In the upcoming NASCAR Atlanta Motor Speedway Quaker State 400, racing enthusiasts are eagerly watching Elliott, famed for choosing to embrace his family tradition and exceptional racing skills. Looking into the emotionally resonant story of this prodigious figure who is loved in the world of NASCAR.

Recently, the son of Hall of Fame champion and now NASCAR driver, Chase Elliott, revealed his emotional sentiment regarding racing in Georgia. In the post, he spoke about carrying a rich family history in racing, during which he evoked stories of his father’s remarkable 1985 season. It was the year of the Winston million and an 11-win streak, but the Atlanta victory holds the most precious memory for the Elliotts.

Georgia Roots: A Deep Connection to Home

Being from Dawsonville, Georgia, the family has deep ties with the area. Every time they race, especially at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, they feel the whole of Georgia, their home, rallying behind them. Chase Elliott is excited to be back home and is looking forward to a big night. “You know that this is obviously home for me,” he said. “A lot of great fans. You made a lot of noise today. Excited to get home it’s gonna be a big one tonight, looking forward to it.”

Chase Elliott races not only for victory but also for noble causes. In one of the NASCAR Cup Series races, he drove with a paint scheme designed by two children fighting cancer. With 18 career Cup Series wins until 2023, he further said, “I’ve traveled to many places across this country. But Georgia will always be my home. That is a decision by choice and by blood… I was raised on the notion of real racing real fast. I’m part of a new generation in NASCAR. But I have always run a few laps of history on my shoulder as the son of a Hall of Fame champion from Georgia,” That is a decision by choice and by blood is the 8-word revelation dropped by Chase.
