Chase Elliott’s supporters are some of the most enthusiastic in the NASCAR community. Hendrick Motorsports has a larger and more passionate fan base than any other NASCAR driver. Over the past six years, Elliott has received the Most Popular Driver award, thanks to the fans he inherited from his father and former Cup champion. His father holds the record for winning the same award 16 times.
As a result, it is not uncommon to see the driver of the No. 9 Chevrolet from HMS being surrounded by autograph seekers wherever he goes. Over the years, he has signed some interesting autographs. However, Elliott’s best autograph moment occurred this week when he was asked to sign a baby. Hendrick Motorsports shared a video of this encounter on their social media platforms.
The 2020 Cup Series champion took care not to harm the baby while signing the autograph. He simply marked his initials on the baby’s shirt, which already had the name Elliott on it. This will surely be a cherished memory for the baby as he grows up and realizes the magnitude of Chase Elliott’s stardom.
Discussing his expectations for the main 600-mile race on Sunday, the Hendrick Motorsports driver expressed his desire to go all the way. He intends to have a clean race and make it to the finish line.
According to the 2014 Cup champion, who predicted a win for Chase Elliott in the event, the No. 9 car has the potential to perform even better. He believes that Elliott’s clean racing style will give him an advantage and help secure the crucial victory.
So far in the 2024 season, Chase Elliott has been one of the most consistent drivers. He has not finished outside the top-20 and has only finished outside the top-15 once. In the last five races, he has only finished outside the top-5 once, demonstrating that he is in great form and has the potential to win the Coca Cola 600.
