When Chase Elliott slides behind the wheel for his first NASCAR Nationwide Series test this weekend, he knows his legendary father will be right there behind him – perhaps even literally, since they’ll both be on the race track. Chase Elliott will be one of three JRM drivers at the test, joining teammate #7-Regan Smith and his dad Bill, who will shake down a car for Dale Earnhardt Jr. Earnhardt Jr. will take part in the Sprint Cup portion of Preseason Thunder slated for Thursday and Friday, but schedule conflicts will prevent the 11-time winner of NASCAR’s Most Popular Driver Award from taking part in the Nationwide test.(NASCAR.com)(1-7-2014)
