The 24-year-old just won his first championship
At only 24 years old, Chase Elliott is a NASCAR Cup Series champion.

If your a fan of Elliott, then you’ll love the cool video he shared Wednesday morning to celebrate his championship.

So, is this the first of many titles for Elliott, or will he be one-and-done? We’ll find out in the years ahead.
