Chase Elliott won the 2014 NASCAR Nationwide Series championship in only his rookie season in the series.
But, now, the XFINITY Series, Elliott learns that he will be running a part-time schedule in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in the No. 25 Chevrolet, sponsored by his XFINITY Series sponsor, NAPA Auto Parts.
But, this is all a warm-up for 2016, when he will replace Jeff Gordon in the No.b24 car for Hendrick Motorsports when he retires at the end of the 2015 season.
Rick Hendrick gave Gordon the chance to retire the No. 24, but Gordon said no.
Gordon will be joining FOX as they cover NASCAR XFINITY Series races in 2016, but they will start covering those races this season.
Gordon also had some comical moments in yesterday's Hendrick Motorsports media day.
Here are his XFINITY Series broadcasting rules:
1.) Every time Gordon says "Nationwide Series" he must put $10 in a jar.
2.) Never use Jeff Hammond's hair spray.
3.) Bring a box in the broadcast booth to stand on because Michael Waltrip is VERY tall.
As for Elliott, we wish him luck in the NASCAR XFINITY and Sprint Cup Series.
