Chase Elliott, Kyle Larson Taking on the Bounty Challenge

A challenger for Kevin Harvick’s bounty proposal has emerged.

Chase Elliott announced on Twitter Thursday (Feb. 27) he will compete at Atlanta Motor Speedway in the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series.

He’ll drive for GMS Racing and have sponsorship from Hooters.

Elliott is the first full-time Cup Series driver to take on the challenge Harvick proposed Saturday.

Harvick is offering $50,000 to any full-time Cup driver that can win over Kyle Busch in his next four events. Marcus Lemonis matched the amount, bringing the bounty total to $100,000.

Elliott’s car number for the event is yet to be announced, but it’s likely it will be No. 24 since that is GMS’ part-time truck number in 2020.

Kyle Larson also tweeted his intent to take part in the challenge. He, too will drive for GMS at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Sheldon Creed, Zane Smith and Brett Moffitt are running the full season with GMS.
