Arguably the surprise of the NASCAR world last season, 19-year-old Chase Elliott seized the points lead after his July 19 win at Chicagoland and never looked back, taming a barrage of unfamiliar tracks to run away with the NASCAR XFINITY Series championship.

Elliott became the youngest title-winner in NASCAR national series history and the first driver to clinch both a Sunoco Rookie of the Year Award and series crown.

Through his efforts, the Dawsonville, GA speedster earned a full-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series spot in Jeff Gordon
