Chase Elliott has won a solitary race this season. Moreover, such a race win drought does not excite the HM driver as he eludes to win another race this season before the playoffs commence. This determination is witnessed in the No.9 driver as he has set his goal to win a race around the two-mile track this weekend and assert his authority over the field.
Michigan has been the playing ground for Ford drivers as for the past two decades, more than a dozen races have been won by Ford drivers. On the other hand, Chevy drivers are not also far behind as the manufacturer has claimed nine wins in the same time span. However, the Chevrolet drivers are keen on moving this number in their balance and winning the 10th race for the manufacturer this weekend at the track.
While Chevy drivers are eager to win the race, Chase Elliott has emerged as the prime candidate for the victory. The 28-year-old admitted that he had never won around Michigan, but his track record has been fairly impressive as he has finished runners-up multiple times. However, this time, he wants to do one up his best result here and win the race after a winless streak since his last victory in Texas.
I’ve never done it, but I have to imagine it’d be pretty cool, with it being a home race for Team Chevy and with Michigan being what it is. I think that would be a huge deal and I’d love to check that box for them. And I know every driver does for every manufacturer, whoever you’re driving for. It would be a really cool thing, and I’d love to add that to the list of accomplishments. Chase Elliott said in an interview
