The Chase Elliott Foundation launched this initiative back in 2017. Over the past seven years, it has successfully raised $400,000 for charitable causes.
Elliott revealed the paint scheme of his #9 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet on Instagram. Designed by Gavyn Giansiracusa, the paint job features a unique crayon-styled design exclusively highlighting Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
"#Desi9ntoDrive returns to Atlanta Motor Speedway on Sept. 8 featuring a celebration theme on my No. 9 NAPA Chevrolet and race uniform," Elliott wrote on Instagram, revealing the paint scheme of his #9 car.
"Help me raise funding to benefit Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. We are giving away all the pieces of my race uniform and a chance to meet me at a race. Go to desi9ntodrive.org to learn more and enter sweepstakes," he added.
Elliott's race suit will also showcase designs by two inspiring cancer patients: 11-year-old Gavyn Giansiracusa and 13-year-old Logan Lee. Fans can support the cause by donating to the online fundraiser for a chance to win a meet-and-greet with Elliott.
"Just win, being in contention to win" - Chase Elliott on his playoff aspirations
With just three races left, the NASCAR playoffs are just around the corner. Chase Elliott is already gearing up, determined to enter the postseason with a victory. The Hendrick Motorsports driver is focused on ending the regular season on a high note.
"Just win, being in contention to win," Elliot said in an interview with Bob Pockrass. "Winning would be great, but if you can't win, being in contention to win is a very close second to just overall performance and where I feel like we need to be and should be and can be."
Chase Elliott is currently in third place in the NASCAR regular season standings. With 773 points under his belt, the driver in number nine is only one point behind Tyler Reddick in second place and six behind leader Kyle Larson. Across 23 races in 2024, Elliott managed one win, seven top-5 finishes, and twelve top-10 finishes.
