Chase Elliott showed up for Super Bowl LIX in his $1.8 million, custom-painted 2006 Cessna Citation 525B. The news of his arrival was announced by radaratlas2 on X, (formerly known as Twitter.)
Elliott’s private jet wasn’t the only one that brought a motorsports icon to Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. IndyCar driver Marco Andretti’s aircraft flew in on the same day as well. Even American rapper and songwriter Jay-Z was in attendance.

Notably, 2025 marks the 67th running of the iconic 500-miler. It also marks Elliot’s tenth season in the Cup Series, and his tenth attempt at the “Great American Race.”
