Chase Elliott Snaps 42-Race Winless Streak with Victory at Texas Motor Speedway
560 consecutive days of frustration for Chase Elliott came to an end in Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400. Elliott started the race from the 24th position, but gained track position due to pit strategy, which ultimately played out perfectly in the opening Stage.
Once Elliott had the track position, he and crew chief Alan Gustafson worked on improving the car. With 42 laps remaining, Elliott made a daring three-wide move for the lead on Tyler Reddick and Denny Hamlin.
Elliott would then endure a challenge from Hamlin and then a rash of incidents in the closing laps, which forced the race into double-overtime to win for the first time since October, 2022.
