A big wreck at the Ambetter Health 400 collected multiple drivers, with Chase Elliott and Brad Keselowski getting the worst of it after Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
After placing just 15th in the 2025 Daytona 500, Hendrick Motorsports driver Chase Elliott will look to get his first win of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series this Sunday. He is among those scheduled to compete in the 2025 edition of the Ambetter Health 400 at the Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, Georgia.
HAMPTON, Ga. — As NASCAR’s most popular driver, Chase Elliott always has a lot of people cheering for him at the track – and that’s especially true at his home track: Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Like President Donald Trump, NASCAR driver Chase Elliott also attended the Super Bowl last weekend ahead of Sunday's Daytona 500.
The drivers used the event to see who had the car to beat in the 500. Elliott’s own father did that in 1987 when “Awesome Bill from Dawsonville” won the Clash, then won the 500 from the pole seven days later for his second victory in “The Great American Race.”
As for his Daytona 500 resume, Elliott has yet to win the big race but he made history when, at 20 years old, he became the youngest ever to score a pole position in the “ Super Bowl of Stock Car Racing” in 2015. This time around, though, Elliott will be starting 17th in the 67th running of the Daytona 500.
Not a great start to the night for Chase Elliott. Just as engines fired, Elliott complained about a squishy brake pedal and drove to his pit. It appears the NASCAR Most Popular Driver won’t have a great starting spot or pit stall for Sunday’s Daytona 500.
