Darlington, SC (WLTX) --- He's just 18 years old but Chase Elliott's win last week at Texas was perhaps his official notice to NASCAR that he is ready to make some noise early and often.
The son of 1988 Sprint Cup series champion Bill Eillott will start second for the Nationwide series event at Darlington Friday night as the momentum of his first NASCAR win clearly has been brought to the Pee Dee.
Chase's first laps around the Track Too Tough To Tame were Thursday afternoon, but considering his dad is no stranger to Victory Lane at Darlington, it's a safe bet Chase was plenty prepared for this next test of his rookie year in NASCAR.
