Chase earned the nickname Speedy while playing football during his senior year of high school at Hargrave Military Academy. The local paper in Chatham, Virginia published a pre-season article in which the head coach described several standouts to watch for. He also referred to Chase in that article as the Speedy Chase Rodgers. After that, all of Chase’s friends started calling him Speedy.
When Chase started driving he got a personalized tag that read, “Speedy34”. The last two years Chase played football in high school his jersey number was 34. Thus the license tag, speedy 34 and the name of the website in Chase’s honor.
I have the license tag on display in Chase’s room at our house which has now become my home office and still has a lot of Chase’s memorabilia on display. Below is a photo of the article where Chase was first called Speedy.
