I guess I’d say two, as Chase does drive pretty fast. And with Earnhardt, you could be referring to either Senior or Junior.  
I’ll leave it up to the experts to decide, though…

Its just 2. You came up with a perfectly satisfactory answer. BB could’ve always asked a “You are not Chase Elliott. Did you drive fast cars for a living?” follow up question.
