Chase Elliott
American racing driver (born 1995) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Clyde "Chase" Elliott II (born November 28, 1995)[1] is an American professional stock car racing driver. He competes full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series, driving the No. 9 Chevrolet ZL1 for Hendrick Motorsports, and part-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, driving the No. 17 Chevrolet Camaro for Hendrick Motorsports.[2] Elliott won the 2014 NASCAR Nationwide Series championship, becoming the first rookie and the youngest driver to win a national series championship in NASCAR history.
Elliott began racing full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series in 2016, taking over the iconic No. 24 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports, previously driven by Jeff Gordon.[2] That same year, he earned the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Rookie of the Year award. In 2020, he won the Cup Series championship in Phoenix, Arizona, marking Hendrick Motorsports' first title since 2016. Elliott has amassed 19 career Cup Series victories, including seven on road courses.
He is the son of 1988 Winston Cup Series champion Bill Elliott. The Elliotts are the fourth father-son duo in NASCAR history, joining Lee and Richard Petty, as well as Ned and Dale Jarrett along with Bobby and Davey Allison

Perspective
Early career and short track racing
At age 13, Elliott was featured in the July 13, 2009, issue of Sports Illustrated alongside 13 other athletes, including future world number one golfer Jordan Spieth and future NBA second overall pick Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, as potential stars.[3] In 2010, Elliott competed in 40 races across various series, winning 12 events and finishing in the top ten 38 times.[4] During his third season of racing, he won the Blizzard Series, Miller Lite, and Gulf Coast championships and was named the Georgia Asphalt Pro Late Model Series Rookie of the Year.[4] He capped off the season by winning the prestigious Winchester 400. Sports Illustrated recognized Elliott as its High School Player of the Week in April 2011.[4] That year, he competed in the Champion Racing Association, claiming the National Super Late Model championship.[5] Shortly after turning 16, Elliott made history as the youngest winner of the Snowball Derby, edging out D.J. Vanderley by a record 0.229 seconds.[6][7] In 2012, Elliott added to his achievements by winning the Alan Turner Snowflake 100, the Snowball Derby's prelude race, for the second time in three years.[8]
In November 2013, Elliott won the All American 400, becoming the first driver to capture all four of the nation's premier short-track races: the All American 400, the Snowball Derby, the World Crown 300, and the Winchester 400.[9] The following month, Elliott initially appeared to make history by sweeping the Snowball Derby and Snowflake 100 in the same weekend. However, during a post-race inspection, his car was found to contain a prohibited piece of tungsten, resulting in his disqualification and the victory being awarded to Erik Jones.[10] Elliott later claimed the Snowball Derby title in 2015 after the original winner, Christopher Bell, was disqualified.[11]
ARCA Menards Series
Elliott competed in six ARCA Racing Series races in 2012 and five in 2013, driving the No. 9 car to gain experience on larger circuits. ARCA permits 17-year-old drivers to race at Pocono Raceway and Kentucky Speedway, which both have a minimum age of 18 in NASCAR. For ARCA, the minimum age for ovals longer than 1.25 miles (2,000 meters) is 18, while shorter tracks and road courses allow drivers as young as 16.[12] On June 8, 2013, Elliott made history at Pocono Raceway by becoming the youngest winner in ARCA superspeedway history.[13]
NASCAR
K&N Pro Series
Elliott signed a three-year driver development contract with Hendrick Motorsports in February.[4][14] In 2012, he competed in the K&N Pro Series East, driving the No. 9 car and finishing ninth in the season standings. Later that year, he returned to the series and secured his first career victory at Iowa Speedway in May, ultimately finishing fourth in the championship standings.[5][15]
Elliott competed in three NASCAR K&N Pro Series West races at Phoenix Raceway, once in 2011 and twice in 2012. In his 2011 race, he finished third. In 2012, he placed 17th in one race due to a crash and fourth in the other.[16]
Craftsman Truck Series
In January 2013, it was announced that Elliott would compete in nine NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series races for Hendrick Motorsports during the 2013 season, using trucks prepared by Turner Scott Motorsports.[12] During qualifying for the UNOH 200 at Bristol Motor Speedway, Elliott earned his first career NASCAR pole position with a lap speed of 125.183 mph (201.463 km/h), becoming the youngest pole-sitter in Truck Series history.[17]
Elliott secured his first career win in the Chevrolet Silverado 250 at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, the first road course race for the Truck Series held outside the United States. At the time, he became the youngest winner in Truck Series history at 17 years, 9 months, and 4 days.[18] This record stood until September 2014, when Cole Custer won at New Hampshire Motor Speedway at just 16 years, 7 months, and 28 days.[19] Elliott's victory, however, was not without controversy. On the final corner, he made contact with leader Ty Dillon, causing Dillon to hit the tire barrier. Elliott veered into the grass but managed to recover and cross the finish line ahead of Chad Hackenbracht from Kyle Busch Motorsports.[20] After the race, Dillon expressed his frustration, stating that the next time they raced, "he won't finish the race."[20] Elliott later mentioned that he tried to apologize to Dillon but received no response.[21] The following week at Iowa Speedway, Elliott cut down a tire early in the race and crashed, with no involvement from Dillon.[22]
In October 2016, Elliott competed in the Alpha Energy Solutions 200 at Martinsville Speedway, marking his first Truck Series race since 2013. Driving the No. 71 for Contreras Motorsports, which leased owner points and a truck chassis from JR Motorsports, he led a race-high 109 laps and finished second.[23] In 2017, Elliott joined GMS Racing, driving the No. 23 truck in two races at Atlanta and Martinsville, where he secured a win at Martinsville. Three years later, he returned to the series with GMS Racing in the No. 24 truck. This effort was prompted by Kevin Harvick's bounty challenge, offering a reward to full-time Cup Series drivers who could beat Kyle Busch in a Truck Series race.[24] Originally scheduled for Atlanta, Elliott's attempt was postponed to Charlotte in May due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Elliott ultimately won the race, finishing ahead of Busch and claiming the bounty. The victory came amidst lingering tensions between the two drivers following an earlier incident that season.
In 2021, Elliott returned to the Truck Series, racing for GMS Racing at Texas Motor Speedway. In 2022, he drove the No. 7 truck for Spire Motorsports in the Bristol Dirt event. For the 2023 season opener at Daytona International Speedway on February 17, Elliott took the wheel of the No. 35 Chevy Silverado RST for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing, substituting for Jake Garcia, who was underage to compete.[25] The rain-shortened race ended after 79 of the scheduled 100 laps, with Elliott finishing in 10th place.[26]
Xfinity Series
In January 2014, it was announced that Elliott would compete full-time in the Nationwide Series, driving the No. 9 Chevrolet for JR Motorsports with sponsorship from NAPA Auto Parts.[27] On April 4, 2014, Elliott earned his first series win at the O'Reilly Auto Parts 300 at Texas Motor Speedway, holding off Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch after taking the lead with 16 laps remaining.[28] A week later, on April 11, he secured another victory at the VFW Sport Clips Help a Hero 200 at Darlington Raceway by passing Elliott Sadler on the final lap after restarting sixth with just two laps to go.[29] Elliott continued his success with a win at the EnjoyIllinois.com 300 at Chicagoland Speedway, where he held off Trevor Bayne for the victory.[30] At Phoenix, he clinched the Nationwide Series championship with a 53-point lead over teammate Regan Smith, becoming both the first rookie and the youngest driver to win a NASCAR national series title.[31] To cap off an impressive season, Elliott was also named the Nationwide Series Most Popular Driver.[32]
In 2015, Elliott recorded the first DNF of his career after being involved in the second major crash at Daytona, finishing 28th. On September 11, he snapped a 36-race winless streak by securing his first victory of the season at Richmond. Despite battling Chris Buescher for the championship, Elliott ultimately finished second in the standings. After moving up to the Cup Series in 2016, Elliott continued to compete part-time in the Xfinity Series for JR Motorsports. That year, he drove the No. 88 car in five races, including the season-opening PowerShares QQQ 300 at Daytona, which he won.[33] He also piloted the No. 5 car at Texas.
In 2018, he started the season driving the No. 88 car at Daytona, where his teammate Tyler Reddick secured a photo-finish victory over fellow teammate Elliott Sadler.[34] After Spencer Gallagher's suspension from NASCAR, it was announced that he would drive the No. 23 car for GMS Racing in select events, including races at Charlotte, Pocono, Chicagoland, Daytona, and Bristol.[35]
In 2021, Elliott substituted for Michael Annett at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course.[36] In 2022, he surprisingly failed to qualify for the Darlington spring event after qualifying was canceled due to rain.[37] In 2024, Elliott drove the Hendrick Motorsports No. 17 to victory lane at Charlotte.[38]
Cup Series
On January 29, 2015, Hendrick Motorsports announced that Elliott would make his Sprint Cup Series debut that year, driving the No. 25 car with Kenny Francis as his crew chief. Elliott was scheduled to compete in five races: Martinsville, Richmond, Charlotte, Indianapolis, and Darlington. The team also revealed that Elliott would take over Jeff Gordon's iconic No. 24 car starting in 2016.[32]
Elliott's Cup Series debut in the STP 500 faced uncertainty due to potential rain. Without owner's points or prior race attempts, he would have failed to qualify if qualifying was canceled. However, Elliott secured a spot by recording a lap speed of 96.919 mph (155.976 km/h), placing 27th on the starting grid.[39] During the race, Elliott made contact with Brett Moffitt on lap 75, causing debris to fall from his car and leaving damage hanging from its rear. Additionally, his power steering was compromised. The incident forced him to drop to 37th and enter the garage. Elliott returned to the track on lap 144, 69 laps behind the leader, and ultimately finished 38th, 73 laps down.[40] On May 5, 2015, it was announced that Elliott would compete in the Sprint All-Star Race's Sprint Showdown.[41] He finished 8th and 5th in the event's two segments.[42]
2016: Rookie season
Elliott joined the Sprint Cup Series full-time in 2016, driving the No. 24 car with Alan Gustafson as his crew chief. He replaced the retiring Jeff Gordon, a long-time driver of the No. 24.[32] Elliott's primary sponsors included NAPA Auto Parts,[43] 3M,[44] SunEnergy1,[45] Kelley Blue Book,[46] and Mountain Dew.[47] That year, he won the rookie of the Year award, beating competitors Ryan Blaney, Chris Buescher, Jeffrey Earnhardt, and Brian Scott.[48]
In his Daytona 500 debut, Elliott won the pole position with a speed of 196.314 mph (315.937 km/h), becoming the youngest pole-sitter in the race’s history at just 20 years old.[49] Elliott led three laps before spinning out on lap 18 while exiting turn four, sliding into the grass and damaging the front of his car. After repairs, he returned to the race on lap 59, 40 laps down, and finished 37th.[50] The following week, Elliott earned his first Sprint Cup top-10 finish with an 8th-place result at Atlanta. At Las Vegas, he ran inside the top five with 40 laps to go but ultimately crashed and finished 38th. Despite setbacks, Elliott’s rookie season saw consistent improvement. He secured multiple top-10 finishes during the spring, including 5th at Texas (his first top-five finish), 4th at Bristol, 5th at Talladega, 9th at Kansas, 3rd at Dover, 8th in the Coca-Cola 600, and a career-best 2nd at Michigan.[51] At Pocono, during the Axalta "We Paint Winners" 400, Elliott had a breakout performance. Starting 13th, he led a race-high 51 laps, marking the first time he led the most laps in a Sprint Cup race. Although he lost the lead on a late restart, he managed a solid 4th-place finish. In June at Michigan, Elliott again finished 2nd after missing a shift while leading. Elliott also advanced to the All-Star Race by winning the fan vote[52] and finished 7th, narrowly missing a win in the Sprint Showdown after losing to Kyle Larson in a photo finish. Fifteen races into his rookie season, Elliott was 6th in the standings—highest among drivers without a victory—with two poles (Daytona 500 and Talladega), six top-five finishes, and eleven top-10 finishes. However, he struggled at Sonoma, starting 16th and finishing 21st.
He was one of the first rookies to qualify for the Chase, along with Chris Buescher, since Denny Hamlin in 2006. On September 18, 2016, at the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 400, he came close to securing his first win. However, a late caution erased his 3-second lead over Martin Truex Jr., who went on to win the race while Elliott finished 3rd. Although he was eliminated after the Round of 12, he still managed to finish 10th in the final standings.
2017: Sophomore season
Elliott began the 2017 season by winning the pole for the Daytona 500 for the second consecutive year.[53] He followed it up with a victory in the first Can-Am Duel race, becoming the first driver since Dale Earnhardt in 1996—and only the third in NASCAR history (after Davey Allison in 1990)—to win both the Daytona 500 pole and a qualifying race. Later in the season at Martinsville, Elliott capitalized on a bump from Ricky Stenhouse Jr. that moved Kyle Busch's No. 18 car out of the way, allowing Elliott to claim the Stage 2 win. However, his season had its challenges as well. At Talladega on May 7, Elliott was involved in a massive 16-car pileup that nearly caused his car to flip as it briefly went airborne. In June at Michigan, Elliott finished second for the third consecutive time at the track.
On October 1, 2017, Elliott came close to securing his first career win at Dover. Leading 138 laps and holding a 4-second lead over Kyle Busch with 50 laps to go, Elliott encountered lap traffic and was slowed down behind Ryan Newman, known for being one of the hardest drivers to pass. This allowed Busch to overtake Elliott with just two laps remaining, leaving Elliott to finish second. After the race, Jeff Gordon, Elliott’s mentor and the former driver of the No. 24 car, confronted Newman for impeding Elliott and costing him his first victory.[54] Later that season, during the fall race at Martinsville, Elliott took the lead from Brad Keselowski with four laps to go, only to have his chances of winning dashed when Denny Hamlin hit him from behind, spinning him out with three laps remaining. Frustrated, Elliott retaliated by driving Hamlin into the outside wall during the cool-down lap. Speaking to NBCSN afterward, Elliott said, "My mom always said if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all, He's not even worth my time. … We had a good opportunity. I can't control his decisions and whatever the hell that was. On to Texas." Hamlin later apologized to Elliott via Twitter.[55]
At Phoenix, Elliott faced a must-win scenario to advance to Miami. Despite leading 34 laps, his championship hopes were dashed when Matt Kenseth passed him with 10 laps remaining, leaving Elliott to finish second in the race.[56] Ultimately, he concluded the season ranked 5th in the final standings.[57]
2018: First Cup wins
In 2018, Hendrick Motorsports changed Elliott's car number from No. 24 to No. 9, honoring the number his father, Bill Elliott, drove for most of his racing career. It was also the number Chase used in NASCAR's lower series. Elliott retained his crew, including crew chief Alan Gustafson.[58][59] During qualifying for the Daytona 500, Elliott posted the ninth-fastest time, ending his streak of two consecutive Daytona 500 poles. In the Advance Auto Parts Clash, he led 17 of the 75 laps and ran up front for much of the race but fell back after an incident on the backstretch and was involved in a wreck on the final lap. Despite this, Elliott bounced back to win the second Can-Am Duel, earning a spot in the second row for the Daytona 500. In the Daytona 500, Elliott ran near the front during the first half of the race and even led four laps. However, his day ended early after being caught in an accident on lap 102, resulting in a 33rd-place finish.[60]
In April at Richmond, Elliott secured his best finish of the season so far, placing second in the Toyota Owners 400. This marked the eighth runner-up finish of his career, matching the number of second-place finishes his father had before earning his first win. The following week at Talladega, Elliott started at the rear of the field due to an unapproved tire change but rallied to finish third in the GEICO 500.[61] At Dover, he started sixth and ran well, finishing in the top 10 in both stages before slipping to 12th by the end. He followed this with another 12th-place finish at Kansas and rebounded from a 22nd-place qualifying position to finish 11th in the Coca-Cola 600. Elliott described the Pocono 400 as his team's "best race of the year" up to that point, finishing 10th with top-10 finishes in both stages.[62] At Sonoma, a track he considers "one of [his] worst," he delivered an impressive performance, earning a race-high 49 points with two top-five stage finishes and taking fourth place overall in the Toyota/Save Mart 350.[63][64]
He scored his first pole of the 2018 season at the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona, recording a lap 0.240 seconds faster than the rest of the field during qualifying. However, his race ended prematurely the following day in the "big one" on lap 54, when Ricky Stenhouse Jr. turned Brad Keselowski near the front of the pack, triggering a massive crash involving 25 other drivers and resulting in a 34th-place finish for Elliott.[65] At the Go Bowling at The Glen, Elliott started third, won Stage 2 for the third consecutive week (following Loudon and Pocono), and led the final 33 laps to claim his first career Cup Series victory. The win mirrored his father Bill Elliott's career in several ways: both drivers finished second eight times before earning their first win, and both secured their maiden victories on road courses (Bill’s first win came at the now-defunct Riverside International Raceway). Notably, Bill also served as one of Chase’s spotters during the race.[66] The victory marked Hendrick Motorsports' 250th Cup Series win and made Elliott the youngest driver to win on a road course.[67] In a memorable post-race moment, teammate Jimmie Johnson gave Elliott's car a push after it ran out of fuel while Elliott was being congratulated by fellow drivers.[68][69]
Elliott qualified for the 2018 playoffs and earned his second career victory on October 7 at Dover, holding off Denny Hamlin in overtime. The win secured his spot in the third round. Following a chaotic final lap at Talladega, Elliott claimed another victory later that month at Kansas, fending off a late charge from Kyle Busch. He advanced to the Round of 8 but was eliminated after a late crash involving Denny Hamlin and Kurt Busch at Phoenix. Elliott ultimately finished the season sixth in the points standings.[70]
2019: Continued Cup Series success
.jpg)
Elliott began the 2019 season by qualifying 18th for the Daytona 500. He spent most of the race running mid-pack before being involved in a wreck on lap 200, finishing 17th. The following week at Atlanta, he qualified 22nd and finished 19th, marking his second consecutive finish outside the top 10. At Las Vegas, Elliott secured his first top-10 finish of the season with a ninth-place result. He followed this with a strong performance at Martinsville, finishing second after losing the lead with 126 laps remaining. Elliott earned his first victory of the season at Talladega when a crash under the white flag ended the race under caution. Later in the year, he defeated Martin Truex Jr. at Watkins Glen for the second consecutive season.[71] Elliott advanced through the first round of the playoffs with a fourth-place finish at Las Vegas, a 13th at Richmond, and a dramatic win at the Charlotte Roval. During the Roval race, he locked his brakes and hit the turn 1 tire barrier while leading on lap 65. Despite the setback, he capitalized on cautions and regained the lead on lap 104, securing his third win of the season and the sixth of his career.[72] However, Elliott faced challenges in the later stages of the playoffs. He finished 38th at Dover due to an engine failure on lap seven.[73] He advanced to the Round of 8 after a runner-up finish at Kansas but failed to make the Championship 4 after crashing and finishing 39th at Phoenix.[74][75]
2020: Cup Series Champion
Elliott began the 2020 season with a stage win and a 17th-place finish in the Daytona 500.[76] The following week at Las Vegas, he won the first two stages but suffered a flat tire on lap 220, spinning into the turn one wall and finishing 26th.[77] He bounced back with three consecutive top-ten finishes, including winning the pole and leading a race-high 93 laps at Phoenix, though a late brush with the wall relegated him to a seventh-place finish.[78][79]
Elliott faced a string of late-race misfortunes in the following events. In the Toyota 500 at Darlington, with 28 laps to go, Kyle Busch turned Elliott while he was running second, prompting Elliott to give Busch a one-finger salute as he drove by.[80] In the next Cup Series race, the Coca-Cola 600—one of the few Crown Jewels his father Bill never won—Elliott was leading late when a flat tire on teammate William Byron's car triggered a caution and overtime. Elliott's team opted to pit before the restart, dropping him out of the lead. He finished third but was later promoted to second after teammate Jimmie Johnson was disqualified.[81] Elliott bounced back by winning the Alsco Uniforms 500, passing Kevin Harvick for the lead with 27 laps to go.[82] However, his momentum faltered at Bristol, where he was poised for a second consecutive win until contact with Joey Logano with three laps remaining dropped him to 22nd. The incident led to a post-race discussion between the two drivers.[83]
In July, Elliott won the NASCAR All-Star Race at Bristol, dominating the event by winning two of the first three stages and leading the final segment. This victory made the Elliotts only the second father-son duo to win the All-Star Race, joining Dale Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Notably, both Elliott wins occurred at alternate venues; Bill Elliott's 1986 victory took place at Atlanta instead of the traditional host, Charlotte.[84] A month later, during the inaugural Go Bowling 235 on the Daytona International Speedway road course, Elliott led a race-high 34 laps to secure his second points-paying victory of the season and his third consecutive road course win.[85] This performance elevated him to the highest all-time winning percentage on road courses at 36.36%.
In the first race of the playoffs, the Cook Out Southern 500, Elliott's car featured a throwback paint scheme honoring his teammate, mentor, and friend Jimmie Johnson.[86] Elliott ran near the front for much of the race and was leading with less than 20 laps to go when Martin Truex Jr. attempted a pass after a strong run. The two made contact, sending both cars into the wall and causing significant damage that affected their speed and track position. Despite opting not to pit, Elliott ultimately dropped to a 20th-place finish.[87]
In the Bank of America Roval 400, Elliott had one of the strongest cars of the race. Starting second, he tied teammate William Byron for the most laps led and secured his fourth consecutive road course victory. This win made Elliott both the youngest and oldest driver to claim victory at the Roval.[88][89] Heading into Martinsville's Xfinity 500, Elliott needed a win to advance to the Championship 4. He finished 4th in Stage 1, dominated Stage 2 to take the stage win, and passed Martin Truex Jr. with 43 laps remaining to clinch the victory, securing his spot in the Championship Round at Phoenix.[90]
Elliott started last in the Season Finale 500 after failing pre-race inspection twice but went on to lead a race-high 153 laps, securing both the race victory and the championship. At 24 years old, he became the second-youngest driver to win a Cup Series championship.[91] Together with his father, the Elliotts became the third father-son duo to win Cup Series titles, following the Pettys (Lee and Richard) and the Jarretts (Ned and Dale).[92]
2021: Title defense and feud with Kevin Harvick
The early 2021 NASCAR season was a rollercoaster for Elliott. After finishing second in the Daytona 500, he led much of the following race at the Daytona Road Course. However, a caution for rain prompted a pit stop, and a spin with six laps remaining dropped him to 21st.[93] In May, Elliott secured his first win of the season at the inaugural race at Circuit of the Americas, delayed by rain.[94] This victory marked two milestones: Hendrick Motorsports’ 268th Cup win, tying Petty Enterprises for the most Cup victories by a team in NASCAR history, and Chevrolet’s 800th Cup win as a manufacturer.[95] Elliott finished 13th at the inaugural Ally 400 in Nashville but was disqualified after post-race inspection revealed five loose lug nuts.[96] He rebounded a few weeks later at Road America, claiming another victory by beating Christopher Bell and Kyle Busch.[97] The season also featured heated moments, particularly during the Bristol Night Race, where Elliott clashed with Kevin Harvick.[98] Their feud continued at the Charlotte Roval, where Harvick intentionally wrecked Elliott, only to later crash out of the race himself.[99]
At the Xfinity 500, Elliott swept both stages, earning enough points to secure a spot in the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race.[100] Competing against teammate Kyle Larson and Joe Gibbs Racing drivers Denny Hamlin and Martin Truex Jr., Elliott finished fifth, the lowest among the Championship 4 contenders, and failed to defend his title.[101]
2022: Regular Season Champion
Elliott's 2022 season began with a 10th-place finish in the Daytona 500. However, his second race at California was marked by controversy, as Hendrick Motorsports teammate and eventual race winner Kyle Larson made contact with Elliott in Turn 1, sending him into the wall and resulting in a 26th-place finish.[102] Despite the setback, Elliott rebounded with 10 consecutive top-15 finishes. This stretch included a 4th-place result at Circuit of the Americas, a pole win and 10th-place finish at Martinsville, his first win of the season at Dover, and a 5th-place finish at Darlington. After Darlington, Elliott faced a rough patch. He finished 29th at Kansas after losing a tire late in the race, crashed out during the All-Star Race,[103] and led 86 of the first 188 laps in the Coca-Cola 600 before getting caught in a crash and failing to finish. The struggles continued with a 21st-place finish at Gateway following contact with Ross Chastain.[104]
After an 8th-place rebound at Sonoma, Elliott hit a hot streak with five straight finishes of 1st or 2nd. He earned his second win of the season at Nashville, leading 42 of 300 laps.[105] At Road America, Elliott led 36 of 62 laps but finished 2nd after being passed by Tyler Reddick, who claimed his first Cup Series win.[106] Elliott bounced back with a dominant victory at Atlanta, winning both stages and leading 96 of 260 laps for his 3rd win of the season.[107] This victory made him and his father, Bill, the second father-son duo to win at Atlanta, joining Dale Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt Jr., and the only Georgia-born drivers to do so. At New Hampshire, Elliott finished 2nd after leading late but was overtaken by Christopher Bell with 41 laps remaining.[108] He followed this with a 3rd-place finish at Pocono but was later awarded his 4th win when Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch were disqualified for failing post-race inspections.[109]
Following a 5th-place finish at Richmond and a 4th-place finish at Watkins Glen, Elliott secured the 2022 NASCAR regular-season championship with one race remaining.[110] In the final regular-season race at Daytona, Elliott started on the outside pole and led a race-high 31 of 160 laps. However, he was involved in a major multi-car crash caused by rain and ultimately finished 29th.[111]
At the Southern 500, Elliott finished 36th after a crash caused catastrophic rear suspension damage.[112] However, he bounced back with an 11th-place finish at Kansas and a runner-up result to Chris Buescher at the Bristol Night Race, securing his spot in the Round of 12. On October 2, Elliott claimed his second career victory at Talladega, clinching a spot in the Round of 8. The win marked his series-high fifth victory of the season, tying his career-best performance from his championship-winning 2020 season.[113] Elliott's championship hopes ended at the Phoenix finale, where he finished 28th after being spun into the inside wall by Ross Chastain with 119 laps remaining, ultimately finishing fourth in the points standings.[114]
2023: Leg injury, suspension and missing the playoffs, third winless season
Elliott began the 2023 season with a 38th-place finish at the Daytona 500 but rebounded with a strong second-place finish at Fontana a week later. On March 3, 2023, Xfinity Series driver Josh Berry was announced as the substitute driver for the No. 9 car after Elliott sustained a fractured tibia while snowboarding in Colorado.[115] On March 15, the No. 9 team received an L2 penalty after unapproved hood louvers were discovered during a pre-race inspection at Phoenix. The penalty did not affect Elliott’s driver points due to his injury, as substitute drivers in the No. 9 were ineligible for points.[116] Elliott returned to the No. 9 car at Martinsville, where he finished 10th.[117] Later, at Charlotte, Elliott was involved in an incident with Denny Hamlin, who got loose underneath him and made contact. In retaliation, Elliott intentionally right-rear hooked Hamlin, causing both cars to crash.[118] As a result, NASCAR suspended Elliott for one race. Corey LaJoie was announced as the substitute driver for the No. 9 at Gateway.[119] Despite his efforts, Elliott was unable to secure a victory to compensate for the races he missed, causing him to miss the playoffs for the first time in his Cup Series career.[120]
2024: Bounceback year
Elliott began the 2024 season with a 14th-place finish in the Daytona 500. On April 14, he claimed victory at Texas, ending a 42-race winless streak. This win marked Hooters' first as a sponsor since Alan Kulwicki's championship season in 1992.[121] However, it was Elliott's only win of the season, and he failed to qualify for the Championship 4. On July 1, Hendrick Motorsports announced the end of their partnership with Hooters, as the restaurant chain was unable to fulfill its sponsorship obligations for the No. 9 team.[122] During the playoffs, Elliott was winless, but he scored four top-three finishes; however, a DNF at Las Vegas and not winning in the round resulted in him being eliminated after the Round of 8, finishing seventh in the points standings.
2025
In 2025, Elliott opened the season with a victory at the Cook Out Clash.[123]
Other racing
In 2021, Elliott made his debut in the 24 Hours of Daytona, driving the No. 31 Cadillac for Action Express Racing alongside Mike Conway, Pipo Derani, and Felipe Nasr.[124] Despite starting on the pole, the car faced multiple mechanical issues, leaving Elliott to complete a stint while the team was 22 laps behind the leader. The race ended prematurely for the team with four hours remaining due to a gear failure.[125]
Elliott has competed in the Superstar Racing Experience (SRX) twice. In the 2021 season finale at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway, he started fourth and battled his father, Bill, throughout the second half of the race before passing him to secure the victory. This marked the second time the father-son duo raced against each other, the first being a late model race at South Alabama Speedway in 2013.[126] In the 2022 season finale at Sharon Speedway, Elliott won his second heat race and went on to claim victory in the main event after a duel with Tony Stewart.
