2020 NASCAR Cup Series champion Chase Elliott is a household name in the racing community. Son of stock car racing royalty Bill Elliott, Elliott Jr. has followed in his father's footsteps to become the most popular driver on the field, backed up by his raw talent and speed on the racetrack.
Seen driving the #9 NAPA Auto Parts Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 fielded by Rick Hendrick in the highest echelon of the sport, Elliott claimed last season's regular-season championship.
However, the 2023 Cup Series season did not kick off on the right foot for the Dawsonville, Georgia native. Having suffered injuries after a snowboarding accident earlier in the season and a suspension later on, he missed what felt like more than half the regular season.
However, as the drivers edge ever closer toward this year's post-season playoffs, it would be idiotic to count Elliott out of the list. As he begins to find his rhythm this season, the upcoming races, especially two road course events, could bring out the best in him.
Here is a look back at Chase Elliott's five most memorable visits to victory lane in the highest echelon of stock car racing.
