In a recent social media post, NASCAR Xfinity driver Natalie Decker detailed her Saturday night routine with her newborn kid. She also disclosed that this season, she intends to make a comeback to the racetrack. Decker last participated at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in May 2024 and is a part-time driver for DGM Racing in the Xfinity Series. The 27-year-old frequently posts updates about her life on Instagram and is a first-time mother to a kid. On Sunday, she shared a video that described her evening routine. This is our Saturday night ritual, and I’m a new first-time mother. It’s essential that we cuddle on the couch while Dad pours us a glass of wine. We’re also supporting DGM Racing and watching the XFINITY race. Hopefully, our Saturday evenings will soon be spent at the racetrack and not at home. But right now, I’m really enjoying this newborn phase so much,” Natalie Decker said.
In August of last year, Decker—who is married to fellow NASCAR driver Derek Lemke—announced her pregnancy. Earlier this month, the couple welcomed their first child. “I adore how my husband feeds it at such late hours, and I can go up at four or five in the morning to pick it up again. For the simple reason that he is a night person and I am a morning person. “He simply enjoys staying up late,” Decker remarked (from 00:45 onward). Decker formerly competed in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, where she achieved the highest finish by a female driver in 2020 by placing in the top five at Daytona.
“It was both the best and the worst day of my life,” Natalie Decker said after giving birth. In 2011, Natalie Decker advanced to the Super Stock class after beginning racing as a child. The native of Eagle River, Wisconsin, became a member of NASCAR’s diversity program in 2015 and competed in ARCA full-time, placing eighth in 2018. She made three starts with DGM Racing last season after making her Xfinity debut in 2021. Decker talked candidly about giving delivery and her newborn’s stay in a critical care unit in a February 12 Instagram post. Both the happiest and the worst days of my life occurred on February 5, 2025. It was really lovely to give birth, but having your child taken away from you just minutes after to acquire the NICU was the most painful thing I have ever experienced,” Decker wrote.
“Watching my tiny child battle to become stronger in the NICU was the longest three days of my life. God is so awesome! Our family of three is doing well and has been home for three days. We have been given the greatest gift, and I couldn’t be happier. The only female driver in the Xfinity Series at the moment is Natalie Decker.
