As the NASCAR Cup Series regular season barrels toward its dramatic conclusion this Saturday at Daytona International Speedway, all eyes aren't just on the track. Ross Chastain's girlfriend, country singer Jordyn Mallory, is stealing the spotlight online with a scorching new swimsuit photo that has fans hitting the like button faster than a pit stop.
Mallory, who has been dating Chastain since at least 2025, has become a familiar face in the NASCAR paddock, often seen alongside the driver at high-profile events like the CMA Awards and the NASCAR Awards Banquet. But it's her social media presence that's truly revving engines.
Earlier this week, Mallory shared a video of herself and Chastain tearing around Bristol Motor Speedway, clinging to her seat as they flew through the high banks. Now, she's heating things up with a tropical vacation throwback that has her 54,000 Instagram followers buzzing.
In the photo, Mallory basks in the sun-drenched beauty of Turks and Caicos, captioning the post, "Ok ok one last post because this trip exceeded every expectation and I am shouting from the rooftops GO TO TURKS AND CAICOS." The post immediately went viral, with fans flooding the comments section to praise her style and adventurous spirit.
While Mallory enjoys her moment in the digital sun, Chastain faces a much tougher challenge on the track. The six-time Cup Series winner, who also boasts 75 top-10 finishes, finds himself in a precarious position as the regular season wraps up. Currently sitting 19th in the standings, Chastain knows that a win at Daytona is his only guaranteed ticket to the playoffs.
It's been a rough year for the driver of the No. 1 Chevrolet, who has struggled to find consistency in a season that has seen him fall short of expectations. But as the saying goes, fortune favors the bold, and Chastain has never been one to shy away from a high-risk move.
With Mallory cheering him on from the sidelines—and social media—Chastain will look to channel some of that viral energy into a breakthrough performance under the lights at Daytona. The Coke Zero Sugar 400 is known for producing wild finishes, and Chastain, who has a reputation for aggressive driving, could be the wildcard to shake up the playoff picture.
Off the track, Mallory's growing popularity is a testament to the couple's appeal beyond the racing world. Her blend of country charm and adventurous lifestyle resonates with fans, much like other sports personalities who have captured attention with their off-field moments, from Michael Strahan's girlfriend Kayla Quick to Tommy Paul's wife Paige Lorenze.
As the green flag drops on Saturday, Chastain will have more than just a race to win—he'll have a legion of new fans, including Mallory's followers, rooting for him to turn his season around. Whether it's a victory lane celebration or another heartbreak, one thing is certain: the spotlight will be on both driver and girlfriend.
