Chase Elliott qualified 38th and last for today's Kansas race after believing that he lost a cylinder during his qualifying run. This necessitated an engine change, but he loses nothing from that since he was going to have to start last anyway. Despite the weak qualifying run, Elliott likely won't have many issues getting a good finish as Elliott is extremely consistent at Kansas with finishes of 7th or better in nine of his last twelve starts. Additionally, Kansas is a track where passing is currently very easy except on restarts so qualifying won't matter much unless he gets caught up in an early wreck. His poor qualifying run may likely cost him stage points in Stage 1, but Elliott should probably still get a good finish to nullify that disadvantage.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
