“Fast starts and breaking hearts”: AJ Allmendinger’s wife Tara showcases their 1-year-old cherishing his Lamborghini joyride

AJ Allmendinger's wife Tara shared an adorable post of their one-year-old son Aero James enjoying his joyride in a mini Lamborghini toy car. She also shared the clips of her husband assembling the remote-controlled car for their son.

Allmendinger and his wife welcomed their firstborn Aero James on September 7, 2023. Their son was diagnosed with craniosynostosis — a condition where the bones of a baby’s skull fuse prematurely before the brain has fully developed. After undergoing surgery at three months old, he is undergoing helmet therapy.

Celebrating his first birthday, Aero experienced the thrill of speed behind the wheel of a mini Lamborghini Aventador, sharing the ride with the family's French bulldog, Xena. Tara Allmendinger shared the adorable video on Instagram on October 5 with the caption:

"Fast starts and breaking hearts. 🏎️♥️ Making Craniosynostosis cool since 2023."

Tara Allmendinger also shared clips of her husband assembling the toy car for their son, and Aero James getting a feel for the steering wheel for the first time. She captioned the video with the famous catchphrase:

"Maybe they’re born with it. Maybe it’s Valvoline."

AJ Allmendinger's wife has been vocal about craniosynostosis, sharing her experiences as a parent and raising awareness about the congenital condition. She founded the P.U.R.P.L.E Ribbon Project to support other families facing similar challenges.
