Picture this: a fast & well set-up car roaring its V8 glory, zipping through the
country roads. I’m the sort of person who’ll be instantly drawn to something
like that. While major racing promotions have stepped closer to the EV
revolution, NASCAR still has their V8s singing its tune, which got me into the
world of Stock Car Racing. While I come from a football-loving family, NASCAR
didn't take long to be my new favorite obsession. And my time in
EssentiallySports has made me appreciate the raw and unbridled sport even more!
As I have been following the sport for a while, I really wish to witness Kyle
Busch back in form to make RCR great again. Besides NASCAR, MMA, and Boxing are
a few other interests of mine. To talk more sports, feel free to reach out!

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Chase Elliott?</strong></h2>
William Clyde "Chase" Elliott II, or Chase Elliott, as he is popularly known, is an American racing driver. He won the 2020 <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/nascar-cup-series/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NASCAR Cup Series</a>, becoming the third-youngest racer to do so.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Chase Elliott’s early life</strong></h2>
Born on November 28, 1995, Chase Elliott is a Georgia native and currently resides in Dawsonville. His father is former NASCAR Cup Series driver and 16-time MPD award winner Bill Elliott. His mother, Cindy K Elliott, is truly the backbone of Chase Elliott's racing career. Chase Elliott's parents have been instrumental in helping their son reach where he is today.

Chase Elliott graduated from King's Ridge Christian School in Alpharetta, Georgia, in May 2014. The second-generation NASCAR driver has two siblings, both half-sisters, namely, Brittany Elliott and Monica Elliott. While Junior Elliott has been raising temperatures on a racetrack, both his siblings chose to stay away from motorsports.

[caption id="attachment_1561894" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1561894 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/1636.jpg" alt="Chase Elliott, Cindy Elliott and Bill Elliott" width="1920" height="1080" /> L: Chase Elliott and Cindy Elliott. R: Bill Elliott. Image Credits: Imago.[/caption]
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Chase Elliott's wife and children</strong></h2>
Chase Elliott has never been very open about his private life. Though the driver has been romantically linked to a woman named Ashley Anderson, a University of Georgia graduate, since 2o21, an official confirmation is yet to come. The #9 driver has never been married and does not have any children.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Chase Elliott's net worth 2024</strong></h2>
Given Chase Elliott's dominance on the racetrack and his consistent performances, the driver enjoys quite a lot in monetary income. As per reports, the driver has an estimated net worth of $12 million which is inclusive of his endorsements, accumulated prize money and salary. As per Forbes, Chase Elliott reportedly made $10.2 million in 2020. As for his endorsements, Elliott has an endorsement with NAPA and Chevrolet. Apart from that, he is also associated with soft drink brand Mountain Dew, uniform rental company UniFirst, engineering &amp; technology company Bosch and multinational conglomerate Siemens.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Chase Elliott’s career timeline</strong></h2>
Chase Elliott has been associated with racing since his teenage days. But his golden days arrived in 2010 when, at just 15 years of age, Elliott won 12 events in a single year and featured in the Top 10 a staggering 38 times. He was also named the Georgia Asphalt Pro Late Model Series Rookie of the Year. The very next year, the driver went on to win his first Snowball Derby, thereby becoming the race's youngest winner. And that's not all. At just 18 years of age, in 2013, Chase Elliott became the first-ever driver to win all four of the US's largest short track races, namely, the All-American 400, the Winchester 400, the World Crown 300, and the Snowball Derby.

He also was getting involved in stints in the ARCA circuit around the same time and, in 2013, with his Pocono Raceway win, Elliott became the youngest winner in ARCA superspeedway history.

The driver slowly rose through the ranks to reach his final destination, NASCAR. After a brief stint in the K &amp; N Pro Series, the driver finally made his debut in one of the top 3 factions of the stock car racing organization, the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/nascar-truck-series/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Craftsman Truck Series</a>, in 2013. Driving for Hendrick Motorsports, the driver made his Truck debut at Martinsville Speedway where he finished P6.

The following year, the driver, for the first time in his career, started his <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/nascar-xfinity-series/">Xfinity Series</a> career and made his well-deserved debut at the Daytona International Speedway and finished P15. But his true calling finally arrived in 2015 when he made participated in the NASCAR Cup Series. Barring his first year, the driver has participated in the division full-time since 2016. And boy did he show consistent results. While he finished tenth in standings in 2016, in the following year, he finished 5th. His most notable year came in 2020 when he clinched the Cup Series Championship for the first time in his career.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Chase Elliott’s partnerships and endorsements</strong></h2>
Ever since Chase Elliott entered into the Cup Series, the driver hasn't had to worry about sponsorships and has had big names backing him. The National Automotive Parts Association(NAPA) was one of the very first to lend their support as they signed a three-year deal, to be a primary sponsor, with Elliott ahead of his 2016 full-time Cup debut.<img class="alignnone wp-image-2576662 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/chase-elliott-sceme.jpeg" alt="" width="1220" height="661" />

Later, in 2020, Hooters signed Chase Elliott as its brand ambassador in a multi-year deal for its Hooters Spirits line. The brand Elliott was a two-race primary sp0nsor in 2017 and one race in 2019. Additionally, they also appeared in three more races in 2022, including the World Wide Technology Raceway, and two NASCAR Cup Series playoff races at Bristol Motor Speedway and Las Vegas Motor Speedway. <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nascar-news-lfg-champ-chase-elliott-bedazzles-nascar-fans-as-he-unveils-his-twenty-twenty-four-napa-ride/">The brand is also set to appear in the 2024 season</a> in three races.

Coca-Cola also joined Chase Elliott's team in 2023 as the official beverage partner. The brand appeared as an associate sponsor for the #9 team in select races, starting with the 2023 Daytona 500. Talking about the iconic partnership, Chris Bigda, director of sports marketing of the brand in North America, had said at the time, <em>"Coca-Cola is proud to welcome Chase to its Coca-Cola Racing Family and launch its partnership with Hendrick Motorsports.</em> <em>Continuing to partner with the Elliott family is an honor and thrilling legacy, as Chase joins our Coca-Cola Racing Family 25 years after his father Bill Elliott was a founding member back in 1998. We’re excited for our future together and refreshing this championship team on and off the track."</em>

Apart from that, UniFirst has also been a long-time primary partner of Chase Elliott, dating back to 2019. In 2024, the company will appear in five races, starting with Richmond Raceway. Its other appearances include <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/martinsville-speedway/">Martinsville Speedway</a> (April 7), <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/darlington-raceway/">Darlington Raceway</a> (May 12), Kansas Speedway (Sep. 29), and the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/charlotte-motor-speedway/">Charlotte Motor Speedway</a> aka the Charlotte Roval (Oct 30).
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Chase Elliott's NASCAR career stats</strong></h2>
With an average finish of 13.05, Chase Elliott has 18 victories in his Cup Series career, which includes 152 Top 10s and 12 pole positions. In his Xfinity career, the #9 HMS driver has finished P1 on five occasions besides clinching 67 Top 10s and two pole positions. As for NASCAR's third faction, the Truck Series, the driver has three wins, 15 Top 10s, and three poles.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Chase Elliott’s records</strong></h2>
Chase Elliott has several memorable records to his name. At 22 years, 10 months, and nine days old, the driver became the youngest winner at Dover Motor Speedway in October 2018 after beating seasoned NASCAR veterans like Denny Hamlin (P2), <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/joey-logano/">Joey Logano</a> (P3), <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kurt-busch/">Kurt Busch</a> (P5) and the reigning Dover Motor Speedway winner from earlier that year, Kevin Harvick (P6).

Another record that the driver succeeded in getting was when he won on the 1.5-mile Kansas Speedway track in the Cup Series in 2018, thereby becoming the youngest winner. Apart from that, Chase Elliott is also the youngest winner at the Darlington Raceway in the Xfinity Series.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Chase Elliott’s major achievements and awards </strong></h2>
After just four full-time seasons in NASCAR's top division, Chase Elliott clinched the 2020 Cup Series Championship at 24 years, 11 months and 11 days old. He was the third youngest Cup champion in NASCAR history after beating Brad Keselowski(P2), Joey Logano(P3), and Denny Hamlin(P4) that year.

Even off the racetrack, Chase Elliott has a variety of accolades to showcase. Following in his father Bill Elliott's footsteps, the HMS driver continues to be the reigning Most Popular Driver Award winner with six consecutive wins. In 2016, he took home the Rookie of the Year honor in the Cup Series after securing 10 top-five and 17 top-10 finishes in 36 starts, including a pair of runner-up finishes, both at Michigan International Speedway. He also won two poles that year.

Chase Elliott was also named as one of the 75 Greatest Drivers in 2023 on the stock car racing organization's 75th Anniversary alongside Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kevin-harvick/">Kevin Harvick</a>, among others.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong> Chase Elliott’s playoff heartbreak</strong></h2>
As a Cup Series driver, it is certainly not easy to keep up consistency. However, Chase Elliott seemed to be quite promising on that front with regular playoff appearances since his debut season. However, come 2023, an unfortunate injury took away his playoff chances. The driver was reportedly snowboarding in Colorado when he suffered from a fractured tibia in his left leg. Subsequently, he missed six races and had to be substituted by Josh Berry.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Chase Elliott suspension</strong></h2>
2023 wasn't really Chase Elliott's year. On top of missing multiple races in the Cup Series, the driver also faced a one-race suspension from NASCAR for intentionally wrecking <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/denny-hamlin/">Denny Hamlin</a> during the Coca-Cola 600 in May. The incident occurred at the Charlotte Motor Speedway when the two drivers were driving side by side on Lap 186. After Hamlin squeezed Elliott into the wall, the #9 driver retaliated by hitting the rear of Hamlin's No. 11 Toyota.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Chase Elliott in popular media</strong></h2>
Chase Elliott's rise to popularity has been palpable. After a blistering performance during his rookie season, Chase Elliott was honored as a cover star in his state Georgia's official publication. He graced the August 2016 edition of Georgia Magazine in a story titled, <em>"Like father, like son"</em>. He was also the cover star for Athlon Sports in 2018 as "NASCAR's next superstar" and again in 2020 in the NASCAR season preview edition. He was also featured on the cover of the video game NASCAR Heat 5 in 2020.  The game was available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One devices, and PC via stream.

Chase Elliott was one of the voices in the Cars 3 movie, that was released in 2017. He was one of the four next generation drivers and his character was named Chase Racelott.

<h1 style="text-align: center">Kyle Larson: Net Worth 2024, Relationships, NASCAR and More</h1>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Kyle Larson?</b></h2>
Kyle Miyata Larson is one of the most prolific and successful motorsports drivers in NASCAR today. The Hendrick Motorsports star is a former Cup Series champion and is one of the most consistent drivers in the Cup Series. However, stock car racing is not the only thing Larson is prolific in. He is a master sprint car racer and will be trying his hand at IndyCar in 2024. Larson is also the co-owner of the fast-rising sprint car racing competition, High Limit Racing.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b> Kyle Larson's early life</b></h2>
Kyle Larson was born on June 31, 1992, in Elk Grove, California. The HMS star was educated at Pleasant Grove High School in Elk Grove itself. Racing and school are difficult to balance but Larson had a lot of help from his mother who was a teacher. It's safe to say that the 2021 Cup Series champion was kind of an all-rounder when he was in school.

The HMS driver was born into a family of racers. His father, Mike Larson, was a racer as well. His mother, Janet Larson, is Japanese-American and both of his grandparents spent time in an internment camp during World War II. His middle name is Miyata which is a common surname in several regions in Japan. He has a sister whose name is Andrea.

Early on in his career in motorsports, Kyle Larson was a prolific dirt-track racer with several prestigious wins in the King's Royal, Knoxville Nationals, and the Chili Bowl Nationals. He also won the 2011 4-Crown Nationals at Eldora Speedway. This saw him win three types of USAC races at a go in a single night, becoming only the second driver to achieve so. The following year saw him earn six victories in USAC National Midget races, which included the Turkey Night Grand Prix.

His achievements caught the eye of the teams in NASCAR and Kyle Larson made his full-time debut in the 2013 Nationwide Series with Turner Scott Motorsports. He had run a few races in the Truck Series in 2012 with the same team.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kyle Larson’s wife and children</b></h2>
The Hendrick Motorsports star married Katelyn Sweet on September 26, 2018. The couple has 3 children together, Owen Miyata Larson, Audrey Layne Larson, and Cooper Donald Larson. Cooper is the youngest and was born on the last day of 2022. However, when it comes to Audrey, the family shares some bad news. <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nascar-news-same-quote-kyle-larsons-wife-reveals-daughter-suffers-from-the-same-horrific-disease-as-jada-pinkett-smith/">The parents revealed how their daughter has been impacted by Alopecia</a> since she was 18 months old, in honor of Alopecia Awareness Month. Since then, she has had hair loss, but they delayed going public with the news.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1192530 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Kyle-Larson-wife-Katelyn-Larson-son-Owen-and-daughter-Audrey-NASCAR-trophy-768x512-1.jpg" alt="" width="768" height="512" />
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kyle Lason's net worth 2024 </b></h2>
As of 2023, Kyle Larson has amassed a net worth of $12 million as per Celebrity Net Worth including his race earnings, endorsements, and other ventures. The Hendrick Motorsports star's current contract with the team runs until 2026 and as per reports, he makes an estimated $10 million each year as part of that deal. He also has several sponsorship deals with Target, Chevrolet, Oakley, Credit One Bank, iRacing, and Alpinestars.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kyle Larson’s career timeline</b></h2>
Making his racing debut in outlaw karts at the age of seven, Kyle Larson has always been a talented multitasker trying his hands in various tourneys. Throughout his childho0d and adolescence, the driver started his professional racing career with open wheel-cars in the United States Auto Club (USAC) and the Silver Crown, among others. He also participated in the World of Outlaws and racked up his first win in the division at the Placerville Speedway, as one of the youngest drivers to ever compete. After winning Rookie of the Year in 2011, the racer then divulged his attention toward the NASCAR K &amp; N Pro Series and the ARCA Series.

In 2012, he was signed as a developmental driver for Earnhardt Ganassi Racing. In June of the same year, Larson won his first NASCAR K &amp; N Pro Series East race at Gresham Motorsports Park. He also went on to win the 2012 NASCAR K&amp;N Pro Series East Championship beating the likes of <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/corey-lajoie/">Corey LaJoie</a>. On the other hand, his ARCA career took some time to take off as his first win in the division came two years after his debut, in 2014, at Pocono Raceway.

Larson's NASCAR Truck Series debut came in 2012 and he won his first race the next year, at Rockingham Speedway, driving for Turner Scott Motorsports. And it is around the same time that his Xfinity And <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/nascar-cup-series/">Cup Series</a> career took off as well. Debuting the top faction for <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/chip-ganassi-racing/">Chip Ganassi Racing</a> in 2014, the driver finished 17th in the points standings in his first year. As for his <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/nascar-xfinity-series/">Xfinity</a> Series career debut in 2013, the driver finished 8th in the final standings while driving for Turner Scott Motorsports.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kyle Larson’s partnerships and endorsements</b></h2>
One of Kyle Larson's earliest sponsor after he moved to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/hendrick-motorsports/">Hendrick Motorsports</a> from Chip Ganassi Racing in 2021 was HendrickCars.com. The Hendrick Automotive Group, via the HendrickCars.com brand, became a majority sponsor for the #5 driver for the 2022 and 2023 Cup Series seasons. Backing Larson for some 35 races in his NASCAR schedule, the brand also committed itself to sponsoring the racer in all non-NASCAR events.

As the division's first Japanese-American driver, Larson also paid an ode to his heritage when, in 2023, he landed an official restaurant partner in the form of JINYA Ramen Bar. In this extensive agreement, according to an official press release by Hendrick Motorsports, the brand was set to feature on the driver's post-race hat, firesuit and even his team apparel.

Expressing his excitement, JINYA Founder and CEO Tomo Takahashi said at the time, <em>"Not only is Kyle a NASCAR star because of his supreme talent on the track, but he’s also the sport’s first-ever Asian-American driver, so we are thrilled to partner with him. Kyle has already picked up two wins this season and we can’t wait to see him make many more trips to victory lane while wearing the JINYA logo!"</em>

Additionally, ahead of the 2024 Cup season, automotive services and lubricant brand, Valvoline also announced its bid to back Kyle Larson along with his teammate William Byron. <em>“Valvoline will be the primary sponsor for Kyle Larson in three races (Phoenix, Sonoma and the Chicago Street Race) for the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season,” </em>an official press release said.

In another exciting development, Kyle Larson is also set to drive for McLaren Racing for the 2024 Indianapolis 500 as he attempts the revered 'Double Duty' on May 26. Apart from that, tool manufacturer, Cincinnati Inc also joined hands with him ahead of his HMS debut.

One thing's for sure. The driver sure knows how to attract sponsors!
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kyle Larson's investments</b></h2>
Just like any other multi-talented personality, Kyle Larson has time and again shown how easy it is to dabble in multiple things at once. From competing to owning, the driver knows how to do it all. Merely at the age of 21, in 2013, Kyle Larson started exploring his entrepreneurial side which saw the formation of his sprint car and midget racing team, in association with fellow driver Justin Marks, named Larson Marks Racing. Primarily competing in the World of Outlaws, the team has had its highs and lows. The team had a fairly successful run with driver Shane Stewart who won at the team's second-ever start at the Eldora Speedway. Apart from that, the driver was also the 2015 Kings Royal victor at the Eldora Speedway yet again. Stewart was also won the Winter Heat Sprint Car Showdow during the 2015-16 off-season, besides finish second in the WoO points standings in 2015.

But, things soon went downhill. While Kyle Larson taking over the sole ownership of the team in 2017 and renaming it Kyle Larson Racing seemed promising, the COVID-19 pandemic proved to be an adversity. In October of 2020, it was announced that the team would cease operations after the season was over.

While the closure might be disheartening, it didn't dampen his spirit. Soon after, in 2021, the driver announced the formation of a sprint car series, with his brother-in-law and five-time WoO champion Brad Sweet. The first season in 2023, saw 12 races. Kyle Larson won the inaugural season of the series. As for High Limit Racing's 2024 plans, the series has expanded the schedule to a staggering 60 races. It will also offer $5.8 million in prize money. Now that's what we can call an epic comeback!

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kyle Larson’s NASCAR career stats</b></h2>
For a driver of Kyle Larson's stature, the numbers speak for themselves. The driver boasts an average finish of 14.23 and an average start of 11.9. He has a total of 23 race wins in his Cup series career with 164 top 10s and 16 pole positions. As for the other two NASCAR divisions, the driver has 14 wins, 80 Top 10s, and six poles in his Xfinity Series career, and three wins, 11 Top 10s, and two poles in his Truck Series stint. The driver also boasts a total of 7,556 laps led in his NASCAR.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kyle Larson's  major achievements and awards</b></h2>
Kyle Larson, at his age, has already earned more accolades than several racing veterans and even legends of the sport. The HMS star is the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion, the 2012 NASCAR K&amp;N Pro Series East Champion, the 2010 King of the West Sprint Car Series Champion, the 2018 United Truck Parts International Midget Series Champion, the 2020 Pennsylvania Speedweek Champion, 2015 Rolex 24 at Daytona Overall Winner, 2019, 2021, 2023 NASCAR All-Star Race Winner, 2021 Coca-Cola 600 Winner and countless more.

As for his sprint car racing career, the driver won the inaugural season of his High Limit Racing series, thereby cementing his place as a formidable racer. This year, too, he'll be looking to visit the podium as the series takes a new turn with charter introductions akin to NASCAR and schedule expansion.

The 31-year-old is also set to expand his racing horizon when he makes his IndyCar debut with Arrow McLaren in 2024 in the Indy 500 on May 26. The HMS did race go-karts when he was younger and that knowledge will come in handy. The race will be a part of the revered 'Double Duty' attempt which him see him compete in the Indianapolis 500 and the almost 600 miles way <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/coca-cola-600/">Coca-Cola 600</a> on the same day.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kyle Larson's merchandise</b></h2>
Being as popular as he is, Kyle Larson's merchandise sells out like hotcakes. He has his own merch store online with several products embroidered with the KL logo. Caps, beanies, hoodies, t-shirts, and even gift cards are the products sold by the driver's team on <a href="https://shopkylelarson.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://shopkylelarson.com/</a>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kyle Larson's controversies</b></h2>
He may come across as a civil sportsperson today but Kyle Larson was the center of attention for all the wrong reasons back when he was racing for Chip Ganassi Racing in 2020. The now-Hendrick Motorsports driver uttered a racial slur during a video game stream in April that year. He was swiftly dropped from his team and he lost his sponsors. Before long, NASCAR suspended the driver. Larson was reinstated in October after which he joined HMS.

The 2021 Cup Series champion has had run-ins with the outspoken <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/denny-hamlin/">Denny Hamlin</a>. The two drivers had a moment in the 2023 Cup Series season in Kansas. Hamlin nudged Larson into the wall to take the victory of the race. The two drivers expressed their disappointment with one another and even the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/stewart-haas-racing/https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/joe-gibbs-racing/">Joe Gibbs Racing</a> driver's comments on the Actions Detrimental podcast frustrated his rival.

<em>“I don’t think there’s a reason to be mad at him,”</em> Larson had said on an episode of the High Limit Room podcast. <em>“We were racing aggressively on the last lap for a win, and he was way faster than me. Just the only thing that I guess I get frustrated with is on his deal, his podcast, he says, ‘I race a certain way, but I’ve never had to reach out to him to apologize about anything.'"</em>
