Chase Elliott Earns First Top 10 Finish Of 2024
9 months agoOn Sunday evening, Chase Elliott finished eighth in the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. Sunday's result was the first top-10 finish for the former Cup Series champion since the Charlotte Roval last fall, a stretch that spanned eight races. Given that he only led eight laps, spent just 48.7% of the race in the top 15, and lost three places from where he started, there wasn't much to Elliott's day. Perhaps the most notable accomplishment coming out of Sunday for Elliott is that he was able to complete 499 of the 500 laps despite the tire issues that plagued the field. Up next for the No. 9 is a trip to the Circuits of the Americas (COTA) for NASCAR's first road race of the season, a style of track that Elliott has excelled at throughout his career.
