25 NASCAR drivers to consider as getaway drivers for that one last heist

Chase Elliott

Chase Elliott lacks experience, being in only his second Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season, but that doesn’t mean he’s not worthy of consideration as a getaway driver.

For a relatively fresh face in the Cup Series, he’s impressed throughout his short career to date including two consecutive poles at the Daytona 500. He also has nine top-10 results in the 17 races that have taken place so far in the 2017 NASCAR season. While he hasn’t won yet, it would seem to be only a matter of time.

The 21-year-old Elliott would certainly qualify to be called “Baby Driver” considering he’s barely old enough to drink. Yet while he may not be old in age, he’s already got quite a bit of life under his belt, including being the first person to win a NASCAR series title in their rookie year after capturing the 2014 Nationwide Series championship. Being the son of a well-renowned driver in Bill Elliott doesn’t hurt either.

And he’s been unafraid to try different things, including being an analyst for FOX Sports and appearing on MTV’s The Dude Perfect Show, so if you asked him to do something crazy he’d probably be up for it.

Chase Elliott has also demonstrated his willingness to be a team player, having recently signed a contract extension that keeps him in the No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports car through 2022. So he plays well with others, and considering how inter-team drama is a fatal flaw in many heist movies (see: The Italian Job), that might be his most valuable quality as a wheelman.
