I knew I remembered the last time Chase Elliott won, I was there. Hard to believe it'd been that long, October 2nd, 2022, Talladega. Dude doesn't do burn outs, apparently because he likes to save his equipment for his next win 45 races from now
But really, I'm neither here nor there on Chase Elliott. I did find the sequence of the last couple races to be hilarious for Denny Hamlin, though. After he won at Richmond on that jumped start, he probably should have won last week at Martinsville before they blew it on that late pit stop, and he really had a great shot to win today, too, only to be spun out by an air bubble.
I really think Chase Elliott knew what he was doing by taking the wind away, but Denny Hamlin really should be privy to that move. It's pretty cool you can get away with highway robbery due to no contact. No harm no foul. I found it very entertaining.
