Luke Combs’ Son Gets a Dale Earnhardt Sr.-Inspired Racing Birthday Party: ‘Guess Who Picked the Theme?’
Luke Combs and his wife Nicole gave their son Tex a full-throttle 3rd birthday party recently, throwing Tex a celebration inspired by late NASCAR racing legend and seven-time Cup Series Champion Dale Earnhardt Sr.
On June 24, Nicole shared an Instagram video showing off the party’s Earnhardt-inspired “No. 3” theme. A balloon-filled wall was emblazoned with “Tex’s Third Lap” and held trophy statues, next to a winner’s podium and a chair that featured a photo of the late racing icon.

“Some details from Tex’s birthday. Guess who picked the theme?” she wrote in the video’s caption. Tex Combs was born June 19, 2022.
In the yard were an inflatable bouncy house and a fenced-in play area, as well as a slide and ball pit with racing stripes and a “No. 3” car emblazoned on the side.
A “fueling station” held an assortment of drinks for kids, while a snack area included veggies and fruits but also various cookies in the shape of Earnhardt’s iconic black No. 3 car, as well as cookies painted in icing with checkered racing flags and the words “Tex’s Third Lap.” Elsewhere, red racing caps and child-size racing suits were displayed on another wall.
Among those who commented on the sweet video was Combs’ “Backup Plan” collaborator Bailey Zimmerman, who wrote, “Would kill for you to throw me a bday party like this.”
The official Instagram account for Richard Childress Racing, Earnhardt Sr.’s longtime racing home, also commented with “Solid choice!,” while Dale Earnhardt Jr. commented with a series of fire emojis.
Combs recently played a set a Bonnaroo in Manchester, Tennessee, before the rest of the weekend was canceled due to severe weather and is set to play a few more prestigious festivals, performing at Newport Folk Festival on July 26 and Lollapalooza on July 31.
