The Nashville cup race win will surely be one of the happiest memory for the current Championship leader Chase Elliott as he was able massive improve his 2022 outing at the superspeedway compared to the P39 finish he had at the 2021 Ally 400. Ingenious pit strategy and a strong second-half drive were instrumental in the No:9 Chevy Camaro ZL1’s journey to the victory lane ahead of the dominating Toyota pack. The 2020 cup champions’ run to the podium was more than just easy and it is safe to say that a bit of luck really come around for the No:9 team as they were able to make good use of the more than two-hour halt that came to the race following the rain-drenched day. The Joe Gibbs Racing trio of Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, and Martin Truex Jr. along with the 23X1 pair of Bubba Wallace and P2 finisher Kurt Busch was among the dominating drivers on the track. https://twitter.com/TeamHendrick/status/1541279371352236032 The Toyota domination was only broken by Elliott’s chevy and when the final caution came out with 9 laps to go JGR team made a bad pit stop call which saw them enter the track with more than 9 cars between them and the leader Elliott who decided to stay out. Elliott was able to convert that position in to win in the last four laps showdown as Kurt Busch who was running second failed to catch up with him. Now Chase Elliott has come forth expressing his excitement about how special is his win following last year’s disappointment.

Appreciate everybody sticking around, and it is close to home for me, so -- it's hard to win anywhere, but when you win kind of close to home like that, it is pretty special,” added Chase Elliott.
