Chase Elliott's performance in Ruoff Mortgage 2022 season

Elliot led for several laps in the Ruoff Mortgage and had hopes he was going to maintain the lead to the checkered ground. However, his namesake, Chase Briscoe, had the same power prayer.

He took the lead after the lap 126 restart, but later lost it to Blaney before the end of stage two. He then reclaimed it at the start of stage three, battling with Chase Briscoe, who later took hold of it all the way to the finish line.

On lap 304, Elliot spun from pole seven. Despite spinning, he managed to finish the race in 11th place. On Twitter, Elliot stated that he was proud of what his team accomplished and is now focusing on Atlanta.

"Tough end yesterday but still proud of our team for the speed we showed. Onto Atlanta #di9"

Fans were moved by the performance, stating that they are proud of him and the team and they are expecting a win for their hometown. One fan replied to the tweet, stating that:

"Proud of you and the team too! You guys ran a hell of a race. Just ran into a bit of bad luck. Head to Atlanta and go get a win for the hometown crowd!"
