$12 Million Worth Chase Elliott Makes Shocking Admission About His Car Collection: “That’s Been My Speed Fix”

As a NASCAR driver, one gets to experience the thrill of riding powerful cars on almost a regular basis. However, many drivers do not feel that to be enough. Owing to their love of speed, some of them crave adrenaline even when they are off the track. And that’s why drivers like Dale Earnhardt Jr, Kyle Busch, Jimmie Johnson, and Joey Logano among others, have the coolest and the rarest cars in their collections.

However, NASCAR’s most popular driver, Chase Elliott, might not be impressed by any of it.

In his recent appearance on the Pat McAfee show, Chase Elliott was asked to share the details of his car collection. Citing how he himself loves the speed, the show’s co-host encouraged Elliott to talk about what he drives on a day-to-day basis. But little did he know that Elliott would have such a surprising answer to it.

Chase Elliott has a shocking response about his car collection

As soon as the host asked Elliott where he finds his speed off the track, Elliott said, “That’s a great question. And this is not probably the norm… I think there are some guys that collect cars, I’ve just never been a car collector.”

“I don’t really have a collection of cars. The driving aspect and the racing has been my fix. That’s been my speed fix forever. I have never really needed anything else.”

This was shocking, as many expected the driver to have a huge car collection, especially since the $12 million worth (as per Celebrity Net Worth) driver comes from a racing background. Surprised by his answer, show’s host Pat McAfee immediately exclaimed, “So you drive a minivan out there? Chase, you’re driving a minivan out there?”

And continuing his streak of unexpected answers, Elliott replied with a smile, “Yeah! If Chevrolet sold a nice minivan, I’d consider it.”
