Fast Food Delivery: NASCAR’s Justin Bonsignore Assists in Son’s Birth at McDonald’s Parking Lot, Jokes about Future Sponsorship

When you think of a NASCAR racer, the image that likely comes to mind is high speeds, roaring engines, and adrenaline-fueled competition. But for Joe Gibbs Racing’s Justin Bonsignore, he recently found himself in a scenario more suited to a Hollywood script than a racetrack.

On July 20, 2018, an unusual story made headlines on Fox: a baby girl, born in a Chick-fil-A bathroom in San Antonio, Texas, was assured job security and lifetime meals from the fast-food chain. An everyday person raking in such benefits is surprising enough, but imagine if it were a NASCAR racer’s child. The scent of a sponsorship deal would surely be in the air from the get-go. However, the chances of such an event occurring seem slim to none. But Justin Bonsignore is here to challenge that assumption.

Bonsignore, a 37-year-old race car driver, recently found himself assisting his wife, Taylor Albert Bonsignore, in giving birth in a fast-food parking lot. With only a 911 operator for support, Bonsignore successfully helped his wife deliver their baby, all while parked outside their favorite fast-food joint.

The Bonsignore family’s journey to the hospital was anything but ordinary. Taylor, who had been suffering from a stomach bug passed onto their son Evan, began experiencing intense contractions. Despite her discomfort, the couple decided to rush to the hospital around 2:00 A.M. But as fate would have it, their 35-minute trip was cut short when Taylor’s water broke just 10 minutes in. Acting quickly, Bonsignore dialed 911.

Standing in the familiar parking lot of his preferred post-race eatery, Bonsignore knew he had a challenge ahead. But with the calm guidance of the 911 operator, he helped his wife bring a healthy baby boy into the world in the most unusual circumstances. At 2:49 A.M. on February 28, 2025, their son Greyson was born in a McDonald’s parking lot, moments before the couple intended to drive to the medical facility.

Following the remarkable birth event, emergency responders arrived to provide assistance, and the expanded family of four was home within 36 hours, ready to embark on their new life together.

The 4-time Whelen Tour winner from Joe Gibbs Racing later reflected on the experience on social media, humorously suggesting a potential sponsorship for his newborn son at the expense of fellow racer, Bubba Wallace. He wrote, “Tay and I delivered our baby boy Greyson in a @McDonalds parking lot last week, with only a 911 operator helping us at 2:49 am. Fitting for as much as we eat there on trips home from the races. Have to discuss sponsorship for this future racer, move over @BubbaWallace!”

This humorous jibe at Wallace likely won’t ruffle any feathers, especially considering Wallace’s own recent transition into fatherhood. The 23XI Racing driver welcomed his son Becks Hayden Wallace in late September 2024. Despite his rise from obscurity in Mobile, Alabama, to rubbing shoulders with NASCAR’s elite, Wallace admits that becoming a father has been the biggest change in his 31 years.

Wallace, who affectionately refers to his son as “little man”, has committed to savoring the small moments both on and off the racetrack. He admits that racing has taken a backseat to fatherhood, a transition he didn’t take lightly. With his son influencing his life positively, Wallace walks lighter and acknowledges the profound impact of a 4-month-old on his life.

Bonsignore’s playful jab about potential McDonald’s sponsorship losses two decades down the line probably won’t keep Wallace up at night. Both men, new fathers and Toyota drivers, may well exchange fatherhood tips and experiences. As they navigate this new chapter of their lives, one thing’s for sure: they’re both up for the challenges ahead.
