Chase Elliott May be A Strong Contender Again at COTA
Chase Elliott of Hendrick Motorsports is starting in fifth position for this week's DuraMAX Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas. This is the second consecutive race for Elliott to start in the top five at the Texas road course after he started third in last year's race. In four starts at COTA, Elliott has one win, three top-5 finishes, and an average finish of 6.3. At road and street courses last season, the No. 9 Chevrolet driver placed in the top 10 in four races at the track type. In practice for this week's race, Elliott ranked sixth in five consecutive lap averages and fourth in 10 consecutive lap averages. COTA is one of Elliott's better tracks statistically, and with practice speeds faster than most, he is a driver who is likely to place in the top five.
