Chase Elliott Eliminated From 2025 Title Contention Despite Strong Martinsville Run
Chase Elliott finished third in Sunday's Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway. Elliott was one of the fastest drivers of the race and ran in the top five throughout most of the race. He placed fourth at the end of the first two stages and looked like one of the few drivers who could compete against the dominant drivers of the day, William Byron and Chase Elliott. Unfortunately for Elliott, he was caught a lap down during a green flag pit sequence due to a caution on lap 379 for Erik Jones spinning. Elliott spent the rest of the race in the final stage recovering from outside the top five, but was able to recover to third, earning his fourth consecutive top-5 result by passing Ross Chastain in the closing laps. Despite his strong run, Elliott was unable to score enough points to advance to the championship race in the playoffs, as he needed to win to keep his postseason hopes alive.
