This one is for the dreamers. 🏁💗
Tomorrow starts a brand-new school year for the Evans sisters.
And this year feels a little different. Not only does it begin after coming home from a late night racing in Pennsylvania at Action Track USA, but for Kenna, it’s her last first day of middle school. Kylin is right behind her, just one grade younger.
Every year since kindergarten, we’ve taken the same first-day-of-school pictures.
New grade. New teacher. A little taller. A little older.
But there’s one answer on those signs that has never changed.
“What do you want to be when you grow up?”
A race car driver. 🏁
Year after year after year.
And somewhere along the way, that answer stopped being just something written on a first-day-of-school sign.
It became their life.
These two little girls who once dreamed about being race car drivers are now drivers for Evans Racing.
They’ve grown up at the racetrack. They’ve learned that chasing a dream means a whole lot more than trophies and checkered flags. It means late nights in the race shop. Long drives home. Wins that make you feel unstoppable and losses that make you wonder what you’re doing wrong. It means getting back in the car anyway.
And through all of it, they’ve had each other.
Sisters. Teammates. Competitors sometimes, too. 😉
But always each other’s biggest cheerleaders.
There’s something incredibly emotional about watching a childhood dream grow up right alongside your children.
Tomorrow, they’ll grab their backpacks and head off for another first day of school.
Before we know it, those first-day signs will be tucked away in a box somewhere, and these days we thought would last forever will be memories.
But I hope the answer written on them never changes.
Not necessarily because racing has to be their forever…
but because I hope they never stop being the little girls who believed, with their whole hearts, that they could become exactly who they dreamed of being.
So this one is for Kenna and Kylin.
And for every kid standing there tomorrow holding a first-day-of-school sign with a dream written at the bottom that might seem a little too big.
Write it down. Say it out loud. Chase it anyway.
Because sometimes that little kid knows exactly where she’s headed. 🏁💗
