Reba McEntire can belt out a country tune, start a clothing brand, and successfully build anentertainment empire.
But it looks like her offspring might be racing in to take over the spotlight.
So who is this speedster?
The parents are no longer together.
And reportedly, Shelby was “devastated over his parents' decision,” according to an insider.
Years later, the young Blackstock is still tight with his parents.
And perhaps the love for being behind the wheel is genetic.
McEntire started her time behind the wheel at the age of five on her parents ranch.
But McEntire likes to claim her son got his start in racing by chasing geese with a golf cart.
“Shelby would jump on the golf cart, and he would be driving.
He could barely touch the gas pedal,” she shared.
“He would drive me around the place, and he would say, ‘Hang on!
It’s going to be a bumpy ride!'”
I want to be a race car driver!’
I said, ‘Who are you, and what have you done with Shelby?'"
“I had no idea.”
Luckily, Blackstock’s need for speed was a success.
“It’s like a kid in a candy store,” he told the Daytona Beach News-Journal.
So, what does McEntire think of her son’s fast and furious career choice?
“I’m very happy that he’s racing because that’s his passion.
I’m from a rodeo family.
The scare tactics and everything are very similar in rodeo.
On the home front, he may be revving up to produce some grandchildren for his famous mother.
At the end of 2020, he proposed to his longtime girlfriend Marissa Branch at Disneyland.
