“I'm super excited, yeah. We had an opportunity to make something better. Chevrolet put a lot of effort into it. As a group, collectively, from the team side, I know Hendrick (Motorsports) did. I'm excited to see where it is. It's an exciting thing to be able to have an opportunity to make something better. This sport is always evolving. There's always people out front, you're trying to catch them. This is an opportunity for us to catch up, do better, improve. That's all we want to do, is just improve from where we were.”
1.5-MILE TRACK STATS: Chase Elliott will make his 46th start on a 1.5-mile track this weekend as Las Vegas Motor Speedway. In his previous 45 starts on the same track length, he has led 427 laps. The Dawsonville, Georgia, native scored his first 1.5-mile track win in October 2018 at Kansas Speedway. Along with that win, Elliott has collected 15 top-five finishes – three of which are runner-up results – and 24 top-10s on 1.5-mile tracks.
LAST YEAR AT LVMS: Las Vegas Motor Speedway was one of three tracks where Elliott finished inside the top 10 during both events in 2019. He finished ninth during the March race and fourth in September – only four other drivers finished top 10 in both. He held the fourth-best average running position at Las Vegas last September (7.1) en route to his fourth-place finish, his second career top-five result at the 1.5-mile track.
ELLIOTT’S VEGAS STATS: This weekend, Elliott is set to make his seventh NASCAR Cup Series start at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. In his previous six starts, he has collected two top-five finishes and three top-10s. Elliott currently is tied with Martin Truex Jr. for the most stage top-10s at the Las Vegas track with eight.
NAPA AUTO PARTS: During Daytona Speedweeks, it was announced that NAPA AUTO PARTS and Hendrick Motorsports will continue their partnership for another two seasons. NAPA will remain a primary sponsor of Elliott and the No. 9 team through 2022. Click here to read the full release.
