William Clyde "Chase" Elliott II (born November 28, 1995) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He competes full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series, driving the No. 9 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 for Hendrick Motorsports and part-time in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, driving the No. 88 Chevrolet Camaro SS for JR Motorsports.

Chase is the son of 1988 Winston Cup Series champion and 2015 NASCAR Hall of Fame inductee Bill Elliott. The Elliotts are one of many father-son duos in NASCAR history, joining Lee and Richard Petty, Buck and Buddy Baker, Ned and Dale Jarrett, Bobby and Davey Allison, as well as Dale Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt Jr. (all NASCAR Hall of Fame Inductees). Before Chase's stock car racing career, Elliott had an extremely highly successful career in late model racing, with wins in several prestigious events, including completing the "unofficial grand slam of super late model racing", with wins in the Snowball Derby in 2011 & 2015 (including three prelude wins in the Snowflake 100 in 2010, 2012, & 2013), the Winchester 400 in 2010, the World Crown 300 in 2012, and the All American 400 in 2013.

Elliott began his NASCAR career by winning the 2014 NASCAR Nationwide Series Rookie of the Year and the 2014 NASCAR Nationwide Series championship, becoming the first rookie and the youngest driver to win a national series championship in NASCAR history. Elliott began racing full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series in 2016, taking over the iconic No. 24 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports, previously driven by Jeff Gordon. That same year, he earned the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Rookie of the Year award.

In 2018, he began driving the No. 9 (in honor of his father) NAPA Auto Parts sponsored Chevrolet, and won his first career Cup Series race at the road course of Watkins Glen. In 2020, Elliott won the NASCAR Cup Series championship, marking Hendrick Motorsports' thirteenth overall Cup Series Championship, their first title since 2016, and Chase joining his father Bill Elliott as the third father-son duo in NASCAR history to win NASCAR Cup Series Championships (joining Lee & Richard Petty, and Ned & Dale Jarrett). Elliott has won exhibition races in the 2020 NASCAR All-Star Race at Bristol, and the 2025 Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium, while currently amassing an additional 21 career Cup Series victories, including seven on road courses. He is currently NASCAR's reigning 8x Most Popular Driver Award winner, and in 2023 was named as one of NASCAR's 75 Greatest Drivers.
