Chase Elliott is set to represent NASCAR in the "Love, Your Mind" national campaign focused on increasing the importance of mental health awareness. He will be joined by athletes from 10 different professional sports leagues in the US.
The awareness campaign is focused on prioritizing mental health. A series called "The Rituals We Share" will be released where professional athletes will share their rituals or habits through which they work on their mind and psychological health. Hendrick Motorsports driver Chase Elliott will represent NASCAR along with athletes from other sports including the likes of the NBA, MLB, MLS, and the NFL.
NASCAR SVP Pete Jung said:
“At NASCAR, we constantly witness the impact the human mind can have on physical performance, and we know this intersection of mental health and overall wellness applies to everyone in our community, not just those behind the wheel.
“We’re excited to team up with the ‘Love, Your Mind’ campaign to encourage open conversations and proactive steps toward mental wellness, and we look forward to leveraging NASCAR platforms to ensure our fans and the entire racing community feel empowered to prioritize their mental well-being."
The campaign has been started by the Hunstman Mental Health Institute and the Ad Council.
