Alex pov:

He was standing nervously at his car, it was the first race back from being out with a broken vertebrae. It was the Coca Cola 600, the longest race of the year. The nerves were definitely getting to him.

He could feel the eyes of the people surrounding him on pit road. Everyone was curious to see if he'd be able to do the race or if he'd have to come in due to the pain or even worse crash out.

He hadn't noticed his breathing had picked up till he felt a hand on his shoulder,

"Breathe Alex." He heard a familiar voice, he turned to see his wife, Y/n, and his daughter, Elle.

He took a slow deep breath as he turned around. He opened his arms and y/n passed him Elle, he held her close. Always without out fail holding Elle calmed him down.

"Don't stress, okay? You've got this, you've been cleared to race and as long as you don't sneeze your going to be completely fine." Y/n reassured him rubbing slow circles on his arm.

"Yeah I know but what if..." he started,
"Nope! Don't even go there, we don't do what ifs in this family, okay? Your going to do great, your gonna get Elle her first checkered flag."
Y/n said, he nodded.

The call came fore drivers to get in the car, he handed Elle back and kissed y/n before climbing in. He took a deep breath as he fired the car up, the familiar sound of the engine immediately calmed him down and he felt himself slip into his racing mindset.

————Skip to end of race————

It was one lap to go, he was battling Kyle Larson for first place. They had done way better than they had expected and the win was so close. He pushed the car has fast has it could go as he and Kyle came side by side across the line.

"Alex bowman!!!!! Your freaking the best!!!!" His crew chief screamed over the radio, he grinned from ear to ear.

He did his burnout and climbed out of the car, he stood on top of the car and pumped his fists in the air. He carefully climbed down and turned to find y/n and Elle. He took Elle from y/n and put her on the ground.

"Wanna go get the checkered flag with daddy?" He asked Elle, she nodded with a big smile on her face. Alex took her hand and together they walked up the track and grabbed the flag, he grinned proudly at her as she waved the flag around as they walked back to his car.

A/n:
Sorry I'm very slow at updating, but I have so many books on the go. If you've requested a oneshot don't worry I'm working on them.
