    NASCAR Hall of Famer Bill Elliott will return for the Road America Xfinity on Aug. 25

    Chase Elliot has won his first Cup Series race yesterday at Watkins Glen, driving the #9 car.
    William Clyde II (nicknamed "Chase"), was the 2014 NASCAR Nationwide Series champion.

    That number 9 which Chase now has, had once belonged to his Dad (Bill Elliott) from back in the day.
    NASCAR Hall of Famer Bill Elliott will return to the driver's seat in the Xfinity Series race at Road America on Aug. 25

    Bill Elliott got his first win n 1983 in the last race of the season, the Winston Western 500 at Riverside.
    In 1985 Bill had his best year in Nascar with 11 wins and 11 poles out of 28 races and also won the first Winston Million in the Southern 500 at Darlington. This would give him the nickname "Million Dollar Bill" and "Awesome Bill From Dawsonville".

    Bill Elliott would set an unprecedented NASCAR record of winning five consecutive pole qualifying sessions in 1985; the June Pocono race, the Firecracker 400, the July races in Pocono and Talladega, and the August Michigan race.

    Elliott also set a NASCAR modern era record in 1985 for completing the season sweep at 4 different tracks in one season: Pocono, Michigan, Darlington, and Atlanta.

    Bill won the 1988 Winston Cup Championship and garnered 44 career wins in that series, including two Daytona 500 victories in 1985 and 1987 and a record four consecutive wins at Michigan International Speedway between 1985 and 1986. He holds the track record for fastest qualifying speed at Talladega at 212.809 miles per hour and Daytona International Speedway at 210.364 miles per hour, both of which were set in 1987.
    The mark at Talladega is the fastest qualifying speed for any NASCAR race ever.

    Chase Elliot's first Nationwide win came in his Rookie year 2014 at Texas and his first time on that track.... and then one week later he did it again at Darlington and that was also his first time on that track, which was one of his Dad's favorite tracks.
    Chase won at Darlington, beating the likes of Kyle Busch, Joey Lagono, Matt Kenseth, Kevin Harvick, Elliot Sadler and Kyle Larson.

    Chase went on to win the 2014 NASCAR Nationwide Series championship, becoming the first rookie to win a national series championship in NASCAR.
    He was the 2016 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Rookie of the Year.

    This kid will be one of the best in years to come !!

    Justin Allgaier wins and makes that 4 wins for him this season, with 2 wins at road tracks and a third place at road track as well.
    He was doing some drifting thru the carasel corners on his burnout lap, pretty cool

    Bill Elliott finishes in 21st place.
    There were no Cup divers in this road race today.
