Biography, Age

Chase Elliot was born November 28, 1995, in Dawsonville, Georgia as William Clyde Elliott II to one time Sprint Cup Series champion Bill Elliott. Being the son of Bill, it is almost certain that his father’s career influenced and rubbed off on him. Watching his father race and win several championships inspired Chase to want to do nothing else in life than just drive and that is what he has ended up doing.

He began racing in the X-1R Pro Cup stock car series when he was just fourteen years of age and was quite promising, winning once and notching 10 top-10 finishes in 11 starts.

By the age of fifteen, Chase didn’t only win the International Speedway, the overall Sunoco Gulf Coast championship, he also won the Miller Lite Series at Mobile (Ala) and the Blizzard Series at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Fla, what makes these winnings spectacular is that, he was the youngest driver to win all of these titles.

The following year (2011), the young and skilled driver landed a three years developmental contract with Hendricks Motorsports. Explaining in a statement released at the time why the company has chosen to invest in Elliot, the CEO, and owner of Hendrick Motorsports, Rick Hendrick said it was obvious that the apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree as he sees those same traits in Bill in his son Chase – his natural driving talent and an awareness of what he needs to do away from the track to be successful.

At the expiration of the three years contract, the company in January 2015, announced that Elliott would then be joining them as a full-time Sprint Cup driver. The news came exactly at the same time Elliott was been celebrated as the youngest driver in the history of NASCAR to win the national series championship.  In 2016, he was crowned the 2016 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Rookie of the Year.

In 2017, Chase Elliott won the pole for the Daytona 500 for the second year in a row. His most recent win is 2017 Alpha Energy Solutions 250 (Martinsville). Asides from racing, Elliot has made some television appearances and has also been featured as a playable driver in video games.
