Chase Elliott took his first laps behind the wheel of the famed No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet on Monday in a Goodyear Tire test at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Elliott will open his full-time Sprint Cup Series career in February at Daytona International Speedway after taking over for four-time premier series champion Jeff Gordon, who retired from full-time competition after the 2015 season.
