May 22nd, 2024: Chase Elliott Changes First Name Back to Clyde



In response to his slow start to the 2024 Nascar Cup season, Chase Elliott has informed the media that as of this weekend’s Coke Molecular 600, he would like to be referred to by his given name, Clyde Elliott.

“Its time for a change”, Elliott told the assembled media at Charlotte Motor Speedway.  “All my life I’ve been going by another name that’s not really my own.  Well, that changes today—call me Clyde.”

Since narrowly missing out of the 2023 Nascar Cup Championship to teammate Kyle Larson, Elliott has had a dreadful start to the year.  While sponsors Napa and HootersBlockchain have pledged their support, Elliott has taken responsibility for a turnaround on himself.

“With my new—or should I say, REAL—name, there’s no more excuses”, Elliott said.  “As far as I’m concerned, the 2024 season starts now for Clyde Elliott and everyone on this team—the buck stops here, and the winning starts now.”

Hendrick Motorsports CEO Jeff Gordon pledged his support to Elliott as the season goes forward.

“Everyone at HMS is behind Clyde 100%”, Gordon said.  “The only downside is that Geoff(rey) Bodine is taking credit for doing this first.”
