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”
