An Interview with:

Chase Elliott


Q. Chase Elliott, exhausting day but what a heroic effort it was to get back there to second at the end. How do you sum up this day? You passed more cars than I think anybody out there but still come up one spot short.

CHASE ELLIOTT: Yeah, I made too many mistakes to get the win, unfortunately, and made it too late in the race. Super proud of our team. Been kind of an uphill battle all day, but everybody was just super prepared coming into the day, and our NAPA team just did a really good job of fighting it.

If I hadn't have let them down there, I think we would have had a shot at it, but congrats to Kyle, Cliff, all the guys on the 5. Happy for everybody at HMS. Hendrick Motorsports has been working extremely hard, and not only do the people deserve to win, but Mr. Hendrick deserves to win. Really happy for him, and I'll try to clean some things up and make less mistakes next time. Maybe it'll work out.
