Chase Elliott In Less Than Ideal Spot For New Hampshire
1 year agoChase Elliott will begin the Crayon 301 from the 18th position. His qualifying efforts were in the middle of the pack with consistency on Saturday. Worse, his practice laps were only 28th. That average of 31.116 seconds was more than six tenths of a second off from Martin Truex Jr.'s time. Elliott had qualified second or third in three consecutive races at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway. He even led 66 laps in his past two appearances. However, the No. 9 car needs to take risks too. Elliott is 23rd in the standings and the clock is ticking for the playoffs.
