DAWSONVILLE, Ga. (August 3, 2009) - Thirteen-year-old Chase Elliott will attempt to make his Super Late Model debut this Friday, August 7, in the Blizzard Series Carpenter's Campers 100 at the legendary Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Fla.

The half-mile short track located in Florida's panhandle area is home to the Snowball Derby - one of the biggest events in Late Model racing - and is notoriously known as one of the toughest tracks in racing with high speeds and two-wide racing.  Friday's event is expected to draw some of the area's best SLM drivers, including Augie Grill, Bubba Pollard, and Johanna Long.

While the second-generation driver will head to Five Flags as the underdog, attempting to qualify for his first SLM start and his first start at Five Flags, Elliott is up for the challenge in the No. 9 Aaron's Lucky Dog Dream Machine.

"I can't wait to unload Friday and get strapped into my Aaron's Dream Machine Super Late Model," Elliott said.  "This is a big step for us, and the competition will be incredible so I am really looking forward to meeting and hopefully racing for the first time some of the driver's that I consider legendary and on a speedway that is no doubt legendary as well". 

Elliott, who made his first Pro Late Model start in March, has 15 LM races under his belt and has established an impressive record, including two wins, six top-five and 13 top-10 finishes.  His only two finishes outside of the top-ten were due to DNF's.
