Chase Elliott didn’t have the day he wanted in the Daytona 500, but it’s nothing a trip home to Atlanta Motor Speedway can’t make better.

After placing just 15th in the 2025 Daytona 500, Hendrick Motorsports driver Chase Elliott will look to get his first win of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series this Sunday. He is among those scheduled to compete in the 2025 edition of the Ambetter Health 400 at the Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, Georgia.

The first multi-car incident of the day in Sunday's Ambetter Health 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway involved a pair of NASCAR Cup Series champions.

HAMPTON, Ga. — As NASCAR’s most popular driver, Chase Elliott always has a lot of people cheering for him at the track – and that’s especially true at his home track: Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Like President Donald Trump, NASCAR driver Chase Elliott also attended the Super Bowl last weekend ahead of Sunday's Daytona 500.

The drivers used the event to see who had the car to beat in the 500. Elliott’s own father did that in 1987 when “Awesome Bill from Dawsonville” won the Clash, then won the 500 from the pole seven days later for his second victory in “The Great American Race.”

The No. 9 Hendrick Motorsports driver and NASCAR’s reigning Most Popular Driver will be starting the Daytona 500 from the 17th position in row nine. The 2025 Daytona 500 is set for Sunday, February 16 at 1:30 p.m. ET on Fox. The race was originally scheduled for 2:30 p.m. ET but was moved up because of weather.
