Cup Series
The NASCAR Cup Series is heading to Watkins Glen International this weekend, and Chase Elliott is hoping for a strong performance on the road course to secure his spot in the playoffs. Elliott, who currently sits just outside the cutoff line for the playoffs, needs a good finish at Watkins Glen to solidify his position.
Elliott has had some success on road courses in the past, with a win at Sonoma Raceway in 2017 and a runner-up finish at the same track in 2018. He also finished fourth at Watkins Glen in 2018, so he knows what it takes to be successful on this type of track.
The challenge for Elliott is that he has had some struggles on road courses this season. He finished 22nd at Sonoma and 19th at Charlotte Motor Speedway’s Roval. He will need to turn things around quickly if he wants to make the playoffs.
Elliott is confident that he can do just that, however. He believes that his team has made some improvements since the last road course race and that he can use that to his advantage. He also knows that he needs to be aggressive and take risks if he wants to get the result he needs.
It’s going to be an exciting race at Watkins Glen this weekend, and Elliott is hoping to make the most of it. If he can put together a strong performance, he will be one step closer to securing his spot in the playoffs. It’s going to be a thrilling race, and fans will be on the edge of their seats as they watch Elliott battle for his playoff spot.
