The Dawsonville Pool Room’s siren was ringing after Chase Elliott’s inaugural Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series win at Watkins Glen International on Sunday. And the locals seemed to respond, as a crowd awaited the new race winner when he landed at Elliott Field in Dawsonville, Georgia.
Accompanying Elliott were fellow Monster Energy Series driver and friend Ryan Blaney — who climbed out of the plane first, saying “Boy’s a winner!” — and his father, Hall of Fame driver Bill Elliott.
