Athlon Sports sat down with Elliott and asked him about the switch from the No. 24 car to the No. 9 car, the former number of his father, Bill Elliott.
"The No. 9 is just home for me," Elliott said. "It's a good fit. Anybody who has followed my career for any length of time knows that's been my number."
The preview edition goes in-depth into the upcoming seasons for all four Hendrick Motorsports teammates - Elliott, William Byron, Jimmie Johnson and Alex Bowman.
