Even before his first official NASCAR Sprint Cup series race in the famed No. 24 Chevrolet, Chase Elliott is getting good news. Hendrick Motorsports announced Thursday that Kelley Blue Book has extended its relationship with the company through the 2017 NASCAR season.

In 2016 and 2017, Kelley Blue Book will be a primary sponsor of Elliott and the No. 24 Chevrolet SS team for two Sprint Cup races a season. The two-year renewal, which also includes associate-level sponsorship, continues a relationship that began in 2014 with driver Dale Earnhardt Jr.

It was announced this past January that Elliott would join Hendrick Motorsports as a full-time Sprint Cup driver in 2016 MORE>>>
