BREAKING: Chase Elliott & Ashley Anderson Welcome Baby Girl—Her Name Honors a NASCAR Legend!
NASCAR star Chase Elliott and his longtime partner, Ashley Anderson, have welcomed their first child, a beautiful baby girl. The couple shared the exciting news earlier today, revealing both the birth and the heartfelt meaning behind their daughter’s name.
Elliott, the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series champion and fan-favorite driver of the No. 9 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports, has always been deeply connected to the sport’s rich history. His father, Bill Elliott, is a NASCAR Hall of Famer, and Chase has carried on the family legacy with his own success on the track. So, it comes as no surprise that the couple chose a name with special ties to NASCAR history.
Their daughter’s name—**Charlotte Dale Elliott**—pays tribute to both NASCAR’s heartland and one of its most legendary figures. “Charlotte” is a nod to Charlotte Motor Speedway, one of the most iconic tracks in NASCAR, while “Dale” honors the late Dale Earnhardt, a seven-time Cup Series champion and one of the most revered figures in the sport’s history.
Fans quickly took to social media to congratulate the couple, praising the sentimental tribute. Elliott, known for his humble nature, expressed his gratitude in a heartfelt statement: *“Ashley and I are overjoyed. Charlotte Dale is already so loved. We can’t wait to introduce her to the world.”*
As Elliott prepares for the next race, he does so with a new title—dad. NASCAR’s next generation may have just gained its newest future fan.
