NASCAR Champ Chase Elliott Opening More Doors
Prepping for his first Rolex 24
Elliott has raced late models on pavement and recently dirt midgets
Teammate in IMSA to his former NASCAR teammate Jimmie Johnson
Chase Elliott, 2020 NASCAR Cup champion, has nothing to prove, but he insists on proving anyway that he loves racing – any kind of racing – whether it is pavement late models at the Snowball Derby in Pensacola, Florida, in December; dirt midgets at the Chili Bowl last week, and this week, the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship’s Daytona Prototypes.
“I just want to broaden my horizons,” he said in a video interview. Being a Cup champion – not to mention a very good driver, be it on an oval or a road course – has opened some doors to rides in other forms of motorsports, and Elliott is walking through as many as he can.
