Who says athletes can be only into one sport? While most athletes practice just one, that does not stop them from taking interest in other events. From NBA to golf and even college football, NASCAR drivers like to delve into all forms of physical excellence. Sure, there are some exceptions from time to time, but Chase Elliott is not one of them.

Chase Elliott happens to be big on college football and that came to him from his father, Bill. The father-son duo supports the Georgia Bulldogs. Being a Georgia native, the fandom for the Bulldogs comes from his childhood, and that is not something he will forget soon. So when Chase Elliott expressed that he is a Bulldogs fan on ‘The Teardown’, former NFL star Pat McAfee commented.

How Chase Elliott made it into Pat McAfee’s radar

It all started on Dirty Media Mo’s The Teardown podcast, where Chase Elliott was called to discuss NASCAR with other American sports. One thing led to another, and the host, Jordan Bianchi, sparked a conversation about college football, which happens to be his favorite sport. It all started when Bianchi stated, “Bulldogs looked good last week.”

A happy-looking Elliott agreed that his favorite team was in a good place. He explained, “I’ve been a fan for as long as I can remember. I grew up going to games and stuff. I love watching them.” Elliott continued to speak about the team, saying, “For sure, they were always really solid. They’ve never been a bad program or ‘progrum’ as McAfee says.”

Elliott then explained that he likes the team because they do not replace coaches every time they have a terrible year. While this conversation continued and moved away from college football, NFL star Pat McAfee noticed Elliott referencing his pronunciation of the word “program.”

This led Pat McAfee to post on X, stating, “Chase Elliott knows ball.” Chase Elliott soon saw McAfee’s post. He responded by continuing the thread, saying, “#GoDawgs Let me know when you want to talk ball.”

Now Pat McAfee has retired from the NFL and is a full-time journalist. He keeps up with more than just football. He is also good friends with Tony Stewart, who appeared on the Pat McAfee Show several times, over the years.

Looking at Elliott’s response, fans flooded the comments section with excitement to see the Hendrick Motorsport driver get featured on the Pat McAfee show. The excitement started to reach fever pitch, so let’s explore at what that was all about.

Fans want to see Chase Elliott talk ball with Pat McAfee

The fan’s sentiments couldn’t be more clear than this comment from a fan. “Chase and Pat? I’m down,” said one fan, who is happy to see a possible episode where the two discuss college football.

Chase Elliott has a great following on social media. When a fan saw his post after a while, they couldn’t help but comment, “Welcome back to social media, champ!” The fan was excited because Elliott’s post was about wanting to sit down with the NFL legend to talk football.

An exaggeration for sure, but this was only to show how excited the idea of having Elliott talk about football makes this fan joyful. The fan made a witty claim saying, “Chase in the Thunderdome would cure world hunger.”

Everyone is onboard on the train, which leads to an interview between Pat McAfee and Chase Elliott. The comment stated, “Yeah, we need to see this,” and hundreds, if not thousands, of other fans will agree to his.

Let’s make it clear that Chase Elliott is not a stranger to the Pat McAfee show. He has made an appearance before, and how well the interview went can be noticed in the comment by this fan saying, “Get him back on your show, @PatMcAfeeShow.”
