| Chase Elliott is 12/1 to win at Richmond. |
“That place was really good to me in the Xfinity Series and I kind of expected that to roll over into the Cup side, and it hasn’t to this point. I think we’ve gotten better, but definitely not to the level that I felt like I was at on Saturdays.”
Elliott on the difficulty of racing at Richmond:
“The thing that makes it hard is it is easy – that is what makes it hard. The track has a lot of character and it’s very straightforward. Not a lot of bumps, nothing really that makes it really stand out and because of that, everyone is very equal and everyone knows how to get around there – it’s very hard to be different.”
NAPA BRAKES: This weekend at Richmond Raceway, Chase Elliott will pilot the No. 9 NAPA Brakes Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. The last time NAPA Brakes was on track was September 2017 at Chicagoland Speedway, where Elliott finished second. The scheme comes ahead of NAPA AUTO PARTS’ brakes promotion that will run during the month of May. Customers can earn a $50 Visa gift card when they purchase $250 in qualifying NAPA brake products at participating NAPA AUTO PARTS stores.
RICHMOND STATS: Elliott is set to make his sixth start at Richmond Raceway Saturday night. In the Dawsonville, Georgia, native’s five previous NASCAR Cup Series starts at the track, he has earned one top-10 finish. Additionally, he has made four starts in the NASCAR Xfinity Series at the 0.75-mile oval, never finishing outside of the top five and collecting a win in 2015. In the Xfinity Series, Elliott has an average starting position of 5.0 and finishing position of 2.5 at Richmond.
BRISTOL REWIND: The 22-year-old driver raced his No. 9 Mountain Dew Baja Blast Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 to a 29th-place finish at Bristol Motor Speedway after being collected in a multi-car incident early in the race.
RICHMOND TICKET PACKAGE: Elliott and Hendrick Motorsports teammate William Byron have partnered with Richmond Raceway to offer a Hendrick Motorsports ticket package. The package includes tickets to both the NASCAR Xfinity Series race on Friday, April 20, and the NASCAR Cup Series race on Saturday, April 21.
