3 years agoChase Elliott only had the fourth quickest lap in qualifying on Saturday but his speed intervals indicated something was unexpected. His car, in practice, got faster as the laps ticked down. In his lap runs, the No. 9 car was a few tenths faster than his shorter jaunts. So, if he is gaining speed there, who is to say the Hendricks car isn't the most nimble on this track? Elliott nearly won the Spring race last year and any of these racers from Hendrick have to be looked at to potentially win the Monster Mile. --Chris Wassel - RotoBaller
