Chase Elliott given a hero’s welcome in Dawsonville

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. https://twitter.com/NASCARonNBC/status/1026304913939353600 MORE: Elliott wins at Watkins Glen | Elliott, father Bill share special moment | Celebration photos https://twitter.com/Justin_FOX5/status/1026305037608382464 https://twitter.com/Justin_FOX5/status/1026306211950616576 The driver of the No. 9 was grateful for the support, tweeting after the warm welcome. https://twitter.com/chaseelliott/status/1026475669344145410
