Chase Elliott on The Clash and if he can take any notes from that to the DAYTONA 500: “I think it's definitely a good tune-up, especially for the guys that didn't get selected to test throughout the offseason. You know, for me, I haven't been back in the car since Homestead. It will be nice to get in a race and make sure everything looks right and feels right, and those cars are really similar to one another usually from The Clash to the 500. So, I'm sure there are things to learn. Obviously the distance is much shorter, but car-wise it will be a good start and a good look at things.”
