Since he will be replacing Jeff Gordon in the No. 24 car at the start of the 2016 season when Gordon retires, Chase Elliott will be running a few races this season in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
His first race is at Martinsville Speedway on March 29th, 2015.

But Elliott has never made a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series start in his career. But here's why I think he will do well.~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~
1.) Elliott has plenty of talent. Elliott won the NASCAR XFINITY Series championship in 2014 in his ROOKIE year in the series! I predict that Elliott qualifies in the Top-20, and finishes within the Top-15, which is not to bad for your debut in NASCAR's premier series (Sprint Cup).
2.) Elliott has a great mentor. Elliott is learning from two of NASCAR's most popular drivers, Bill Elliott (his father), and Dale Earnhardt JR., who is the owner of the NASCAR XFINITY Series team JR. Motorsports, which is Elliott's XFINITY Series team.
3.) Elliott must be ready for the Sprint Cup. We all know that rick Hendrick would want a driver that he knows can win behind the wheel of a Chevy, so he must have picked Elliott because he KNEW that Elliott could win. I personally believe that Elliott is the wisest choice to drive the No. 24 car starting in 2016.
