Chase Elliott

Pit Lane Interview

Q. Chase Elliott, part of this 1-2-3 today. Gave everything you had on the last restart.

CHASE ELLIOTT: Second or third, what does it matter? Yeah, obviously number one, congrats to William and everybody at Hendrick Motorsports. Rick and Linda, all the folks. Jeff and Jeff and Chad, all the people that put this together for us. They have an unbelievable program. I think we're all proud to call it home.

It was awesome hosting over a thousand folks from Hendrick today, employees and their families. Glad one of us could get it done. Obviously wish we could have got it done, selfishly like anybody would.

Nice to have a couple solid weeks, to be in contention there for a win. Haven't been in contention to win one in a while. It was fun to kind of get to that last restart and it actually mattered. Enjoyed that aspect. Certainly hungry for more.

Q. You mentioned being in contention. The 9 team starting to hit their stride. How good does that feel?

CHASE ELLIOTT: Yeah, no, the last couple weeks, really not just the last couple weeks, but I feel like throughout a lot of the season this year, we've been working in a good direction, working really good together. Pit stops have been really good. Alan has been calling really good races. All that stuff has been going in a really positive direction, in my opinion.

I think if we can just keep producing that, we'll get our turn one day.
