When it comes to fan favorites in NASCAR, Chase Elliott is a magnetic force. Known as the “Most Popular Driver” for six years running, Elliott has admirers of all ages—from racing veterans to toddlers just learning the names of drivers. Recently, though, it was one tiny fan’s big confession that melted the hearts of NASCAR fans everywhere. Enter Lennix Busch, the adorable two-year-old daughter of Kyle and Samantha Busch, who, without missing a beat, declared Chase Elliott her “boyfriend.”

It all started with a sweet video shared by Samantha Busch. She asked Lennix the simple question, “Who’s your boyfriend?” With complete certainty, Lennix replied, “Chase Elliott!” and even detailed a “movie date” she’s planning to watch Frozen with him. When Samantha playfully prodded, asking if Elliott knew about her plans, Lennix was unfazed, casually saying, “Yeah.” The sheer confidence and cuteness of her declaration had fans in stitches, and it didn’t take long for her “boyfriend” to hear about his new plans.

While Chase Elliott hadn’t actually met Lennix, he was quick to play along. When asked in an interview about the pint-sized fan’s affection, he laughed, saying, “I was made aware of that…And yeah, I guess we’re going to see Elsa. So, here we go—try getting that Frozen song out of your head!”

Lennix’s announcement won over NASCAR fans instantly on social media, with many commenting on Reddit about how Elliott’s charm transcends generations. Fans have long been drawn to Elliott’s down-to-earth personality and connection to his legendary dad, Bill Elliott, who was a 16-time Most Popular Driver. The younger Elliott seems to be following in his father’s footsteps, and with new fans like Lennix leading the way, his popularity shows no signs of slowing down.

It’s no wonder some fans are already predicting that Kyle Busch‘s daughter might be casting her own “Most Popular Driver” vote for her “boyfriend.”

Fans go gaga over the cuteness between Chase Elliott and Lennix Busch

One fan captured the vibe perfectly by saying, “The real Chase Elliott gives off fun uncle or big brother vibes.” For many, that’s exactly what makes Chase so likable. He has that easygoing, approachable personality that makes people feel he’s just as much a good-natured buddy as he is a serious racer. Fans see him not only as the talented driver of the #9 car but also as someone who would be the “cool uncle” in a family setting, happily indulging his little “niece” Lennix in her Frozen fandom.

Another fan laughed at their own initial confusion, admitting, “I misread this and thought he was getting a movie.” It’s easy to see how one might think Chase had a movie deal in the works, but in this case, his off-season plans are apparently booked for a trip to watch Elsa on the big screen with an enthusiastic two-year-old. It’s a funny twist that took fans by surprise.

One observant fan pointed out the little detail in the interview, chuckling, “Funny how the reporter says Samantha’s kids and not Kyle’s kid lol.” It’s true—the interviewer phrased it like Lennix was solely Samantha’s child as if Kyle Busch had nothing to do with it! Fans found this hilarious and fitting, considering how naturally Samantha’s Instagram presence highlights the adorable antics of Lennix, making it feel like her territory when it comes to capturing these family moments.

Fans also got a kick out of the way the news reached Chase, with one commenting, “Elliott was indeed informed of his upcoming ‘Frozen’ movie date with Lennix Busch, haha.” People enjoyed imagining how Chase might’ve reacted hearing about this “date” out of nowhere, suddenly realizing he’s got a fan-favorite gig as an honorary “boyfriend” in Lennix’s eyes.

Finally, one fan had a good laugh over Chase’s candid comment, “‘What’s crazy is I don’t think I’ve even met her’ made me laugh pretty good.” It’s such a relatable reaction—you get invited to a playdate or a movie date by someone who already considers you a buddy, and you realize, “Wait, I haven’t even met you!” For fans, it’s a moment that shows Chase’s natural humor and easygoing response to the unexpected—and his willingness to go along with Lennix’s big plans.
