1 day agoChase Elliott was one of the most competitive drivers for the win during Sunday's race at Martinsville Speedway. Elliott began Sunday's race from the second position and took the lead for the first time on lap 25 before a caution a couple of laps for debris. After pit stops, Elliott spent the rest of the first stage fighting for a top-10 spot and made it to eighth, scoring a few stage points. In the second stage, Elliott made it back to the lead until a lap 122 caution for Burt Myers having a mechanical failure. Elliott pitted and had to recover back to the front again, spending the rest of the stage to progress back to second and earn further stage points. For the first part of the final stage, Elliott mostly ran second behind Denny Hamlin until a slow pit stop relegated him to fourth. For the rest of the race, Elliott would neither gain or lose further positions, ending with his third consecutive Martinsville top-5 finish.
