Chase Elliott Added To SRX Series For Nashville Fairgrounds Race

/in /by

2020 NASCAR Cup Series Champion Chase Elliott will join the Camping World SRX Series when it comes to the Nashville Fairgrounds on July 17. Elliott will be racing side by side with his father Bill Elliott.

Both Elliott’s have raced in Nashville before as Chase raced at the half-mile speedway countless times in a Super Late Model, winning the prestigious All American 400 in 2013. Bill competed in seven Cup Series races at the track with a best finish of fifth in the 1983 Marty Robbins 420.

“Racing is such a big part of our lives and I’m genuinely excited to compete with my dad in the SRX race at Nashville,” says Chase. “We’ve been together at racetracks hundreds of times and only once before have we competed on the same track together. It’s an awesome opportunity and I’m really looking forward to it.”

“My experience at Nashville is pretty dusty, so I might have to lean on Chase to give me some pointers from his time there in a Late Model,” Bill shares. “It could be a bit of a role reversal with him teaching me. But it truly is a wonderful opportunity to be able to race with my son at Nashville. Obviously, I’m incredibly proud of all that he’s accomplished. For years, he watched me and now I’m watching him. But for one night in Nashville, we’ll both have the same viewpoint.”

With Chase winning in 2020 and Bill Elliott winning the NASCAR championship in 1988, they are only the third father-son duo to win NASCAR championships.

Alongside both Elliott’s, the long list of legendary drivers who will be in attendance at the Nashville race include Michael Waltrip, Bobby Labonte, 2021 Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves, and SRX Series co-founder Tony Stewart.

Tickets to watch both Elliott’s along with the rest of the field in the Camping World SRX Series on Saturday, July 17 at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway are available here.
