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.
A two-tire pit call on the final stop of the race unexpectedly took Martin Truex Jr. – who dominated much of the race – out of contention. Elliott, who took four new tires on his final stop, took advantage, moving into the lead on Lap 247 of 341.
