Baby makes three for NASCAR’s Austin Dillon and his wife, Whitney. Which seems fitting, since Austin drives the #3 car for Richard Childress Racing!
Austin and Whitney announced their pregnancy in December 2019. “DILLON PARTY OF 3 Coming June 2020,” Whitney wrote in a post on Instagram. The couple posed for a photo that shows them holding up a sonogram and a tiny jacket that said “Baby Dillon” along with the number 3.
Austin wore a jacket that said “Daddy” on the back and Whitney’s said “Mama.”
The jackets’ details can be seen in additional snapshots Whitney shared from her and Austin’s pregnancy announcement photo session. You can even spot their dog in one of the pictures!

The Dillons hosted a gender reveal party in February to find out if they’d be welcoming a boy or girl. Whitney then shared some pictures from the celebration on Instagram and announced “ITS A BOYYYY!!!”
The couple had friends and family shoot confetti cannons into the air and a bunch of blue confetti rained down on them. You can tell based on Whitney and Austin’s reactions that they were thrilled!

Finally, baby Dillon made his grand debut on Sunday (June 14). Austin announced the news on social media and made it clear he was over-the-moon in love with his son, who he and Whitney named Ace.
“Wow, @whitneydillon you amaze me everyday! This by far is your biggest feat yet. My love for you and @acedillon3 is Agape Love,” Austin wrote. He also posted a picture of him snuggling up to Whitney and baby Ace in the hospital.
