NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Debut

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Debut

At age 19, Chase made his premier series debut for Hendrick Motorsports at Martinsville Speedway aboard the #25 NAPA Auto Parts Chevrolet.  Chase started 27th and finished 38th.

“This is a different ballgame,” Chase said afterwards. “These guys are here in the Sprint Cup Series for a reason, and I’ve got some work to do.” Despite the self-critique, Chase made gains as the day improved after being involved in multiple early incidents.
