Chase Elliott on racing at Bristol:
“I really enjoy racing at Bristol. I think it’s one of the coolest places we go to just environment-wise and then racetrack-wise. Just a lot of fun. Short-track racing in general is fun. I’ve enjoyed it. We’ve had some OK runs there. Feel like we had a really good car there last fall and had a realistic shot that I didn’t do a very good job of capitalizing on. I think it’s been kind of hit-or-miss. I remember the spring race of, I think, ’16 being really good and then this past fall race being pretty fast and kind of in-between I feel like has just been mediocre. So, it’s hard to get right. You can just be off a little bit one way or the other and it makes a big difference there.”

“I'm looking forward to having another chance to race at Bristol this weekend, especially right now. We’re coming off of a Top-15 finish last weekend and I feel that’s where we can race weekly without any mistakes. We’ve shown a lot of speed this year and Bristol is going to be a new challenge for everyone. We’re going to carry a lot of corner speed and handling will be important.
