Chase Elliott Likely to Make Round of 8, but Has Hardly Been Inspiring
Chase Elliott is aimlessly drifting through the playoffs via consistency despite not factoring for many race wins, but with Kansas and the Charlotte roval remaining in this round, he probably should advance to the Round of 8 regardless. Elliott starts fourth tomorrow and he leads more races here than not with six races where he led between 29 and 48 laps in his last 14 starts including his win in 2018. While he was never really dominant, he was always competitive as he only finished worse than 15th once, but he tended to finish worse than where he is starting tomorrow in most of those races so other drivers who are starting worse might score more points. However, Elliott is no sure thing to advance to the Round of 8 since he only leads Ross Chastain by 14 points with polesitter Chase Briscoe in between, which may incrase Elliott's motivation for this race.
