Chase Elliott ends Top-10 skid at Bristol
BRISTOL, Tenn. — Chase Elliott earned his first Top-10 finish of the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season, also ending a tie for the longest Top-10 skid of his career.
Elliott finished eighth in the Food City 500 Sunday at Bristol Motor Speedway, earning his first Top-10 finish in nine starts, dating back to last season.
Elliott’s streak of eight races without a Top-10 has happened twice, with the other time coming in 2016, his rookie year.
The 2020 series champion started the race fifth. Throughout the 500-lap race, Elliott led on two occasions for five laps, but failed to pick up stage points.
Elliott had the tenth-most points among the competition Sunday, and after five races, leaves Bristol sixth in points with an 42-point advantage over the playoff cutline.
The next race is scheduled for next Sunday, March 24 at Circuit of the Americas (Austin), where Elliott won in 2021.
