Chase Elliott

Pit Lane Interview

Q. Chase, fourth place. Good effort considering a lot of people are looking at you maybe to win this thing. How was the car overall and how did things change?

CHASE ELLIOTT: Yeah, I thought our car was really good, honestly. Thought our team did a good job yesterday, leading into the weekend, certainly getting this thing where it needed to be I thought for a balance for today. Yeah, all that was really good. Just needed control of the race.

I really needed to get to Denny there at the end of that second stage and try to get control. I knew the second half everybody was going to be better and closer. Just that little bit of being able to control this thing from that point forward means a lot.

Unfortunately I didn't do a great job getting to him. I was trying, just came up a few car lengths short. Yeah, just puts you in a tough spot trying to play catch-up and whatnot.

Yeah, solid day. We need more than solid. So we'll keep trucking.
