Tara Allmendinger shares cute pictures of AJ Allmendinger and son Aero as the father-son duo celebrate Boxing Day

Tara Allmendinger, AJ Allmendinger's wife, recently shared a post of her husband and son taking silly pictures together. The father-son duo snapped themselves as they were waiting for Tara while she grabbed their 'grub' as the family celebrated Boxing Day.

AJ Allmendinger is a 43-year-old NASCAR driver heading to the Cup Series with Kaulig Racing next year. He got married to Tara Meador in 2019 before welcoming their son, Aero James, on September 7 last year.

Per Instagram, Tara Allmendinger posted cute pictures of AJ and Aero while they were waiting for her inside their Chevrolet truck on Boxing Day.

"Happy Boxing Day, eating leftovers day, or getting takeout day! These two were waiting for me to grab our grub. 😂," Tara wrote.

Boxing Day is a holiday celebrated after Christmas Day, though it is not highly observed in the United States. While the holiday may sound like the sport of boxing, it refers to a tradition where servants would get leftovers and small gifts after celebrating Christmas.

Like Black Friday, Boxing Day offers shoppers huge discounts this holiday season.

As for the Allmendinger family, they have celebrated the holiday by going out and grabbing food, and the recent father-son pictures should help them remember the moment.

The new post also shows Aero James 'graduating' from using a cranial helmet. Aero wore a cranial helmet after his surgery to combat sagittal craniosynostosis. He was spotted wearing the helmet even during the NASCAR season where his father drove the No. 16 Chevrolet to a Championship 4 appearance.
