‘An Absolute Honor’ – NASCAR Champ Chase Elliott Lights Up ACM Awards With Surprise Presenter Role

Chase Elliott is best known for his speed on the NASCAR track, but this week, he swapped the roar of engines for the bright lights of country music’s biggest night. The 2020 NASCAR Cup Series champion took on a new role as a presenter at the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards in Frisco, Texas, an event that streamed live on Prime Video.

For most fans, Elliott is behind the wheel of the No. 9 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports, mastering every turn at high speed. But those who follow his journey know there’s more to him than just racing. He is just as comfortable in front of a camera as he is behind the wheel.

His appearances on Prime Video have already given fans a glimpse of his personality. Still, this time, he was stepping onto a completely different stage, filled with music, lights, and some of the country’s biggest stars.

This was a chance for him to show a different side of himself. Known for his calm and focused demeanor on the racetrack, he stepped into a world of music, lights, and live performances. It was a new experience, but one he seemed ready to embrace. For a driver who stayed calm under pressure, this was just another opportunity to shine and connect with fans.

From Victory Lane to the ACM Awards Stage
