Kasey Kahne celebrates his daughter’s birthday in a special way as Ana Danielle turns three, sharing family moments away from racing. The former NASCAR Cup Series driver marked the occasion this week with a heartfelt message and family photos posted online.
Family-Centered Celebration Marks Ana’s Third Birthday
Kahne’s social media post featured snapshots of joyful times with Ana and longtime partner Amy Long, showing a shift from his racing career to fatherhood. The post captured the spirit of the occasion with:
“Happy 3rd birthday sweet Ana. You make every minute of every day brighter. We love you so much.”
Kasey Kahne has two children—son Tanner, born in 2015 with former partner Sammy Sheets, and daughter Ana, born in 2023. Since stepping back from full-time NASCAR competition in 2018, Kahne’s focus has moved strongly toward his family. Amy Long joined in the festivities, posting a video montage of Ana’s playful moments throughout the year. She shared her own message:
“Happy birthday to my sweet baby! What a full year it’s been! Ana, you truly are the joy of my life. I love watching you brighten other’s days, share kindness and silliness everywhere you go!”
Support poured in from family, close friends, and members of the racing community, including fellow racers and industry standouts like Mark Martin. Messages of love and well wishes marked Ana’s birthday as a genuine family highlight for Kahne and Long.
Time Away from Racing Offers Quality Family Experiences
Along with the birthday celebration, the Kahne family recently enjoyed a winter retreat in Telluride. During the break, Kahne posted images and videos of snowy activities with his children, such as sledding and tubing down hills together. He celebrated the fun times with another post:
“New snow over night made for a fun sled hill.”
This quiet getaway showcased Kahne’s embrace of fatherhood and his enjoyment of peaceful moments with his children, Tanner and Ana. The downtime also served as a brief pause before the racing calendar resumes for the year.
Kahne’s Post-Racing Life and Ongoing Motorsport Involvement
While enjoying family milestones, Kasey Kahne remains active in the racing scene as the head of Kasey Kahne Racing. He continues to participate in select High Limit sprint races and manages team operations. Recently, changes in his team’s roster, including Brad Sweet’s departure from the KKR High Limit Racing team, have required Kahne’s attention during the offseason.
Although Kahne’s name has appeared in NASCAR discussions—especially with Ram’s new Truck Series venture with Kaulig Racing and his Xfinity start at Rockingham—there has been no official indication of a full-time return to the track. For now, Kahne’s priority lies with his responsibilities as a team owner and his commitment to his children.
The recent birthday celebration and winter vacation highlight how Kahne’s focus has shifted toward family, even as his reputation in the racing world remains strong. Fans and observers will be watching closely for news from Kasey Kahne Racing and potential future announcements as Kahne balances parenting and racing ambitions.
