Chase Elliott's First Career Cup Win (2018 Watkins Glen)

[@austinjacob6007]

Jimmie was inspired by McQueen’s heartwarming moment when he gave up the Piston Cup to Chick Hicks by helping The King finish his final race.

[@Каналзакрыт-я8е]

4:05 - That's the moment, as if McQueen was pushing King to the finish line...

[@Ob1tuber]

Nah he’s just giving a bump draft

[@rebeccaturner1123]

I think the King should finish his last race…

[@OwnedByBaba]

What In Carnation? I think only 5 or 4 cars that are in the chase got a win from Raw speed

[@OwnedByBaba]

Menard Bros Vids The point is he made the best push while he was still saving

[@OwnedByBaba]

If chase saved a little more we would have seen a burn out of a life time

[@Twinspinner]

Menard Bros Vids he had the lead on Truex to hold him off regardless. If he didn't put up as much of a fight, Truex would've made it the last 1/4 mile anyway.

[@Imauseriguess]

That's a cars moment right there. Abouta make me shed a tear.

[@rashimirfieros43]

3:14 gives me chills. All the drivers coming up to congratulate NASCAR’s newest rising star. 4:31 also gives me chills. Almost like a passing of the torch. A legend pushing the future of Hendrick Motorsports

[@duffman18]

Honestly it seems like MOST 2nd/3rd/4th generation drivers never do well as the first one in their family. But very rarely you get ones that not only do as well, they actually overtake their dad's achievements very quickly. People like Dale Earnhardt Sr, he's one of those rare examples that completely eclipsed and blew away his dad's achievements. Most 2nd gen drivers end up doing what Dale Jr or Kyle Petty did, very respectable careers, a very decent number of race wins, and were clearly great drivers, but it just pales in comparison to what their dad's did But yeah sometimes you get those rare cases. We're seeing it in F1 right now now with Max Verstappen already far outstripping his dad's achievements in motorsports. And we're seeing it here, as good as Bill was, Chase looks like he could be the next 7 time champion. Which is something bill was never really close to, especially after they mandated restrictor plates so he lost all his speed and couldn't draft as well as others. He's an all time legend but his son has already overtaken him in achievements, and I honestly can't imagine Bill could be any happier about that, he wants his son to win much more than he ever wanted himself to win, that much is clear. Chase is looking like by far the best driver this year (2022). The fact this season has the most first time race winners in history since the 2nd season of nascar (which makes sense cos OBVIOUSLY the second season will produce new race winners, it's only the 2nd season, but this year we've already got more new race winners than ever and the season is only halfway gone. And yet despite all that, Chase sits at the top with far more wins this year than anyone else. He's driving phenomenally well It doesn't hurt that there's now far more road courses than ever before, which Chase is an expert in I hope he goes on to win the title this season. He's in such good form, it's annoying that the points will be reset for the playoffs. I hate that nascar does that. The whole season should matter, not just the end of it I mean they're basically saying that the Daytona 500 is irrelevant and not important, by having the playoffs system. Because daytona always comes first in the year long before anything that they deem "important" happens. But hey if anyone can keep that form going it's chase, and it should serve him well in the playoffs. Got a good car, got a good head on his shoulders, already knows what it takes to win a championship, so I'd wish him good luck but I don't think he needs it

[@rbear1231]

finally, an Elliot is in victory lane again, I cheered bill I cheer chase. sweet thanks Jimmie that was classy

[@santinopucheta1111]

[@nascarandrc8296]

I never cheered for Bill I was too busy cheering for an even cooler and better racer Dale Earnhardt

[@adamcouch6610]

i’ve really never liked Jimmie Johnson, but damn you would’ve swore i loved him if you saw my reaction to him pushing Chase back. iconic

[@zottffss]

Iconic indeed. Passing the torch to a rising star.

[@duffman18]

He's a true champion. Compare this, Chase's first win, to the race a couple years before where he very very nearly got his first cup race win but was dumped in the last lap by known cunt Denny Hamlin (who then got dumped himself in retaliation cos everyone wanted to see Chase get his first win, so at least Denny didn't gain anything out of it) That's probably why Jimmie Johnson is the 7 time champ and Denny Hamlin has never managed to win a single one

[@Facekick48]

For no reason other than I liked how his cars looked (the blue and the black ones idk if there's more) Jimmie Johnson was always my favorite, his number is why I chose 48 for my username

[@diggerfan9319]

This has been such an emotional day for Chase Elliott. Best race of the year.

[@CoolNala]

All I can see is... Finally... This one is long overdue. He finally proved why he was the right choice to take over Jeff's ride two seasons ago, and he outdueled the defending champion. This kid has more coming. Believe me. Congrats Chase.

It's like the nail-biting intensity of a hockey radio host, genuine excitement with every breath, mixed with your old school southern dirt track racing announcer. Absolutely classic. It could be the middle of the race... Which is normally like watching paint dry and Dale is yapping at the top of his lungs like the season hangs in the balance. Where have you been all my life.
