This week, Mountain Dew, one of the companies Joel partners with, posted a Tweet congratulating him and said that they hope that Joel’s new car will be green just like the company’s colors.
Additionally, they offered him an intriguing proposition. They wrote, “Congrats! Hope that first car is green…maybe @ChaseElliott can take you out on the track for a few spins.”

Elliott drives the Number 9 Chevrolet Camaro for Hendrick Motorsports in the NASCAR Cup Series. And Mountain Dew is a long time sponsor of Chase. He even drove a special Mountain Dew paint scheme car at Daytona.
Chase responded positively to the company’s tweet. He posted a tweet offering Joel a few laps around the race track soon. He wrote, “Congrats @joelembiid! Let’s get you down to the track and I’ll show you the ropes”
