Chase Elliott Will Be A Factor At Michigan
4 years agoHendrick Motorsports driver Chase Elliott will start from the eighth position in Saturday's FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway. Elliott and the No. 9 team have lacked some race-winning speed over the last two months, but Michigan is one of Elliott's best tracks on the circuit. In eight starts at the two-mile track, Elliott has a pristine 7.6 average finish. He has only finished outside of the top-10 once and almost won both races in his rookie season. While he hasn't been quite as strong at MIS over the past couple of years, Elliott's track record indicates that he will turn in a solid performance. In DFS, he isn't overly expensive and will be one of the more popular lineup choices. Expect Elliott to comfortably run at the front of the pack, for race one at MIS.
