FORT WORTH, Texas — Well, that’s not how you work your way back into Playoff contention. Chase Elliott, who suffered mechanical failures in Martinsville, pounded the wall in turn two on lap 10 at Texas Motor Speedway.
Chase Elliott in the wall less than 10 laps in!
He'll have to win at @ISMRaceway next week if he wants to make the championship race. Watch the #NASCARPlayoffs on NBCSN or stream: https://t.co/gOydUHFyv3 pic.twitter.com/c12WCOzbPa
