NASCAR Xfinity driver Natalie Decker recently shared on social media the specifics of her Saturday night ritual with her newborn child.

The 27-year-old, who is a first-time mother, regularly shares updates about her life on Instagram. She posted a video on Sunday that detailed her evening ritual. As a new first-time mother, this is our Saturday night routine. Dad must pour us a drink of wine while we snuggle on the couch. In addition, we’re watching the XFINITY race and supporting DGM Racing.
Our Saturday nights will hopefully soon be spent at the racetrack rather than at home. However, at the moment, I’m thoroughly enjoying this infant stage,” Natalie Decker remarked.
Last August, Decker, who is married to Derek Lemke, another NASCAR driver, said she was expecting a child. The couple had their first kid earlier this month. “I love that my husband feeds it so late, and I can go up and get it again at four or five in the morning. simply because I prefer the mornings and he prefers the evenings.“He just likes to stay up late,” Decker said (from 00:45 onward). Decker used to race in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, where she finished in the top five at Daytona in 2020, the greatest finish for a female driver.

After giving birth, Natalie Decker remarked, “It was the best and the worst day of my life alike.” Natalie Decker started racing as a child and moved up to the Super Stock class in 2011. The Eagle River, Wisconsin native joined NASCAR’s diversity program in 2015 and participated full-time in ARCA, finishing seventh in 2018. After making her Xfinity debut in 2021, she had three starts with DGM Racing the previous season. In an Instagram post on February 12, Decker spoke up about giving birth and her newborn’s time in the critical care unit.
February 5, 2025, was both the best and the worst day of my life.
Giving birth was truly beautiful, but the most agonizing thing I have ever gone through was having your child taken away from you minutes later to get into the NICU,” Decker wrote.
“The longest three days of my life were spent in the NICU, watching my small child fight to get stronger. God is amazing! After three days at home, our family of three is doing well. I’m overjoyed that we’ve received the most amazing gift. Natalie Decker is currently the sole female driver in the Xfinity Series.
