Ahead of the NASCAR Cup race weekend at Martinsville, Chase Elliott is undertaking a unique marketing campaign. To be precise, the Hooters restaurant franchise is planning something special for Elliott. Apparently, they are launching a new ghost-kitchen brand with ChaseElliott called ‘Chase Elliott’s Chicken Tenders’.
Over here, DoorDash, Grubhub and Uber Eats users will be able to order chicken tenders. The best part is that they are available in 14 different sauces, wings, sandwiches, salads and sides from a 196 Hooters locations. Naturally, this piqued the interest of many Chase Elliott fans, and would undoubtedly make them hungry for more.

Some haters did take a dig at the Hooters franchise, suggesting that the food would be bland. However, they did acknowledge that the food would be popular, but would ‘not pair well with Busch’. All jokes aside, this would be a great way to drum up support from Chase Elliott and Hendrick Motorsports fans.

Bland flavor, but extremely popular, does not pair well with Busch.

The #9 driver has been in a decent run of form in the NASCAR Cup Series. So far, he and William Byron are the only driver in contention for the Cup Series championship. Though if we’re being honest, Elliott is in a better position to reach the Championship 4. On the other end of the scale though, the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series has been pretty unpredictable. So just about anybody could win the next race at Martinsville and derail several campaigns from the contenders.
