Elliott’s son hitches a ride: Chase Elliott might already be a racer in his own right, but he had never been around Atlanta Motor Speedways high banks in a full-size race car “¦ until Saturday. After filming a TV segment to promote Atlantas Labor Day night racing event, Bill Elliott had the opportunity to take son Chase, 13, on a ride around the 1.54-mile quad-oval. The younger Elliott tried to play it cool as he exited the car, but his beaming grin “ and his mother “ belied his casual manner.”He was trying to play it cool, but he was so excited,” Cindy Elliott said. And being an Elliott, it should come as no surprise that Elliotts first remarks about the ride centered on the driving line.”You get back on the gas so fast,” Chase Elliott said.”Its so big, and the corners are so sweeping.”(AMS Pit Notes)(3-8-2009)
