| What Nascar Drivers Are From Georgia |
The Fast and the Furious (from Georgia)
Georgia's got a rich history in stock car racing, and it ain't just about peaches and pecan pie. We're talking about drivers who could take a rusted-out jalopy and turn it into a track titan. Here's a look at a few of the Peach State's most legendary racers:
The Flock Dynasty: Buckle up for a double dose of Flock here! We've got Tim Flock, a true pioneer of the sport back in the 1950s, and his younger brother Fonty, who followed close behind. These guys were about as fearless as a possum in a peanut patch, and racked up wins left and right.
Bill Elliott: The Awesome Bill from Dawsonville: Bill's nickname says it all. This racing legend won the Cup Series championship in 1988 and was known for his smooth moves and even smoother mullet.
Chase Elliott: Following in Dad's Tire Tracks: Like father, like son! Chase, Bill's son, is carrying on the Elliott legacy, already having clinched a Cup Series championship himself in 2020. Keep your eyes on this one – he's got a bright racing future ahead.
Bonus Fun Fact: Did you know that Bill and Chase Elliott are the only two Georgia-born drivers to win a Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway? Talk about a family tradition!

So, How'd They Get So Darn Fast?
