When it comes to the most popular drivers in NASCAR, Chase Elliott always makes it to the top of the list. And it is not just because he won the Most Popular Driver’s award in 2023. The Hendrick driver is only in his 8th full-cup season and has already gained immense success by bagging 19 Cup wins and a championship in 2020.
In 2016, he was handed legendary Jeff Gordon’s #9 car, the car that claimed 4 championships and 93 wins in its time with Gordon. Splendidly shouldering the responsibility, Elliott was quick to become a fan favorite. Besides his on-track performance, his off-track charm, good looks, and calm demeanor have made him popular amongst the ladies. Recently, he’s gained the cutest admirer who is hell-bent on having Elliott as her boyfriend, and fans are loving the possessiveness!
Kyle Busch’s daughter is a Chase Elliott fangirl
We all know how female fans go gaga when Chase Elliott comes to the tracks and interacts with them. A 2017 video comes to mind when Elliott met many of his fans ahead of the Bristol race. Several women were waiting to meet him, to click photos and get autographs. A girl even said that she was waiting for 5 hours for the HMS driver to arrive! But the Georgia native has fans in all age groups and his recent admirer has to be the cutest.
Recently, Kyle Busch’s wife, Samantha Busch, recorded a video of her daughter Lennix asking her, “Who’s your boyfriend?” Well, it was a no-brainer for the 2-year-old as she firmly replied, “Chase Elliott!” Parents enjoy getting funny reactions and recording adorable conversations with their toddlers. In a similar attempt, the heartfelt video continued with Samantha, asking Lennix if Chase Elliott was aware of this. She adorably replies, “Yes!” A brief meeting with Elliott was enough for Lennix to fall in love with him. As it was him saying, “Hi, nice to meet you, Lennix,” which gave the toddler assurance of him being her boyfriend!
And with the season soon ending, Lennix has big plans with Elliott for the postseason. Like all kids, Lennix is a huge fan of the animated film ‘Frozen’ and especially of the protagonist ‘Elsa’. Further in the video when Samantha Busch asks little Lenny, “Who are you going to watch Elsa with?” She remains unwavering with her answer, you guessed it right, “Chase Elliott!” Apparently, the 2-year-old has a movie date planned with the HMS driver. Here, take a look at this cute video:

Kyle Busch and Samantha Busch have two children. They welcomed their first child, Brexton Busch, on May 18, 2015. And their youngest child, Lennix, was born on May 11, 2022. Samantha, who is a social media influencer, actively posts adorable videos of Lennix, having fans of her own now. Only recently, in a video, she was seen performing donuts in her pink Barbie-themed Corvette.

Fans are always eagerly waiting for the next Lennix video, as whose day wouldn’t be made watching her? And fans have loved her recent declaration of the #9 being her man now! Hopefully, Elliott’s girlfriend, Ashley Anderson, has no problems with this.
Fans are awestruck seeing Lennix’s confession
While Elliott has not yet responded to Samantha Busch’s Instagram video, it doesn’t seem like he’s got much of a choice than to say yes to the movie date. The way Lennix stomps her leg and says Elliott is her boyfriend, she is not taking no for an answer. One fan on this wrote, “Does Chase know what he’s in for she’s so precious.” Another fan echoed the same emotions when he wrote, “Haha, cutest thing ever! How could Chase say no to that? How can Elliott say ‘no’? He knows who her father is and why he is called “Rowdy.” Some fans commented hilariously asking if Kyle Busch knows about this!
The fan wrote, “Oh my gosh. And how does Mr Busch feel about that.” This comes since Busch and Elliott have not had the friendliest of interactions recently. Like in the spring Darlington race when Busch turned Elliott into the wall leaving the #9 driver furious. Or the 2019 Bristol race, which was a thrilling showdown, particularly during its final laps. Busch, in a daring move, overtook Elliott, seizing the lead. This intense exchange set the stage for a nail-biting final lap, culminating in a dramatic finish.
Also, all the female fans in Samantha Busch’s comment section agreed with Lennix’s choice! One such fan wrote, “I think that’s a great choice, Lennix” And Lennix is not the only one who admires Elliott. She’s got tough competition from Lydia Johnson, the nine-year-old daughter of Jimmie Johnson, who has time and again called Elliott her favorite driver. This shows Elliott’s huge popularity among females regardless of their age.
Speaking of popularity, the voting for NASCAR’s most popular driver for 2024 is on and the results are due on November 22. Elliott might get it back-to-back with this new addition to his list of admirers. One fan on the same note wrote, “We know who she’s voting for most popular driver”
