<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Chase Elliott's wife and children</strong></h2>

Though the driver has been romantically linked to a woman named Ashley Anderson, a University of Georgia graduate, since 2o21, an official confirmation is yet to come. The #9 driver has never been married and does not have any children.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Chase Elliott's net worth 2024</strong></h2>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Chase Elliottâ€™s career timeline</strong></h2>

But his golden days arrived in 2010 when, at just 15 years of age, Elliott won 12 events in a single year and featured in the Top 10 a staggering 38 times. He was also named the Georgia Asphalt Pro Late Model Series Rookie of the Year. The very next year, the driver went on to win his first Snowball Derby, thereby becoming the race's youngest winner. And that's not all.

He also was getting involved in stints in the ARCA circuit around the same time and, in 2013, with his Pocono Raceway win, Elliott became the youngest winner in ARCA superspeedway history.

The driver slowly rose through the ranks to reach his final destination, NASCAR. After a brief stint in the K &amp; N Pro Series, the driver finally made his debut in one of the top 3 factions of the stock car racing organization, the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/nascar-truck-series/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Craftsman Truck Series</a>, in 2013. Driving for Hendrick Motorsports, the driver made his Truck debut at Martinsville Speedway where he finished P6.

The following year, the driver, for the first time in his career, started his <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/nascar-xfinity-series/">Xfinity Series</a> career and made his well-deserved debut at the Daytona International Speedway and finished P15. But his true calling finally arrived in 2015 when he made participated in the NASCAR Cup Series. Barring his first year, the driver has participated in the division full-time since 2016.

Talking about the iconic partnership, Chris Bigda, director of sports marketing of the brand in North America, had said at the time, <em>"Coca-Cola is proud to welcome Chase to its Coca-Cola Racing Family and launch its partnership with Hendrick Motorsports.</em> <em>Continuing to partner with the Elliott family is an honor and thrilling legacy, as Chase joins our Coca-Cola Racing Family 25 years after his father Bill Elliott was a founding member back in 1998. Weâ€™re excited for our future together and refreshing this championship team on and off the track."</em>

As for NASCAR's third faction, the Truck Series, the driver has three wins, 15 Top 10s, and three poles.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Chase Elliottâ€™s records</strong></h2>
Chase Elliott has several memorable records to his name. At 22 years, 10 months, and nine days old, the driver became the youngest winner at Dover Motor Speedway in October 2018 after beating seasoned NASCAR veterans like Denny Hamlin (P2), <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/joey-logano/">Joey Logano</a> (P3), <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kurt-busch/">Kurt Busch</a> (P5) and the reigning Dover Motor Speedway winner from earlier that year, Kevin Harvick (P6).

Even off the racetrack, Chase Elliott has a variety of accolades to showcase. Following in his father Bill Elliott's footsteps, the HMS driver continues to be the reigning Most Popular Driver Award winner with six consecutive wins. In 2016, he took home the Rookie of the Year honor in the Cup Series after securing 10 top-five and 17 top-10 finishes in 36 starts, including a pair of runner-up finishes, both at Michigan International Speedway. He also won two poles that year.

Chase Elliott was also named as one of the 75 Greatest Drivers in 2023 on the stock car racing organization's 75th Anniversary alongside Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kevin-harvick/">Kevin Harvick</a>, among others.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Â Chase Elliottâ€™s playoff heartbreak</strong></h2>
As a Cup Series driver, it is certainly not easy to keep up consistency. However, Chase Elliott seemed to be quite promising on that front with regular playoff appearances since his debut season. However, come 2023, an unfortunate injury took away his playoff chances. The driver was reportedly snowboarding in Colorado when he suffered from a fractured tibia in his left leg. Subsequently, he missed six races and had to be substituted by Josh Berry.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Chase Elliott suspension</strong></h2>
2023 wasn't really Chase Elliott's year. On top of missing multiple races in the Cup Series, the driver also faced a one-race suspension from NASCAR for intentionally wrecking <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/denny-hamlin/">Denny Hamlin</a> during the Coca-Cola 600 in May. The incident occurred at the Charlotte Motor Speedway when the two drivers were driving side by side on Lap 186. After Hamlin squeezed Elliott into the wall, the #9 driver retaliated by hitting the rear of Hamlin's No. 11 Toyota.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Chase Elliott in popular media</strong></h2>
Chase Elliott's rise to popularity has been palpable. After a blistering performance during his rookie season, Chase Elliott was honored as a cover star in his state Georgia's official publication. He graced the August 2016 edition of Georgia Magazine in a story titled, <em>"Like father, like son"</em>. He was also the cover star for Athlon Sports in 2018 as "NASCAR's next superstar" and again in 2020 in the NASCAR season preview edition. He was also featured on the cover of the video game NASCAR Heat 5 in 2020. Â The game was available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One devices, and PC via stream.

Chase Elliott was one of the voices in the Cars 3 movie, that was released in 2017. He was one of the four next generation drivers and his character was named Chase Racelott.

Kyle Busch

Who is Kyle Busch? If there was anyone to personify the word â€˜consistencyâ€™ in the present era of NASCAR, it would be Kyle Busch. When he first came into the Cup Series, Busch was arguably a brash and aggressive driver. He did not shy away from saying or doing what he felt like and that earned him the â€˜Rowdyâ€™ nickname. You can love it or hate it but his approach to racing led him to win 2 Cup Series championships. Now, he has toned down a lot but despite being one of the older drivers, the hunger is still very much alive. He currently drives the #8 car for Richard Childress Racing. TALLADEGA, ALABAMA &#8211; OCTOBER 02: Kyle Busch, driver of the #18 M&amp;M&#8217;s Toyota, walks onstage during driver intros prior to the NASCAR Cup Series YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway on October 02, 2022 in Talladega, Alabama. (Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images) Kyle Buschâ€™s family Rowdy was born on May 2, 1985, in Las Vegas, Nevada to Tom and Gaye Busch. His first motor racing experience came at the age of six with go-karts. Reports suggest that Kyle Busch was not tall enough to reach the throttle in his first race around the street near his home. His father controlled the pedal while Rowdy drove as per reports. Busch also worked in his familyâ€™s garage and worked as a crew chief for his only sibling (2004 Cup Series champion and 2017 Daytona 500 winner) Kurt Busch at the age of 10 in dwarf car racing. Kyle Busch and Kurt Busch | Credits: Imago Kyle Busch&#8217;s Wife and ChildrenÂ  Rowdy has been in a long and successful marriage to Samantha Busch for 14 years now. The couple got married on December 31, 2010. They met in 2007 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. At the time, Samantha was a student at Purdue University and apparently, Kyle was too shy to ask her out first time. Well, good that he mustered up the courage to eventually do so otherwise we wouldâ€™ve been robbed of one of the most wholesome NASCAR couples. Kyle and Samantha have two kids, Brexton Locke Busch and Lennix Key Busch. Brexton is the older of the two and is following his fatherâ€™s footsteps. In fact, he seems to have gotten Rowdyâ€™s talents as he has already made a big impact in the junior racing community. The couple love their kids to death but they faced a lot of issues while conceiving, especially with Lennix. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS &#8211; SEPTEMBER 11: Kyle Busch, driver of the #18 M&amp;M&#8217;s Toyota, spends time with his wife Samantha and daughter Lennix Key on the grid prior to the NASCAR Cup Series Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway on September 11, 2022 in Kansas City, Kansas. (Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images) In 2018, Kyle and Samantha were supposed to welcome their second child to the world. At the time Brexton was just over 3 years old. However, their dreams were shattered and on November 30 of that year, Samantha shared the news of suffering a miscarriage. The couple had been struggling with infertility for the longest time and had turned to IVF to conceive. When it did not work out in 2018, they decided that a surrogate would be a better option. So, in 2022, when Lennix Key Busch was born, they were absolutely overjoyed. Kyle Busch Net Worth 2024Â  Throughout his career, Kyle Busch has earned several accolades. Winning championships and races come to him naturally. When one keeps on winning, they get richer and itâ€™s safe to say that Rowdy is one of the wealthiest drivers in NASCAR today. According to several sources, the 2-time Cup Series champion has an estimated net worth of a whopping $80 million. As per zacjohnson.com, Busch makes roughly $16-19 million annually. Being one of the most popular NASCAR drivers today, Rowdy has no trouble pulling sponsors. The former Cup Series champion recently extended deals with Cheddarâ€™s Scratch Kitchen and Lucas Oil. His current list of partners also include Lenovo, 3CHI, Alsco, Bet MGM, and more. Apart from racing, these partnerships are a big part of Rowdyâ€™s earnings. Him being a team owner for quite a long time also contributes to that. Kyle Busch Career Timeline Though Kyle Busch has been familiar with race tracks from the young age of six having driven in go-karts, the racer began his professional racing career after his 13th birthday, in 1998 with legends car racing. And in a short while, he made his presence known by racking up two track championships at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Bullring short-track. Soon he moved to late model racing where he ten races during the 2001 season. And soon enough, NASCAR came calling. At the young age of 16, Busch made his Craftsman Truck Series debut at the Indianapolis Raceway Park for Roush Racing after replacing truck series driver Nathan Haseleu, and secured a P9. Not bad for a debut race! The driver made his full-time Cup Series debut in 2005 for Hendrick Motorsports and secured nine Top-5s, in addition to two victories at California Speedway and Phoenix International Raceway. Kyle Busch Partnerships and Endorsements While sponsorship woes might have marked an end to his time at Joe Gibbs Racing, his new team, Richard Childress Racing has backed him pretty well on that front. The No. 8 car of Kyle Busch enjoys an extended partnership with multiple brands like US restaurant chain brand Cheddar&#8217;s Scratch Kitchen, hemp-derived product manufacturer 3CHI, rental company Alsco, sports betting company BetMGM and consumer electronics company Lenovo. Apart from that Lucas Oil also signed as a multi-race primary sponsor, Rebel Bourbon came onboard as new anchor partner for the 2024 season, Zone Nicotine Pouches joined in alongside Global Industrial who will sponsor Busch for select races in 2024.

There are several ventures that he has started or partnered with so far in his life, one of them being Rowdy Nation. Fans can get an official Kyle Busch fan membership and exclusive merchandise from the platform. He also got a return on his investment through one of his properties in 2023. Rowdy sold his North Carolina house. The home was 15,000 sq feet and was built on 1.4 acres of land near Lake Norman, with a side of the house facing the water body. It was listed for $13 Million and the real estate agent was Heather Gibbs, daughter-in-law of NASCAR team owner Joe Gibbs and NASCAR racer Ty Gibbs&#8217; mother.Â  Kyle Busch NASCAR Career Stats To say that Kyle Busch has had an iconic career wouldn&#8217;t be an understatement. In his illustrious career, the driver has won 63 of 679 races in the NASCAR Cup Series. Apart from that, he also has 373 Top-10s and 33 poles. In NASCAR&#8217;s second tier division, the Xfinity Series, the driver has 102 victories from 366 races, along with 70 pole positions and 266 Top-10s. In the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, Busch has 65 wins in 170 races, 138 Top-10s and 23 poles. In NASCAR&#8217;s top division, the driver has an average start and average finish of 12.2 and 13.81, respectively. Kyle Busch Records If you thought Kyle Busch&#8217;s list of accolades end here, you were sorely mistaken. The #8 driver is the first in NASCAR Cup Series history to win on every track competed. He was also the first driver to win one race in each of NASCAR&#8217;s three divisions in one weekend. Apart from that, the driver held on to his superiority by winning at least one race in the NASCAR Cup Series for 19 consecutive seasons. He also tops the list for the most wins in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series with 64 victories to his name. His most recent win came in February 2024, when he won the Truck Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Mandatory Credit: John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports Kyle Busch Major Achievements and Awards Kyle Busch has won several honors in his career and it would take anyone far too long to list all of them. So here are some of his most notable ones. Rowdy is a 2-time Cup Series champion and a 1-time Xfinity Series champion. He has won the Brickyard 400 twice, the Southern 500 once, the Coca-Cola 600 once, and the All-Star race once. The NASCAR legend has made his mark in other competitions as well, winning the Snowball Derby on two different occasions. He also holds the record for the most wins by a driver in the Xfinity and Truck Series. Apart from that, he was also inducted into NASCAR&#8217;s 75 Greatest Drivers list in 2023. Charity and Foundation Kyle Busch, along with his wife, chairs The Samantha and Kyle Busch Bundle of Joy fund. According to its official website, â€œThe Samantha and Kyle Busch Bundle of Joy Fund is dedicated to advocating for infertility education and awareness and removing financial barriers by granting monetary awards to couples who require fertility treatments to have their own bundle of joy.â€ The statistics on the charityâ€™s website suggest that they have awarded 116 grants and generated $1,509,880. They have also facilitated the birth of 83 babies so far. Itâ€™s safe to say that the couple did not want anyone to suffer as much as they did in order to conceive and have helped several families as a result. Kyle Busch Motorsports Kyle Busch dabbled into the ownership line in NASCAR not too long after making his debut in the Cup Series. Kyle Busch Motorsports was founded in the year 2010 and they have been quite successful in the NASCAR Truck Series with two championships. The team had also won the ARCA East Series. KBM has been a venture that was close to Rowdyâ€™s heart but he took the tough decision to sell it in 2023, with Spire Motorsports being the buyer. Although the fee for the sale was not immediately made public, Charlotte Business Journal reported it to be close to $14.5 million. Kyle Busch and Alex Bowman rivalry Itâ€™s safe to say that Alex Bowman and Kyle Busch are not the best of friends. They have not always raced each other very clean and after one race, Rowdy lost his cool with the Hendrick Motorsports driver. It was the 2022 race in Las Vegas, and Busch was in prime position to win the Cup Series race. However, a late crash involving Erik Jones and Bubba Wallace brought out the caution with less than 2 laps to go. As a result, Alex Bowman was able to get on fresh tires and snatch the win away from the then-Joe Gibbs Racing driver. On the team radio after the race, Rowdy expressed his feelings towards Bowman and it was not pretty. â€œSame f****** guy who backs into every f****** win that he ever f****** gets, backs into another f****** win,â€ he said. Kyle Busch and Joey Logano rivalry Another driver that Kyle Busch might not have too great of a relationship with is Joey Logano. The two drivers are infamous for causing a bloody fistfight in Las Vegas in 2017. As the race progressed, Logano was racing quite hard and while in close quarters with Rowdy, he turned the #18 Joe Gibbs Racing car. What ensued on the pit road after this was chaos. Rowdy confronted Logano and threw a vicious punch that seemed to somewhat catch the driver of the #22. The two drivers were then surrounded by people trying to separate them as they fought each other. In the end, Busch seemed to come off it worse with a cut on his forehead. It was one of the few times Busch went full &#8216;rowdy&#8217;.

(Photo by Tom Pennington/Getty Images) Kyle Busch ControversiesÂ  Rowdy got himself into trouble with the Mexican authorities in January of 2023 as he breached the countryâ€™s gun laws. According to the Associated Press, Kyle Busch was detained at a Mexican airport after authorities discovered a handgun and ammunition in his luggage. Initially, he was sentenced to prison for 3-and-a-half years and was ordered to pay a fine of $1,000. However, he was allowed to leave Mexico after paying a bond.Â  He got into trouble with the authorities in 2011 at home. Busch was cited for speeding 128 mph in a 45 mph speed limit zone. The incident took place near Troutman, North Carolina, on May 24. Kyle Busch and M&amp;M&#8217;S One of Rowdyâ€™s oldest sponsors was M&amp;M&#8217;S. Busch was with the company for 15 years before they decided to drop him. This led Rowdy to switch teams and move from Joe Gibbs Racing to Richard Childress Racing in 2023. However, with the M&amp;M on his carâ€™s hood, Busch has seen some of the best moments of his career, including his 2 Cup wins and countless race victories.
