Chase Elliott Runs Out of Fuel... Sometimes You Need a Little Push

Jimmie Johnson Pushes Chase Elliott to Victory Lane

Four-Time Champion Gives Elliott a Helping Hand After Championship Race

Chase Elliott had just won the 2018 NASCAR Cup Series championship race at Homestead-Miami Speedway when his car sputtered to a stop on the victory lap. He had run out of fuel.

But Elliott didn't have to worry. His teammate, Jimmie Johnson, was right behind him and gave him a push to victory lane.

It was a fitting end to a season that had seen Elliott and Johnson work together closely. Johnson, the seven-time Cup Series champion, had been a mentor to Elliott, the 22-year-old rising star.

The two drivers had worked together to win the Brickyard 400 earlier in the season, and they had also teamed up to win the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Elliott's championship win was the culmination of a long and difficult season. He had started the year with high hopes, but he had struggled at times to find his footing.

But through it all, Johnson was there to support him. He gave Elliott advice, encouragement, and even a push when he needed it most.

Elliott's championship win was a victory for both him and Johnson. It was a testament to the power of teamwork and the importance of having a good friend in your corner.
