Chase Elliott Plans to Race Often In 2010
More Than 40 Races at 17 Tracks Are On His Schedule
Team PR Report
After being named by SceneDaily.com as one of ten drivers of the next decade in NASCAR, 14-year-old Chase Elliott is ready to prove he’s worthy of the designation as he kicks off the 2010 season. The second-generation driver out of Dawsonville, Ga., has announced his sophomore season schedule, which includes over 40 combined Pro and Super Late Model races at 17 different tracks across the Midwest and Southeast.
The 2009 Georgia Asphalt Series (GAS) Champion will make runs for the Blizzard Series and Miller Lite Series titles at sister tracks Five Flags Speedway (Pensacola, Fla.) and Mobile (Ala.) International Speedway, which will also put him in the running for the Gulf Coast Championship that combines both series into one title.
Coming off four wins in 2009 in three series – GAS, ASA Southeast Asphalt Tour and Pro All Stars Series (PASS) – Elliott’s 2010 schedule includes runs in six different series. With several starts in the PASS South and the Champion Racing Association (CRA) Super Series Late Model touring series, Elliott will also make a handful of starts in the Pro Late Model ASA Late Model Series Challenge division and the Show Me the Money series at Montgomery (Ala.) Motor Speedway. At the age of 14, Elliott was granted a waiver to compete in the ASA Late Model Series which is typically open to drivers 16 years and older.
Elliott also has several “big name” races scheduled throughout the year, including his season-opener, the CRA-sanctioned SpeedFest at Lanier National Speedway (Braselton, Ga.), January 31. Also on the list are The Rattler 250 at South Alabama Speedway (Opp); Rowdy’s Revenge 251 at Berlin Speedway (Marne, Mich.); the World Crown 300 at Gresham Motorsports Park (Jefferson, Ga.); and the Snowball Derby at Five Flags Speedway.
“I am really looking forward to 2010,” said Elliott. “We learned a lot last year and still have a ton to go, but I think that if we can put what we learned into this year as well I believe that would make us more competitive at the bigger races.”
While Elliott will continue his partnership with Aaron’s Sales & Lease Ownership in 2010, there are still primary and associate sponsorship opportunities available on the Bill Elliott Racing No. 9 Ford for both Super and Pro Late Model events.
