Chase Elliott came home victorious on Sunday night, winning the Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway and one of four spots in the NASCAR Cup Series Championship. The Dawsonville native now has an opportunity to bring the championship back to Dawson County for the first time since 1988 when his dad, NASCAR Champion Bill Elliott, won the Winston Cup Series Championship.
