“I don’t really care about 2023 right now.”  said an agitated Chase Elliott after the final race of 2022, in Phoenix. After having been put out of contention by a Ross Chastain wreck. His annoyance was justified, as after the incident he was unable to make up the gap. But from recent developments, it looks like he might have moved on from that disappointing night.

The Hendrick Motorsports driver was one of the stronger favorites among the four contenders for the title on Sunday in Phoenix. Right until the restart in Lap 200, he had been in the top 10. But from the moment his Chevy and Chastain’s Chevy touched, he was relegated to the back of the pack.

Elliott however has forgotten that missed opportunity and has been planning for the 2023 season. He announced new hospitality packages for fans in collaboration with Ambetter Health and Atlanta Motor Speedway. The Ambetter Health 400, held at the track, is his home race and his first win at the race came in 2022.

Taking that momentum forward, the new hospitality packages offer fans the chance to meet Chase Elliott. The $65 package includes a ticket to the Lower Earnhardt Grandstand, a Q&A session with Elliott, and a $9 donation to the Chase Elliott Foundation, among other goodies.

Close-up interactions and engagements are priceless for fans. This is a great move from Elliott, given his growing fanbase in NASCAR.

Chase Elliott makes another announcement that his fans would love

With the late wreck and spin ending his title hopes, Chase Elliott’s fans would’ve been distraught at not seeing their 26-year-old hotshot being crowned the winner despite having a statistically superior season in comparison to all other drivers.

But they could at least enjoy seeing him race again this year. Elliot had announced that he will be joining Travis Pastrana’s Nitro Rallycross at Wild Horse Pass in Phoenix. The Nitro RX is a short-course rally series, and his appearance in November will be his second in the series.

Elliott’s previous outing here came in 2020 when he managed to finish 8th. His performance was appreciated by many as he managed to beat Tanner Foust, a veteran of the rally series, in a head-to-head match-up before being penalized later on in the race.

Speaking after his debut in 2020, Elliott said “I appreciate Travis and everybody for having me. ASHOC is kind to let me expand my horizons on getting outside of my comfort zone. It’s been a lot of fun and I appreciate their partnership. The learning curve’s been steep. I’ve never driven a car like this before, so that’s a little different.”

Elliott continues to wow viewers with his performances. While the Championship 4 race is a night he’ll want to forget, he has a long off-season to prepare and come back refreshed for a renewed title attempt next season.
