Elliott Scores 11th-Place Finish for NAPA Racing Team at New Hampshire

After qualifying 11^th, Chase Elliott and the No. 24 NAPA Racing team finished 11^th in the NASCAR Cup Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sunday.

During the 75-lap Stage 1 session, Elliott quickly moved up to 10^th position by lap 20.  He stayed in the Top-10 for the remainder of the session – racing as high as 6^th and ultimately finishing Stage 1 in 10^th.  The 21-year-old driver was overall pleased with his car, only noting a few handling challenges getting in and out of the corners.

While, most competitors pitted under a caution period late in Stage 1, the No. 24 team chose to pit at the end of the stage, which put Elliott back in 28^th position for the restart. But, Elliott persistently moved up through the field during the 75-lap segment and secured a 12^th place finish at the end of Stage 2.

For the final stage, Elliott started 12^th but, again consistently moved up and was in 6^th position with 40 laps to go.  A caution came out and the team pitted for four tires and fuel.  Unfortunately, there was an issue in the pits and the stop was slower than expected.  The team restarted 10^th and finished the race in 11^th place.
