Since winning the Daytona 500 in 2014, Austin Dillon has become one of the most recognizable names in NASCAR. But while his career on the track has been successful, his life off the track has been just as rewarding. In the past few years, Dillon has become a father and has continued to make a name for himself in the racing world.
In 2017, Dillon and his wife Whitney welcomed their first child, a daughter named Acelyn. Since then, Dillon has become a devoted father and has made it a priority to spend as much time as possible with his daughter. He often takes her to the track with him and has even been known to take her on the track with him during practice sessions.
In addition to being a father, Dillon has continued to make a name for himself in the racing world. In 2019, he won the NASCAR Cup Series championship and was named the series’ Most Popular Driver. He also won the Daytona 500 for the second time in 2020, becoming the first driver to win the race twice since Dale Earnhardt Jr. in 2014.
Dillon has also become a leader in the racing community, speaking out on issues such as safety and diversity. He has been vocal about the need for more diversity in the sport and has been a strong advocate for the NASCAR Drive for Diversity program.
As Dillon continues to make a name for himself in the racing world, he is also making sure to spend quality time with his family. He and his wife recently welcomed their second child, a son named Ryder, and Dillon is looking forward to watching his children grow up and become involved in the sport he loves.
In the coming years, Dillon will continue to be a leader in the racing community and a devoted father. He will continue to make a name for himself on the track and off, and will be a role model for young drivers everywhere.
