Chase Elliott has looked like one of the fastest cars all weekend long, leading Saturday’s one and only practice session, and recording a qualifying effort inside the top-10.
However, the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series champion was one of the first to find trouble in Sunday’s 150-lap main event, spinning around – without contact — from seventh-place, just before the halfway break.
.@chaseelliott fans are going to be upset after this spin.

Elliott was relegated to the tail-end of the 20 cars remaining on the track, but was able to recover some positions, sitting 13th-place at the halfway break.
