During the regular season, Chase Elliott clinched the Truck Series championship at Bristol Motor Speedway. It was the first time that a rookie had won a NASCAR national division championship. Since then, he has won five Xfinity Series races as well as three Camping World Truck Series races.
Chase Elliott won the Bristol Motor Speedway regular season championship
The Chase Elliott team clinched the regular season championship at Bristol on Sunday, but the title is no reason to celebrate. The regular-season title only offers 15 bonus points and is about as useful as toilet paper. While the regular-season title is a solid lead for Elliott, a 16th win could throw the whole season's plans out the window.
This was the first Cup Series championship won by a driver, but it didn’t last very long. In recent seasons, Kyle Busch (and Kevin Harvick) have been the champions. Elliott's victory at Bristol is the second of the series' history, and second only to Bill Elliott’s triumph in Atlanta.
Chase Elliott made a mistake
Chase Elliott, who lost to Kyle Larson on Sunday at Watkins Glen, repeatedly mentioned the Coke Zero Sugar 400 in Bristol on March 25. In interviews with Dave Burns and in the media center, Elliott repeatedly said that he is looking forward to Bristol. However, the driver stumbled on the question of where to focus next after his race in Bristol. He also stated that he will attend Daytona on Peacock or NBC.
Elliott finished third on the laps and had to deal with Harvick who was right in front of him at pit road. Elliott was criticized by his past mistakes, and Harvick for the incident. He did not apologize for his actions. On pit road, the drivers had heated discussions.
Chase Elliott confirmed that he would run in the Truck Series Saturday night
The No. Chase Elliott's 7 Chevrolet will race in the Truck Series race Saturday night at Bristol Motor Speedway. Although he has never been third at the short track, he has won the All-Star non-points race there. The driver is also a former USAC Midget Series champion, but has had less experience in the Truck Series. Elliott has only run 16 starts and has never ran a full season.
Elliott may not be as experienced in dirt track racing as his Spire partner Kyle Larson. The Truck Series race will be under the lights. Kyle Larson, Spire #7's teammate, will be competing with Elliott. He will be joining drivers like Joey Logano (Harrison Burton), and Austin Dillon (among others). Hailie Deegan, a Southern Californian who began racing dirt tracks, will also be joining the Spire team.
