Pre-buzz around the race
Ahead of the race, Chase Elliot, in an interview with MRN said, "I feel like we need to be just a tick better. I feel like we’ve consistently been really strong, but not consistently just dominant. So I would like to see us kind of get over the hump and be just a tick better to really assert ourselves there more often, you know, in that first place instead of that third, fourth consistently." Elliot is one of the drivers touted to be the favorite going into the weekend's race.
