.chaseelliott lost out to CBellRacing at NHMS, and reflects on what cost him the race win: NASCAR
While Elliott has won two of the last four races in the NASCAR Cup Series, it’s the two runner-up finishes in that span that weigh on his mind, including Sunday’s race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
It appeared he may be in position to claim his fourth win of the season but Christopher Bell – who also took four tires on his final stop – ran Elliott down and passed him for the lead with 41 laps to go.Read Also:“Same conversation as Road America, unfortunately,” Elliott said, referencing his other runner-up finish in the last four races. “I felt like just a poor run of execution on my end throughout that last run.
“Christopher did a good job. Congrats to those guys. I know they’ve stayed close to winning, so that’s cool. But obviously for us, we were in a position where guys at this level really should close out a race if you’ve got the lead like that. Just poor effort on my part.”
