First look: Chase Elliott’s “DESI9N TO DRIVE” scheme for Atlanta

The Chase Elliott foundation will once again partner with NAPA and Hendrick Motorsports for the seventh edition of its "DESI9N TO DRIVE' art collaboration with Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Elliott's fire suit and No. 9 Hendrick Mootrsports Chevrolet will feature designs by two cancer patients at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. The suit and scheme will be used for the Quaker State 400 available at Walmart at Atlanta Motor Speedway on July 9 (7 p.m. ET, USA, PRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, NBC Sports App).

This year's "DESI9N TO DRIVE" program received dozens of submissions from patients at the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children's. The selected designs were sketched by 11-year-old Alex Corbin and 13-year-old Kayleb Duran-Rodriguez. 

After being diagnosed with a brain tumor, Corbin has underwent surgeries, radiation, chemotherapy, MRI tests, therapy and now wears hearing aids due to side effects of chemotherapy treatments. 

His design helps show his love for s'mores on warm summer nights. These incorporations will be depicted on Elliott's fire suit, gloves, shoes and helmet.

Duran-Rodriguez was diagnosed with leukemia in 2020 and designed Elliott's No. 9 NAPA Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. The design incorporated Duran-Rodriguez's love for campfires with friends and family. 

The "DESI9N TO DRIVE" program has raised and donated over $350,000 to Children's over its first six years. 

Elements of Elliott's racing uniform and VIP race experiences will be auctioned off via the NASCAR Foundation's auction page on eBay, beginning Wednesday, July 5, and closing Wednesday, July 12, following the Atlanta race. 

New for this year is the ability to donate directly to the fundraising campaign. To donate, follow along to desi9ntodrive.org. 

All auction proceeds will go to the Chase Elliott Foundation to benefit the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children's. 

Additionally, a portion of each die-cast sold of the specially-designed car wil be donated with auction proceeds and online donations.
