FORT WORTH, Texas – Chase Elliott snapped a 42-race winless streak in a race where he had to hold off the field on two overtime restarts to capture the victory Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway. The Hendrick Motorsports driver, who won the 2020 Cup title and has been voted by the fans as the sport's most popular driver for the last six years, ended his winless slump in a race that featured 16 cautions, including a couple for drivers wrecking while battling for the lead.
'He blocked me late, which is understood,' Byron said. 'It's racing at the end, but I was already there and unfortunately, we made enough contact to where it got him squirrelly and it happened. I hate that that happened, but it's the last lap and I had the run, so I am going to just take the run. 'I didn't expect it, but I don't want to do that to a fellow Chevy guy, and we always race really well.
