Whitney Dillon (aka Whitney Ward), the wife of Austin Dillon, shared some pictures from of Blaizey's birthday party. Dillon, and Co. arranged the birthday party for their daughter, Blaizey, who turned one-year-old recently.

RCR driver Austin Dillon and Whitney Ward have been married since December 2017, and they have two children, a boy named Ace, born in 2020, and a girl, Blaizey, who was born in 2023.

Whitney Ward, along with her family members, celebrated Blaizey's first birthday at a decked-up place designed by the Haute House Kids. Besides Austin Dillon and his wife, Shawnee Ward, the latter's mother and sister graced the occasion.

Interestingly, Jack Arnold, an international BBQ event host, and Paul Swan were also present for the occasion. Swan is a professional rally driver, NASCAR strength coach, and pit crew for RCR. He is also a cast member of Dillon's Reality TV show "Life in the Fast Lane".

"Blaizey boo's 1st birthday party," wrote Whitney Ward in the post where she shared multiple photos from Blaizey's birthday party.

While talking to sports anchor Lindsay Czarniak in 2020, Austin Dillon recalled about meeting his future wife. The RCR driver said:

“I fjust thought it was cool, you know. And she’s a cheerleader, I get heart. So, like the first night, I was sixteenth in that race. I was kind of bombed after, and she was like, ‘Man, I wanted to get on that radio and tell you, ‘Let’s go! You’re doing good!”

Whitney Ward co-owns a jewelry company for a living. She is the co-owner of Shop The WM, based in Lexington, North Carolina.

Austin Dillon's last Cup Series race win came two years back when he won the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at the Daytona International Speedway in 2022. This season, the 34-year-old is currently 31st in the Drivers' standings at the NASCAR Cup Series with 211 points to his name.

Dillon has had only two Top-10 finishes so far in 2024. The first of these was an eighth-place finish at the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400, which took place at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth. His second and most recent Top-10 finish was ending sixth at the Enjoy Illinois 300. Unfortunately, Dillon followed this with a DNF at the Toyota/Save Mart 350 in Sonoma.

The 34-year-old's brother Ty Dillon, who is a part-timer for Kaulig Racing, has featured in only three races in this season's Cup Series, with his best performance being finishing 16th at the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 in Texas. His most recent Cup Series outing was at the Coca-Cola 600, finishing 36th.
