Can Chase Elliott Snap Road Course Winless Streak at COTA?
8 months agoIt's hard to believe, but Chase Elliott is currently on a 14-race winless streak on road courses. The last time NASCAR's most popular driver ended up in victory lane on this track type was back in 2021 at Road America. With that being said, Chase has still been one of the best road course racers over that winless time span, as he has had the best average running position (9.97) and the third-best average finish (10.2) on this track type over the last two seasons. This weekend, Elliott will start the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix from ninth. He came home with a fourth-place finish in the 2022 race at COTA and there's no reason why Chase can't contend for another top-five result this weekend. If he's in the right place at the right time late, Elliott could even snap his winless streak in Austin on Sunday. He won the first-ever Cup Series race at this track back in 2021.
