Amid High-Profile Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce Romance, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Seemingly Reveals Chase Elliott’s Relationship Status, Deeming the Hendrick Star “Our Hope”

There’s no doubt that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship has taken over pop culture by storm. There simply isn’t a celebrity couple today who garners headlines and attention as much as those two. But this made a NASCAR fan curious about what would their equivalent be in stock car racing. So that fan posed this very question to none other than Dale Earnhardt Jr.

During a recent segment of his podcast in which he answers a series of questions from the fans, Earnhardt Jr. was asked about the NASCAR equivalent of Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce. The fan also ensured to give a couple of names as to who it could be. Those names were Denny Hamlin and Ryan Blaney.

However, Junior’s answer had another driver’s name, but a very obvious one.

Responding to the fan’s question, Earnhardt claimed that Ryan Blaney would be out of the question considering he is “off the market.” He then claimed that of all the drivers in NASCAR, “Chase Elliott is our hope” in this regard, seemingly confirming that NASCAR’s most popular driver is in fact, single.

Earnhardt recalled Elliott’s viral moment with TikTok star and gymnast Livy Dunne earlier this year. “I believe that Chase went to NASCAR and said, ‘I think she is cool. I’d love to meet her. And I think it would be great for NASCAR if you invited her to come to the track. It would show, maybe some of her fans might be curious as to why she was there and they may, in turn, experience NASCAR for the first time,'” he described.

“I believe Chase would’ve leveraged that actually happening, which would’ve been cool on Chase’s part. If anybody, it’s going to be Chase Elliott, if anybody can create that type of buzz in the sport, it would be him.”

Is Chase Elliott a Taylor Swift fan?

With the idea of being a Swiftie becoming so mainstream these days, one wonders if Chase Elliott is a Taylor Swift fan too. But unfortunately for the Swiftie NASCAR fans who also support the Hendrick driver, the answer is no.

“You know, I am not really sure that I would consider myself a Swiftie,” he said. “But I feel like I should get on the bandwagon.”

The Hendrick star claimed that being a Swiftie seems like “a lot of fun” and who doesn’t like her, anyway? He concluded his answer by adding that he was on board to be a Swiftie.
