Soon To Be Haley Haley
Justin Haley used the opportunity between the Bristol Dirt Race and a free weekend to get engaged to his girlfriend Haley Mottinger.
The No. 31 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 driver popped the question to his girlfriend on 11 April 2023 at Chestoa View Overlook in Linville, North Carolina.
The couple has not been together long, but when you live your life at high speeds, things move quickly.
The interesting part of their union will probably be Haley’s name.
Because apparently, she will become Haley Haley if she decides to take Justin’s last name.
The SDSU alumnus was part of the winning shuttle hurdle relay at the Drake Relays.
They seem to be a perfect match for each other because Justin goes fast in a car, and Mottinger on her feet.
The Question
Justin had quite a venue to pop the question. With lush green background, he got on one knee and asked for Haley’s approval with a beautiful diamond ring.
The atmosphere was magical, and the vibe was great, Haley could not resist and said yes.
The couple shared their magical moment on their social media handle. Justin added four pictures of the special moment on his Instagram with a beautiful caption that read, “It’s incredible the impact you’ve made on my life in such a short amount of time. I’m so blessed to spend forever by your side. 🤍”.
