NASCAR driver and former Daytona 500 winner Austin Dillon is in a mood for celebrations following the 2024 NASCAR campaign. While the driver endured a tumultuous season that was marred with a controversial decision surrounding his Richmond win earlier in August, the 34-year-old is taking his post-season to spend some much-needed quality time with his family as he prepares for 2025.

Austin's wife, Whitney Dillon recently shared a series of pictures on her Instagram handle, showcasing glimpses of their family celebrating holidays. The couple can be seen enjoying the holiday season with her kids and the rest of their family.

Whitney and Austin’s journey together began nearly a decade ago when they met in 2015. The couple got engaged about a year later. Whitney, a former cheerleader for the Tennessee Titans, has since built her career as a lifestyle blogger, reality TV star, and entrepreneur. She also has a jewelry line, Shop the WM. She also remains an active figure on social media, amassing over 200,000 followers.

What was the controversy surrounding Austin Dillon's Richmond win?

Dillon emerged victorious in the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series Cook Out 400 race at Richmond Raceway on August 11. He finished ahead of Joe Gibbs driver Denny Hamlin, bringing an end to a win-drought that had lasted nearly two years.

The win was also significant to RCR's playoff aspirations: it would have sealed a playoff berth for the No. 3 team after their dismal 2023 campaign. However, drama emerged following the race as Austin Dillon's actions that led to victory were heavily criticized by drivers, pundits, and fans alike.

Dillon, who was four places behind race leader Joey Logano in the final moments of the race, sent his car into the back of Logano's #22 Ford. The action led to a crash, also engulfing Denny Hamlin's #11 Toyota Camry in the process.

NASCAR’s response further fueled the debate. While the win stood, Dillon was stripped of his playoff eligibility. Additional penalties included a $50,000 fine for Logano and a three-race suspension for Dillon’s spotter, Brandon Benesch, who was heard instructing Dillon to “wreck him” over team radio. An appeals panel later reduced Benesch’s suspension to one race but upheld the other penalties.
