Chase Elliott Starts From The Pole At Phoenix
4 years agoHendrick Motorsports driver Chase Elliott will start from the pole position in Sunday's Season Finale 500 at Phoenix Raceway. Elliott won at Martinsville last week to punch his ticket to the championship race, where he will have his first opportunity to capture a Cup Series title. In nine previous starts at Phoenix, Elliott has two top-fives and five top-10 finishes. Elliott almost won in the 2017 fall race before being passed by Matt Kenseth with 10 laps to go, and in March, he led 93 laps from the pole and finished seventh. Elliott's DFS salary is high but not the highest among the top drivers. A factor of his pricing comes with him starting at the front, but he showed he could lead from the drop of the green flag. He may not be the favorite to win the championship, but Elliott will be a strong lineup choice.
