There’s something about details and the little things that is just so fascinating. The more you look into something, the more you discover about it. Perhaps that was also the case when one NASCAR fan looked too hard into the name of Chase Elliott.
Ahead of the Cup Series race at Watkins Glen, Hendrick Motorsports posted a promotional photo of all their four drivers along with their names in text. However, there was one thing about the name, or at least, the way it was written, about NASCAR’s most popular driver.
That thing was the fact that Chase Elliott’s name is a trademark.

Naturally, as you’d expect, this sent the other NASCAR fans down a merry-go-round ride as they reacted about this peculiar little observation with the name of the 2020 Cup Series champion.
So if someone with the real name of Chase Elliott decided to race in Nascar is he not allowed to use his own name because someone who didn't want to use his real name chose it?
