As much as the NASCAR world is popular with American fans, college football also attracts a significant amount of fans. Recently Georgia’s own Georgia Bulldogs won the College Football Playoff National Championship for the second time in a row. Following this celebration erupted across the state. Joining the celebrations was the state’s own NASCAR icon, Chase Elliott.
The Georgia juggernauts absolutely destroyed TCU in the championship game with a score of 65-7. Furthermore, TCU never stood a chance in the first place against the Bulldogs. The score spoke for itself. They reported that quite a lot of TCU fans left the venue early on as they could not witness the mismatch going on in the field.
