Chase Elliott Starts Fourth At Texas
4 years agoHendrick Motorsports driver Chase Elliott will begin from the fourth position in Sunday's Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. Elliott enters TMS just outside of the cut for the championship race after Joey Logano scored the victory at Kansas. After a lull in the middle of the season, Elliott has been strong in the Cup Series playoffs, having led a significant number of laps in six of the last seven races. In nine career starts at Texas, Elliott has two top-fives and five top-10 finishes. Lately, Elliott hasn't had the best of finishing results in Texas but has solidly run inside of the top-10, on average. Elliott is one of the most expensive drivers on the DFS slate, making his selection a tough choice. He surely could continue to build off of his recent momentum, but Elliott's track record indicates that there are better lineup options this week.
