As reported by Forbes, Marc Butler, SVP, Strategic Planning/Off Premise for Hooters of America envisions having Chase Elliott as a big boost for the restaurant. He said, “Virtual concepts have been an important part of our off-premises growth strategy since 2019. Hooters is very well known for our great wings, but awareness is lower for other menu segments such as tenders, burgers and seafood.

“Incorporating Chase into this virtual concept will help us create greater awareness, attract a new audience and grow our business with racing aficionados who can share in food and fandom.”
