Chase Elliott Wins At Texas, Dawsonville Celebrates...

((HT: NASCAR on ESPN))

Chase Elliott has the pedigree with his father- one of the most popular drivers in the circuit in "Wild Bill from Dawsonville"- and he passed Kevin Harvick with a handful of laps to go (15) for the win in only his 6th start in the Nationwide Series.

And that makes him the second-youngest winner in the history of the series...
Here's the end of the race...


Not bad for the senior from King's Ridge Christian School...

He becomes the youngest winner at Texas Motor Speedway and adds to his resume from the truck series win he had last season in Canada. The race had 15 lead changes and puts Chase at the top of the points standings.

The series heads to Darlington next weekend...

And it meant that the Dawsonville Pool Room got to fire up the siren in the town square...

Kurt And Cole Finish Fourth At Daytona

As a follow-up to our story from earlier this week, Kurt Busch got the okay from Nationwide car owner James Finch and Rick Hendrick to revisit one of the best paint schemes in NASCAR history- the City Chevrolet car driven by Cole Trickle in the "Days of Thunder"- for the Nationwide race last night...

Here's some of the highlights...

We're glad to see that everyone had a sense of humor about bringing attention to a serious cause...

Now if only Busch could have put Russ Wheeler in the wall for the win...

Kurt Busch certainly does...
This weekend, the City Chevrolet will be working for the Hendrick teams pit...

And Busch, Hendrick, and crew chief Nick Harrison recited a scene or two for the AFFDC...


Busch is raising awareness for the Armed Forces Foundation "Help Save Our Troops" campaign this weekend.

And the HQ hopes he wins...
