice!” (Billboard)
