Chase Elliott, the diehard Georgia football fan from Dawsonville, Georgia completed his first ever Rolex 24 race on Sunday.
The 25 year-old competed in the endurance-racing event at Daytona International Speedway alongside some of the racing world’s best.
Unfortunately, Elliott’s team’s chances at glory ended early on Sunday, thanks to a mechanical problem with the Cadillac #31 car.
