Lol.........!!!

Elliott has been known to win from the back.
Heck he can win even after driving thru the corner and into a stack of tires :)

Loosing the crew chief is gonna hurt thou :eek:

[dara]

yeah, that's the reason why I changed from Elliott, losing the crew chief is tough in a strategy race like road courses, if it were just the deflector, nah.

[crazed 9.6]

Remember 2018 at Watkins Glen ?
It was Chase Elliott's first career Cup win :)
Truex was fighting Elliott hard and especially on that last lap but Truex runs outta fuel on turn 5 or 6 and Elliott wins it but he then ran outta fuel too on his victory lap... but then our 7 time Champ Jimmie Johnson pulled up behind him and pushed Chase around the track back to the finish line.

Joey Logano wins Stage 1, followed by Kyle Larson and Denny Hamlin

[dara]

Martin Truex, Jr wins Stage 2, followed by Christopher Bell and Kevin Harvick. Tough to say who has an advantage, as Larson is in 4th, but had pitted after Stage 1.

[dara]

Bell tried to shut down a pass by Larson, but got spun, so Larson now second. Leaders come in to the pits, now Larson leading with those who had late green flag stops. Hamlin currently leading, followed by Elliott, but need stops.

[dara]

About 20 laps to go, Larson, Truex, and Kyle Busch now lead, with enough gas.

[dara]

Now Elliott 3rd.about 9 sec behind Larson.

[dara]

Elliott charging, now about 6.7 sec behind Larson and about 3 sec behind Truex., 15 to go.

[crazed 9.6]

Elliott is so charging ... wow !

[dara]

Elliott passes Truex, 5 sec behind Larson. 8 to go.

[dara]

Kyle Larson wins, followed by Chase Elliott, and Martin Truex, Jr. Leaders had to get through some lapped traffic with some rooks. 5th win of the season.

[dara]

Nice pick by Crazed and Me.

[dara]

This actually helps out Harvick and Hamlin, taking away of the available spots for below the bubble line. Hamlin and Larson are tied for points.

Next week, Indy road course, followed by Michigan and Daytona to close out the regular season.

[crazed 9.6]

Chase was driving the tires off that car but just ran outta laps.
Good job on Larson :)
