Full name: William Clyde Elliott II.
Nickname: Chase. That was a nickname given to me when I was born.
Years racing: Eight years.
Best racing memory so far: Winning the Snowball Derby in December 2011.
Favorite track: I’d say Dover (Del.) International Speedway. It just has a lot of character to it, and there’s no track I’ve seen that compares to it.
Hobbies outside of racing: I’ve always been a fan of riding dirt bikes and stuff like that. I also enjoy snowboarding.
Favorite sport other than racing: I’d have to say college football, specifically Georgia.
When I'm not at the track, you can find me: At the shop more than likely.
On an off weekend, you can find me: I guess it depends what time of year it is. In the summer, I’m riding dirt bikes somewhere. In the winter, I’m hanging out at the house.

Favorite movie: “Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows”

Favorite music: I’m pretty easy. I guess country would be my favorite.
Favorite artist: Jake Owen
Favorite websites: iRacing.com is always a good one. That, and Twitter (@ChaseElliott).
Favorite restaurant: Olive Garden. Pretty much anything there I’d be happy with for the most part, but I’d say chicken parmesan would have to rate at the top.
Current car: 2008 black Chevrolet Silverado.
Dream car: Honestly, I’d love a ride in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
What you’ll find on my iPod: Anything and everything.
Favorite phone app: Probably have to be Twitter.

One thing people don’t know about me: I do a lot of iRacing.
If you could trade places with anyone in the world for one day, who would it be? God. That’d be pretty cool.
