The Wheeler family had a weekend to remember when they got to rub shoulders with some of the best racers in the world.
Ben alongside his two sons Mitch and Josh headed up to Darwin earlier this month to take in the Darwin Triple Crown.

Whilst there, the two kids were able to snag some a very rare souvenir.
"Dad gave us the task of trying to get a signed shirt from Ollie," eldest son Mitch said.
"We've headed over and I'm looking a look at Ollie's bike and one of the pit crew came up and said we could come in.
"I said by any chance would Ollie and Troy come out for a signing.
"He's gone into their bike truck and done his thing for a couple minutes and out comes Ollie and Troy."
They chatted for about ten minutes before Troy handed the boys a shirt signed by both he and Ollie, one he said was the first to be signed by the pair of them.
Proud dad Ben said father and son racers couldn't have been more obliging.
