Chase Elliott will donate part of the $100 thousand bounty win to Kyle Busch’s The Bundle of Joy Fund. Additionally, he will make donations to the Red Cross and Feed the Children’s COVID-19 response.

Yesterday, Elliott posted a tweet revealing the details of the 100k bounty donation. He wrote that he’ll be giving the cash to three charities. Chase won the $100k bounty offered by Kevin Harvick and Camping World‘s Marcus Lemonis to anyone who can defeat Kyle Busch in the NASCAR Truck Series race at Charlotte.

He wrote in his tweet,A lot of y’all have been asking about the bounty money and what I decided to do with it, so here’s where we landed: @KevinHarvick 50k – Feed the Children COVID 19 response. @marcuslemonis and @CampingWorld 50k – 25k to the Res Cross AND 25k to @KyleBusch Foundation.”

He explained that Harvick’s portion of $50,000 will go to Feed the Children’s COVID-19 response. And Lemonis’s $50,000 will be distributed equally between the ‘Red Cross’ and Kyle Busch’s Bundle of Joy Fund.

After that, Kyle acknowledged Elliott’s donation in a tweet. He wrote, “That’s really a great gesture @chaseelliott as @samanthabusch and I greatly appreciate what kind of help that will bring to the @bundleofjoyfund. Thank you for pushing to make that happen! Well done”

Notably, a few weeks ago, Kyle and Chase were involved in an on-track incident. And their relationship have become very competitive after that. After Elliott broke Kyle’s seven-race streak and won the bounty race, he did Kyle signature celebration to mock him. However, this donation proves that the rivalry is only on the track and not in their personal life.
