| Chase Elliott paid out at 15/1 odds in Las Vegas. |
Mired in a confounding losing streak since the start of his NASCAR Cup career in 2016, Chase Elliott finally broke into the win column Sunday, holding off road course ace Martin Truex Jr. at Watkins Glen.
The son of Hall of Famer Bill Elliott, who also won his first Cup race on a road course (Riverside in 1983 in his 124th start), Chase celebrated a triumph he will cherish forever. Out of fuel after the finish, he was pushed to victory lane by the banged-up No. 48 Chevy of seven-time Cup champion Jimmie Johnson, a teammate and one of his staunchest supporters, as his father raced to join the celebration after spotting.
Toss in the raucous cheers of the sellout crowd and it doesn't get much better than that.
"It's something I'll never forget," said Elliott, who has finished second eight times in Cup. "I was going to do a burnout, but I ran out of gas. Certainly glad that we were on the front end today."
