GOOD NEWS: 5 NASCAR Drivers DECIDE to Get Married on Same Weekend in Surprise Announcement from NASCAR Couples Alliance — Fans Stunned by Joint Date Reveal**
*April 18, 2025 | Charlotte, NC*
In a story that has the NASCAR world buzzing with excitement, **five top-tier NASCAR Cup Series drivers** have stunned fans by announcing that they will all be **tying the knot on the same weekend this November** — in what’s being called the **first-ever “NASCAR Wedding Weekend.”**
The unprecedented announcement was made through a collaborative statement released by the **NASCAR Couples Alliance**, a newly formed group created to support drivers and their partners with personal milestones and off-track life events.
The drivers — all good friends off the track — reportedly made a pact last season to align their weddings for one unforgettable, love-filled weekend after the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series finale in Phoenix.
### The Couples Who Said “Yes”
The five power couples officially confirmed for the NASCAR Wedding Weekend are:
– **Ryan Blaney & Madison Taylor**, longtime girlfriend and motorsports PR executive
– **William Byron & Erin James**, former high school sweethearts turned business partners
– **Tyler Reddick & Lexi Rivers**, parents of two and engaged since 2023
– **Chase Briscoe & Callie Thompson**, together since Xfinity days
– **Corey LaJoie & Olivia Carter**, low-key couple who shocked fans with their inclusion
Each couple will host **separate private ceremonies** in various locations across North Carolina and Tennessee, but the celebrations will culminate in a **joint “Victory Lane Reception Gala”** at the NASCAR Hall of Fame on **Sunday, November 23, 2025** — two weeks after the championship race.
> “We’ve shared wins, losses, crashes, and champagne together,” Blaney said. “Might as well share our weddings too.”

### How the Idea Started
According to sources close to the group, the idea was born during a rain delay at Martinsville in late 2024. The five drivers — all engaged at the time — were joking in the hauler about how chaotic their off-seasons would be.
> “Chase Briscoe said, ‘What if we all just did it the same weekend?’ and everyone laughed,” recalled Byron. “But then we started seriously thinking… why not?”
They looped in NASCAR leadership, who not only supported the idea but offered logistical help, travel coordination, and even custom gifts for each couple.

### NASCAR’s Official Blessing
**NASCAR President Steve Phelps** praised the group’s unity and said the league was “thrilled to support them.”
> “This is one of the most wholesome moments in the sport’s recent history. These are young men who’ve grown up in the garage together — now they’re stepping into the next chapter of life, together. We’re honored to celebrate with them.”
Phelps confirmed that the **Hall of Fame Gala** will be a **private but livestreamed event** for fans, with behind-the-scenes footage, interviews, and special musical performances planned.

### Drivers Joke About the Logistics
