Chase Elliott is entering his sixth full-time season at stock car racing’s top level for Hendrick Motorsports after winning his first-ever NASCAR Cup Series title in 2020. A second-generation NASCAR champion, Elliott’s five victories last season catapulted him to his fifth consecutive playoff berth. In addition, he was voted the NASCAR Cup Series most popular driver for the third consecutive season.
Having enjoyed consistent success with a variety of drivers, from veterans to rookies, 2020 NASCAR Cup Series champion Alan Gustafson is one of the most versatile and accomplished crew chiefs in stock car racing. The 2021 season marks his 17th as a crew chief for Hendrick Motorsports and sixth with driver Chase Elliott, the three-time most popular driver and 2016 rookie of the year.
