| Chase Elliott is 8/1 to win Sunday at Dover. |
“No, I hate doing that because when you think about one race too much you maybe put too much emphasis on it and you are getting your hopes up to potentially be let down. You just have to treat them all the same I think. Granted, it has been a good track for us and we’ve been fortunate to have some good runs at Dover over the past couple of years. Obviously, haven’t won a race there, but it’s been a solid track. Hopefully, it will continue to be solid for us and we can build off of what we had last year.”
NAPA AUTO PARTS CHEVROLET: The familiar blue, white and yellow NAPA AUTO PARTS paint scheme will once again grace the No. 9 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 this weekend at Dover International Speedway. The Atlanta-based company will serve as majority sponsor for Chase Elliott and the No. 9 team for 26 NASCAR Cup Series races this year.
DOVER STATS: Elliott has garnered four top-five finishes in as many starts at Dover International Speedway, three of which were top-three results. Dover is the only track on which the 22-year-old has competed in the Cup Series where he has not finished outside the top five. Elliott averages a starting position of 12.5 and finishing position of 3.2 at the one-mile oval and has led 138 laps, all during the most recent visit (October 2017) to the "Monster Mile" – his most ever in a single race. Elliott finished in the top three in both of his rookie appearances at Dover in 2016 – something only Jimmie Johnson, Kyle Busch and Davey Allison have done in their rookie seasons. Elliott also has four starts in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and one in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at the Dover, Delaware, track and never finished outside the top 10 in either.
'DEGA REWIND: The driver of the No. 9 Chevy ended an up-and-down day at Talladega Superspeedway on a high note with a third-place finish, marking his best restrictor-plate result in 10 career NASCAR Cup Series starts at Daytona and Talladega. The result was also Elliott’s second consecutive top-three finish this season.
GET YOUR VOTES IN: The All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway is quickly approaching and Elliott is among 20 drivers who are not yet locked into the event. In both 2016 and 2017, Elliott was voted into the All-Star field by the fans. This year, fans have the same opportunity to get their favorite driver into the ranks to compete for a chance to win the $1 million All-Star Race purse by voting once a day at www.nascar.com/fanvote.
