While the racetrack is undoubtedly the primary domain of NASCAR drivers, their lives outside the circuit are filled with equally captivating pursuits. For the skilled Hendrick Motorsports driver and 2020 Cup Series champion, his passion for aviation takes center stage. “Something to put your mind to away from racing, which I think is neat,” he believed (per HMS official website).
Embarking on an exciting journey in 2015, Chase successfully acquired his private pilot’s license, showcasing his dedication to mastering the skies as well as the track.
