Elliott's racing uniform and the No. 9 NAPA Auto Parts Chevrolet at Atlanta Night Race to feature baseball-themed design imagined by two Children’s pediatric patients


Online sweepstakes fundraiser to run June 3 through July 13


ATLANTA, GA. (June 3, 2026) – Following last year’s exhilarating Atlanta summer race win, the Chase Elliott Foundation is continuing its partnership with NAPA Auto Parts and Hendrick Motorsports for the 10th edition of its “DESI9N TO DRIVE” art collaboration with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (“Children’s”). Launched in 2017, the foundation’s DESI9N TO DRIVE program has raised and donated over half a million dollars ($545,500) to Children’s over its first nine years.


Elliott's No. 9 race car and race uniform, from head to toe, will feature a design imagined by two pediatric patients at Children's for the NASCAR Cup Series Sunday night race at Atlanta Motor Speedway on July 12th. Race fans can enter an online sweepstakes fundraiser to win a fly-away race weekend trip for two to meet Elliott, with donation proceeds benefiting Children’s.

Last year, Elliott won the Atlanta Night Race with a late-lap surge to the front. His winning race car featured a Dream Big-themed design by 12-year-old Rhealynn Mills, a pediatric cancer patient at Children’s. Rhealynn captured the hearts of race fans everywhere when she celebrated with Chase on the track’s front stretch immediately following the race on live TV.


“The DESI9N TO DRIVE race weekend is one of my favorites of the season,” said Chase Elliott, a Dawsonville, Ga. native. “It was really unbelievable to win the Atlanta Night Race last year at my home track in the No. 9 NAPA Auto Parts Chevy in the ninth year of doing this program with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Hopefully, we can defend our race title for NAPA and get back to victory lane and bring more awareness to the patient stories at Children’s.”


This year's DESI9N TO DRIVE program received dozens of sports and recreation-themed artwork submissions from patients at Children's. The selected artwork sketches of two patients—8-year-old Maximus Peace and 9-year-old Noelle Springer—have been combined into a Baseball-themed design that will serve as the paint scheme and driver uniform look for the July 12th race.


Maximus was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age two and is insulin dependent. Despite dealing with the chronic disease on a daily basis, he enjoys just being a normal kid, playing baseball, playing his piano, and playing with his dogs. Maximus has a very positive attitude toward life and exhibits a vibrant personality, which shows as he performs in stage plays and commercials.  


Noelle was diagnosed with a form of leukemia called Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) at the age of five. After many rounds of treatment, including chemotherapy, she rang the end of treatment bell over a year ago. Like Maximus, Noelle also exhibits a glowing, can-do approach to life. She enjoys spending time with her older sisters Abby and Claire.


“We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with Chase and his foundation once again in support of the remarkable, life-changing work the team at Children’s undertakes on a daily basis,” said Katherine Wooten, Director of Partnerships at NAPA. “It is an honor to have the No. 9 NAPA Auto Parts Chevy wear this year’s special livery and drive awareness for a truly worthy cause."


Before tonight’s Atlanta Braves home game, Elliott and the two patients unveiled the race car’s paint scheme at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Park, the 30,000 sq. ft. dedicated family space located on Truist Park’s left field plaza. Pieces of the race uniform will be revealed over the next few weeks before the July 12th race.



“DESI9N TO DRIVE is more than a design contest, it is an opportunity for our patients to see their imagination, resilience and creativity celebrated on a national stage,” said Beth Buursema, Director of Corporate and Community Giving at Children’s. “Through DESI9N TO DRIVE, our patients, Maximus and Noelle, are sharing their stories through their artwork and experiencing a once-in-a-lifetime moment. The Children’s family is grateful to the Chase Elliott Foundation for helping make those dreams a reality.”

Khi đọc các bài giới thiệu nền tảng giải trí, tôi thường thích những bài viết ngắn gọn để có thể xem nhanh trên điện thoại. Bài viết này có bố cục khá dễ theo dõi khi phần nhắc đến Nhà cái MU88 được đặt ở giữa nội dung. Điều đó giúp mạch bài trở nên tự nhiên hơn và không tạo cảm giác quảng cáo quá sớm. Nội dung tập trung vào trải nghiệm chung của người dùng với giao diện dễ sử dụng và nhiều danh mục quen thuộc như slot, game bài hay mini game. Nhìn chung cách diễn đạt khá nhẹ nhàng và dễ hiểu.

Me dicen Paco desde niño y soy contable jubilado de Zaragoza, con tiempo de sobra para el ajedrez y los paseos por el Ebro. Mis nietos me enseñaron a pagar con el móvil y ahora uso Bizum para casi todo. Por curiosidad busqué salas que aceptaran ese método y encontré la guía https://casinosretiroinstantaneo.es/casinos-bizum/ con explicaciones muy claras. Valoro que en Casinos Retiro Instantáneo hablen de límites y de tiempos de cobro sin rodeos. Juego de vez en cuando al blackjack, con prudencia y sin prisas.

Gần đây thấy cái tên cà khịa bóng đá được nhắc đến tương đối nhiều trong các bài chia sẻ kinh nghiệm nên mình quyết định ghé qua quan sát. Ấn tượng đầu là nền tảng xử lý phần nhìn rất thông thoáng, bảng điểm số thể thao và không gian bàn cược live casino không bị trộn lẫn vào nhau. Phân khu dành cho các tựa game slot cũng được gom tụ chuẩn chỉ tại mỗi sảnh game. Trang web thể hiện một bố cục hợp lý, việc định vị các mục quan trọng rất trực quan và không gây cảm giác quá tải dữ liệu.

When it comes to introducing music through listening and practice, I would rather understand one useful detail properly than rush through a long list of ideas. Listening for one musical detail can make a short piece feel entirely different. That connection helps me see why ok rummy can be worth a closer look. A short discussion of an everyday example would make this easier for me to connect with, especially as someone still learning about the subject. Which listening exercises work well before a learner starts studying notation?

I can see why planning a thoughtful visit to Fethiye would invite discussion, since different people will bring different experiences to the same question. Leaving space between activities can make a travel itinerary easier to enjoy. It gives me a more concrete starting point for thinking about yonogames. I am still thinking through the details, and a small example would help me picture how this works in practice. How would you balance sightseeing with time to explore without a schedule?
