Chase Elliott of Hendrick Motorsports will start 30th after qualifying for Sunday's Jack Link's 500. This marks the lowest-ever Cup Series starting position for the No. 9 Chevrolet driver at the Alabama track. In 18 Cup starts in his career at Talladega, Elliott has 13 top-20 finishes, with eight inside the top 10, and two wins. Through nine races so far this year, Elliott has five top-10 finishes, an average finish of 11.6, and remains the only driver to place in the top 20 in all Cup events. Elliott has incredible upside from his starting position, and with Talladega being one of his more favorable tracks historically, he should be one of the first drivers to consider rostering in all formats this week.

Hendrick Motorsports driver Chase Elliott finished eighth in Sunday's race at Darlington Raceway, the Goodyear 400. Starting from the 15th position, Elliott struggled with his car at the beginning of the first stage. He lost ground to other drivers and ended up in the 23rd position at the end of stage one, making him unable to earn any stage points. In the second stage, Elliott and his team worked on his car during pit stops, and it showed some improvement. Elliott climbed up to 12th by the end of the second stage but still fell short of scoring any stage points for the day. In the final stage, Elliott quietly ran inside the top 10 for most of the stage and kept his car clean. Despite taking a pit strategy of pitting earlier than some other drivers to gain track position, he could not make it to the front of the pack. Elliott ended Darlington in the eighth position for his fourth top-10 finish at Darlington since 2022 and fifth overall for the 2025 season.
