In a heartwarming and unexpected revelation, NASCAR superstar Chase Elliott shared some personal news that sent waves of excitement — and surprise — through the racing community. During a press event following his latest top-5 finish, Elliott stunned fans by announcing that his longtime partner, Ashley Anderson, is 10 weeks pregnant with twins.
“I’ve always lived life in the fast lane — but nothing could have prepared me for this,” Elliott said with a grin. “Ashley and I are thrilled, nervous, and unbelievably grateful.”
The announcement alone would’ve been enough to dominate headlines. But what came next is what truly left NASCAR fans stunned and deeply moved.
Just hours after the press conference, the Elliott family — led by Chase, Ashley, and his father, NASCAR Hall of Famer Bill Elliott — released a joint statement revealing that they had established a new charitable initiative called the “Twin Hearts Foundation.” The foundation will focus on providing support and financial assistance to expecting parents of multiples, particularly those facing high-risk pregnancies or economic hardship.
“We’ve been so blessed,” Chase wrote on social media. “We know not every family has the resources or support system they need during such a special — and challenging — time. We want to change that.”
The foundation, funded initially with $500,000 from the Elliott family, will partner with hospitals across Georgia and other parts of the Southeast to provide:
Pre- and post-natal care for mothers of twins and triplets
Mental health counseling for overwhelmed parents
Temporary housing for families during high-risk pregnancies
Diapers, formula, and medical supplies for infants born prematurely
The response from fans has been nothing short of overwhelming. Thousands of supporters took to social media to congratulate the couple, with many sharing their own stories of raising twins and the unique challenges it brings.
“Chase has always been one of the good guys on the track,” one fan tweeted. “But this just took my respect for him to a whole new level.”
Ashley Anderson, who has kept a relatively low profile despite her relationship with one of NASCAR’s biggest stars, shared a short but touching message of her own:
“I can’t wait to be a mom — and I’m honored to be part of something that will help others through this beautiful, wild journey.”
Meanwhile, Bill Elliott, affectionately known as “Awesome Bill from Dawsonville,” expressed nothing but pride.
“I thought winning the Daytona 500 was special,” he said. “But being a grandfather to twins — and seeing Chase step up like this — that’s something else entirely.”
As Chase Elliott continues his quest for a championship this season, it’s clear that his most meaningful race is unfolding off the track — a race to support families, honor the gift of life, and redefine what legacy looks like in the world of motorsport.
