FILE - In this April 4, 2014, photo, Chase Elliott, left, talks with team owner Dale Earnhardt Jr. in Victory Lane after Elliott won the NASCAR Nationwide auto race at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas. Elliott's driving skills have made it easy to forget he's still in high school. That changes this weekend when the NASCAR Nationwide points leader sandwiches graduation around a trip to Iowa Speedway for a key early-season race. (AP Photo/Ralph Lauer, File)
