"Right place at the right time" - Chase Elliott talks about Talladega strategy

Chase Elliott has had 8 top-10 finishes at Talladega Superspeedway, including two wins.

During a recent interview with News Nation, he shared his thoughts on what it would take to get a third win at Talladega. His last victory at the 2.66-mile track in Lincoln, Alabama came in the fall of 2022 when he claimed his second last Cup win. Elliott has also led 215 laps and won two pole positions there.

"At Talladega, it’s so much about being in the right place at the right time. A lot of chaos and craziness goes on, but there's also a lot of strategy, I think, behind the scenes too, which is part of what makes the weekend so much fun for us and for the fans," Chase Elliott said (00:45 onwards).

The Hendrick Motorsports driver also commented on his preprations for the challenges of the superspeedway, which is popular for high speeds and frequent crashes.

"I think that just being prepared, making sure that you've done your homework throughout the week, knowing what your game plan is as a team going into the weekend and put yourself in the spot to make those quick decisions in the right way," Elliott added (02:32).

Chase Elliott ended the 2024 Cup season, seventh in the standings. He has not earned a win since April last year when he won at Texas Motor Speedway.
